Abstract
The device for retention of the foot in a ski boot (1) having a rigid shell comprises a screw-nut system (12, 11) actuatable (13) by the user, to draw into displacement, according to the contour of the upper side of the foot, the upper end (7) of a strap (5) connected at its other end to the shell (1). The end (7) of the strap (5) is drawn by a small rod (9) in the general form of an approximately rectangular ring connecting the end (7) of the strap (5) to the nut (11). In the unlocked state of the ensemble constituted by control element (13), screw (12) and nut (11), the strap (5) cannot collapse toward the interior of the shell (1), hence cannot create any hindrance to the introduction of the slipper into the boot.
