Abstract

The multiple-function operating device comprises a containment body which is associatable with a ski boot and supports a lever which is accessible from the outside and is operatively connected, with the interposing of a ratchet-like assembly, with a central axle rotatably supported by said containment body. The peculiarity of the invention lies in that it comprises a selector which can be operated from the outside of the containment body and can be selectively coupled with a first and at least a second winding pulley, respectively of a first and a second cable and the like. Members are furthermore provided for removably locking the rotation of said pulleys in the direction of unwinding of the cables.
