ABSTRACT:
A ski boot with adjustable flex control includes a substantially rigid cuff portion and a substantially rigid boot portion pivotally coupled to a lower portion of the cuff portion. A groove defined between the cuff and boot portions receives a movable cursor whose movement along the length of the groove varies the flexure characteristics of the boot. The cursor is wholly located within the groove for shielding by the cuff and boot portions from engaging a ski. A detent mechanism within the cursor engages recesses in the groove to lock the cursor selectively in a series of discrete, predetermined positions. The detent mechanism comprises a spring biased bolt member mounted in a bore and movable axially within the cursor such that the bolt mechanism and its movement are wholly located within the groove. The locking and unlocking operations are accomplished by axial movement of the bolt member.
