ABSTRACT:
Integrated closure system for a ski or other boot preferably intended for use with a boot having two portions adapted to be drawn together by the closure system. The closure system includes at least one traction cable adapted to be connected at one of its ends to a location provided on at least one of the two portions. The system further includes a traction assembly comprising a cable stretcher and a return element adapted to be mounted on one portion of the boot. The cable stretcher is activated by a control element which can assume at least two positions, namely, an open position in which it frees a length of the traction cable to allow for the opening of the boot, and a closed position in which the traction cable is subjected to a tractional force to draw the two portions towards one another. The return element is adapted to transfer the tractional force exerted on the traction cable by the cable stretcher along an appropriately selected direction to assure good closure of the boot.
