ABSTRACT:
The buckle includes an anchor secured on one side portion of the front of a ski boot and a buckle structure coupled to the opposite side portion of the ski boot. The buckle structure includes a flexible metal strip coupled at one end to the said opposite portion of the ski boot and having its other end pass through a manually operable lever drive mechanism capable of incrementally driving the strip through the drive mechanism. With this arrangement, the lever drive mechanism can be manually hooked to the anchor on the one side of the ski boot and then actuated to incrementally drive the strip through the mechanism thereby tightening the boot to any desired degree. By providing a continuous smooth engaging surface on the strip, the drive mechanism effectively can adjust the degree of tightening through an infinite number of incremental positions. Further, by swinging the lever mechanism completely open, the strip can move freely backwardly or forwardly to enable easy manual removal of the drive mechanism and strip from the anchor to completely open up the front of the ski boot thereby greatly facilitating putting the boot on and taking it off.
