A tool for opening and closing a boot buckle that has a latching lever including a base portion and a longitudinally extending first working head with an opening sized to engage the latching lever. A tongue portion projects from the base portion into the opening, and this opening may be formed as an annulus. Teeth may be provided on the internal sidewall of the opening. A second working head may be provided with a socket portion thereon to mount a tool piece. A lidded compartment may be formed in the base portion. A cord may mount to the base portion.

The present invention relates to releasable binding systems that utilize at least one torsion member for inducing a releasable binding force upon a releasable member. One embodiment of the present invention relates to a releasable ski system incorporating at least one torsion member, a base, and a releasable member. The at least one torsion member is fixably coupled to the base and releasably coupled to the releasable member. The releasable ski system may be incorporated within any system to provide a lightweight and compact releasable system. A second embodiment of the present invention relates to a multi mode releasable ski binding system. The system is configured to switch between at least two modes including a fixed mode and a free mode. The fixed mode corresponds to a position in which the base is fixed with respect to the mounting plate and the free mode corresponds to a position in which the base is free to rotate or pivot with respect to the mounting plate. In addition, an optional or alternative spring biased free mode corresponds to a position in which the base is free to pivot against a spring with respect to the mounting plate. A third embodiment of the present invention relates to a releasable ski toe binding system in which a ski boot is releasably coupled directly to the base to further minimize the components necessary for providing an effective releasable ski system.
摘要:
An apparatus for automatically adjusting tension on retention member to hold multiple objects together. Examples include using retention apparatus to obtain optimal fit and use of a human wearable item such as article of footwear. Sensors may be used to sense changes in movement of the article of footwear, of the person wearing it, or of a third object such as a vehicle carrying the person. A retention member may surround at least a portion of the objects, and an actuator may be included that automatically rotates a rotating member such as a gear or pulley that may be coupled to the retention member. The rotating member may be configured to automatically adjust tension on the retention member many times per second based on control signals from control logic responsive to the sensors.

An adjustable connecting element (10) of a device for fixing a shoe to a gliding board, capable of a mobile connection with a second element (50) to enable movement thereof for adjusting the position of a shoe fixing device on the gliding board, characterized in that it includes a rod (12) comprising a locking element (13) capable of fixing the connecting element on the second element (50) and in that it includes at least one clearance compensation component (25), the rod (12) comprising an actuating element (15) cooperating with at least one clearance compensation component (25), so as to reduce or to eliminate remaining clearance when fixing the connecting element by means of the locking element (13).
摘要:
A ski binding comprising a toe iron, which is pivoted on an axis that is transverse to the longitudinal direction of the ski, and a notched bar, which is fixed to the ski and into which a cable holder can be selectively hooked, the notched bar and the pivotal mount for the toe iron being provided on a common base, which is adapted to be secured to the ski and consists preferably of plastics material.
