Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2762025A1] What is described is footwear for the sport of ski jumping, comprising a cuff (3) hinged pivotably to a semi-rigid foot shell (2) about a malleolar hinge axis (X), comprising means of adjusting the angular inclination of the cuff (3) relative to the foot shell (2) in a sagittal plane in which the cuff (3) can pivot from and towards the toe and heel areas of the footwear. These means comprise, in each area of hinging of the cuff (3) on the foot shell (2), at least a first and a second disc-like element (6, 7) fastened to the cuff (3) and to the foot shell (2) respectively, coaxially with the hinge axis (X), and fastened axially to each other and rotatable relative to each other about the hinge axis (X), at least one locking appendage (10) being provided on the first disc-like element (6) and being selectively engageable in a seat (11) provided in the second element (7) in order to limit the relative rotation between the elements (6, 7) in the configuration which is appropriate for the act of jumping. The footwear further comprises a lever device (12) associated with the locking appendage (10) and hinged on the first disc-like element (6) to provide rapid disengagement of the appendage (10) from the corresponding seat (11), such that free rotation is allowed between these elements (6, 7) when the appendage (10) is disengaged from the seat (11), whereby the cuff (3) can pivot freely relative to the foot shell (2), particularly so as to allow the cuff (3) to be placed in a vertical position which favours comfortable travel when the act of jumping is not being performed.
