Abstract

A ski boot comprising a sole designed to accommodate a boot of a skier and a connecting device having a fastening member to be fastened to the leg of the skier, which ski boot has: a lever part that is fastened to the sole via a pivot connection, the fastening member being movable relative to the lever part, a connecting rod that is connected at a first point to one of the sole and the lever part via a first pivot connection and at a second point to the other of the sole and the lever part via a second connection enabling the second point to be moved, and a deformable member that is arranged to prevent the second point from moving relative to a rest position.

1 . A ski boot comprising a base sole intended to receive a shoe of a skier and a connecting device to the skier's lower leg, said connecting device comprising a fixing member intended to be attached to the skier's leg, wherein the fixing member comprises:
 a. a lever part fixed by a pivot connection to the sole, the connecting device being mounted on the lever part and being arranged so that the fixing member is movable in translation and/or in rotation opposite the lever piece;   b. a Mette rod connected at a first point, by a first connection, to one of the sole and of the lever piece and connected at a second point, by a second connection, to the other of the sole and the lever piece, the first connection being a pivot connection and the second connection being arranged to allow movement of the second point with respect to the other of the sole and the lever piece; and,   c. a deformable member arranged to exert a force against a movement of the second point with respect to a rest position of the second point.   
     
     
         2 . The ski boot according to  claim 1 , in which the second connection and/or the deformable member is arranged to allow rotation of the lever part between a angle of at least 15° and an angle of at least −30° on either side of the rest position. 
     
     
         3 . The ski boot according to  claim 2 , in which the other of the sole and the lever part comprises a slide and in which the second point of the link is slidably mounted in said slide. 
     
     
         4 . The ski boot according to  claim 3 , in which the link comprises a frame comprising two uprights arranged on either side of the lever part and connected together by a transverse spacer passing in the slide. 
     
     
         5 . The ski boot according to  claim 3 , in which the deformable member comprises a spring mounted in the slide and fixed, on the one hand, at the second point of the link and, on the other hand, at the other of the sole and the lever part. 
     
     
         6 . The ski boot according to  claim 5 , wherein the link and/or the spring comprises a disengagement member of the spring and the second point of the link. 
     
     
         7 . The ski boot according to  claim 1 , in which the connecting device comprises a holding member of the fixing member, said holding member being connected to the lever part by a slide connection. 
     
     
         8 . The ski boot according to  claim 7 , in which the fixing member is connected to said holding member by a pivot connection. 
     
     
         9 . The ski boot according to  claim 7 , in which the holding member comprises a hoop provided with two opposite tabs, the fixing member being fixed to each of said tabs, and in which the holding member comprises a member for adjusting the spacing of said tabs. 
     
     
         10 . The ski boot according to  claim 1 , wherein it comprises a gaiter fixed to the sole and/or to the lever part. 
     
     
         11 . The ski boot according to  claim 4 , in which the deformable member comprises a spring mounted in the slide and fixed, on the one hand, at the second point of the link and, on the other hand, at the other of the sole and the lever part. 
     
     
         12 . The ski boot according to  claim 8 , in which the holding member comprises a hoop provided with two opposite tabs, the fixing member being fixed to each of said tabs, and in which the holding member comprises a member for adjusting the spacing of said tabs.
