Abstract
Device for tightening a strap (1) for the upper of a ski boot. The strap has driving teeth (4) on one side and retaining teeth (5) on the other side. The retaining teeth engage with a fixed tooth (6) forming an abutment carried by an anchoring piece (2), while the driving teeth are engaged by a rib (9) on a control member (3), which rib exerts a longitudinal thrust on one of the driving teeth during pivoting movement of the control member (3) in a first, strap tightening direction. The control member (3) also comprises a projection (10) for denotching the retaining teeth.
