Abstract

The device includes a box-like body associated with a ski boot, an actuating knob rotatably associated with the body and acting on two winding spools adapted to wind traction elements, such as cables. The knob univocally controls the spools through mechanical reduction means. Means being furthermore provided to finely adjust the tensioning of at least one cable independently.
