Abstract
Fastening device, particularly for fastening two flaps of a sports shoe, including an engagement element for being rigidly coupled to a first flap, a traction element, and a lever arm that is rotatably associated a with a first pivot interposed between a first pair of wings that protrudes from a base for being associated with a second flap to be fastened. The back of the lever arm interacts with the traction element to allow to lock the traction element adjacent to the base and to subsequently place the lever arm, with no forces applied to it, in the direction of the engagement element. The lever arm has a very limited protrusion and a secondary lever is provided to allow the rapid and easy release of the traction element.
