  • the fastening device according to the invention is further characterised in that the first fastening element is slidingly associated with said first side and/or the second fastening element is slidingly associated with the second side.
  • the fastening device according to the invention allows to overcome the disadvantages of the known techniques, and to achieve very good results as far as effectiveness and easiness of the fastening procedure is concerned.
  • the fastening device 1 is indicated with the reference number 1, and it is represented applied on a ski boot 2.
  • the fastening device 1 according to the invention will be described referring to this particular type of sports shoe, without limiting its application.
  • the ski boot 2 includes a body 102, provided with a first side 14 and a second side 27.
  • the sides 14 and 27 extend centrally, as partial covering of the ski boot instep.
  • Other solutions are obviously possible, therefore the sides 14 and 27 may have different shapes and dimensions, according to the requirements.
  • the fastening device 1 includes a first fastening element 103 and a second fastening element 104, which can be combined with the first fastening element 103.
  • the first fastening element 103 preferably includes a rack 9 applied on the first side 14, and provided with one or more teeth 91, which can be selectively engaged.
  • the second fastening element 104 advantageously includes a lever arm 3, which is operatively associated with a linking element 8, suitable to selectively engage one or more teeth 91 of the rack 9.
  • the linking element 8 is associated with a rigid element 10, in which the linking element 8 can slide.
  • a tensioner 7 is hinged to the lever arm 3, to the linking element 8 and preferably to the rigid element 10.
  • the tensioner 7 advantageously includes a telescopic body 6, joined to the rigid element 10, with which the linking element 8 is connected. The telescopic body 6 allows an adjustment of the useful length of the tensioner 7, for example through a screw-lead screw coupling.
  • the first fastening element 103 is operatively associated in a sliding way to the first side 14 and/or the second fastening element 104 is operatively associated in a sliding way to the second side 27.
  • the first fastening element 103 may advantageously include first sliding coupling devices, which can be coupled with corresponding second sliding coupling devices, which are placed on the first side 14.
  • the first sliding coupling devices preferably include one or more wings 15 joined to the rack 9, while the second sliding coupling devices may include a seat 17, for example a slot, suitable to house the rack 9 in a sliding way, and/or one or more longitudinal grooves obtained in the first side 14, suited to house the wings 15 in a sliding way.
  • the slot 17 is preferably obtained on a plate 140, which is applied on the ski boot first side 14 or, alternatively, is a single body with the first side 14.
  • the wings 15 of the rack 9 can be housed in a longitudinal groove formed between a side 16 of the slot 17 and a frame 18, which can be applied to the slot 17 itself, advantageously in line with the external surface of the plate 140.
  • the second fastening element 104 may advantageously include third sliding coupling devices, which can be coupled with corresponding fourth sliding coupling devices, placed on the second side 27.
  • the third sliding coupling devices may advantageously include a strip 4, hinged to the lever arm 3, while the fourth sliding coupling devices may include a seat 40, obtained in the second side 27, and suited to house the strip 4 in a sliding way.
  • the tensioning devices 101 advantageously include one or more first cables 11, operatively associated with the rack 9 and with the body 102 of the ski boot 2.
  • Each cable 11 preferably presents a first end 13 directly or indirectly fixed to the rack 9, and a second end 12 fixed to the body 102, for example in a point placed on the opposite side as to the one of the rack 9.
  • the tensioning devices 101 may include one or more second cables 111 operatively with the strip and with the body 102 of the ski boot 2.
  • Each cable 111 preferably presents a first end directly or indirectly fixed to the strip 4 and a second end 112 fixed to the body 102, for example in a point placed on the opposite side as to the one of the strip 4.
  • each of the first cables 11 and of the second cables 111 is winded around the sides of the ski boot 2, so that they act on these last on more points as a consequence of the rack 9 and/or of the strip 4 fastening.
  • the cables 11 and/or 111 may be advantageously prearranged in a way that they are sliding, at least for a portion of their length, in one or more seats obtained in the body 102 of the ski boot 2, so that they are not exposed to crashes or damages.
  • a cable 11 is represented, which is inside the body 102, for a lateral external section of the ski boot 2, just next to the side 14.
  • the functioning of the fastening device 1 is as follows.
  • the fastening of the ski boot 2 is made by the user in a substantially traditional way, by using selectively the linking element 8 and one of the teeth 91 of the rack 9, and by using the lever arm 3 in order to tighten and fasten the sides 14 and 27 of the ski boot 2.
  • the rack 9 and/or the strip 4 being joined in a sliding way to the respective sides of the ski boot 2, simultaneously drag the ends of the cables 11 and 111. In this way, the cable 11 and 111 tighten the ski boot sides in one or more prearranged points.
  • the fastening device allows the realization of the above-mentioned tasks and aims.
  • the fastening device 1 Since only on the fastening elements 103 and 104 is actually possible to obtain the fastening of the ski boot 2 in a large number of prearranged points.
