Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0761114A1] The boot has a lower part (1), surrounding the foot, on which a leg (2) is articulated. The leg is locked in an inclined forwards position by a clip (12) at the back that pivots round a horizontal axle (13). It is released by a press button (22) and rods (23,24). The clip has an arm which cooperates with a stop (8) on the inner surface of the leg. A spring tends to move the stop into a release position. In one position the push button blocks the arm in its locking position and in its other position it releases the arm.
