ABSTRACT:
The securement and adjustment device includes a base member having an elongated slot adapted to be secured to a ski boot. A pulley having a sawtooth wheel coaxially secured thereto is rotatably mounted within the elongated slot and is also mounted for movement lengthwise of the slot. At least one tensioning cable of the ski boot is adapted to be connected to the pulley. A slide member is slidably mounted on the base member for movement lengthwise of the slot. The slide member is provided with an elongated aperture in which the sawtooth wheel is received and is further provided with teeth adjacent one end of the aperture adapted to be moved into and out of engagement with the sawtooth wheel upon movement of the slide member relative to the wheel. A cover lever is pivotally mounted at one end to the base member for movement between a closed position overlying the base member and an open position. An operating lever is pivotally connected at one end to an intermediate portion of the cover lever and at the other end to the slide member whereby pivotal movement of the cover member will move the slide member and pulley member to one end of the slot to tighten the ski boot by means of the cable. Upon pivotal movement of the cover lever to the open position, the pulley can be moved to the other end of the slot to relieve the tension on the cable and upon further movement of the slide member, the sawtooth wheel will be free to rotate to adjust the tension on the cable.
