(54) Fastening device, particularly for sports shoes


(57) A fastening device, particularly for sports shoes including an engagement element (2), which is rigidly coupled to a first flap (3), and a traction element (4), which interacts with the engagement element, and a lever arm (10) that is freely transversely pivoted, at a first end, between the shoulders of a base (18) that is rigidly coupled to the second flap to be joined. In this device, the lever arm actuates the opening and closure operations when it is rotated in the same direction. This allows easier closure and opening operations, with a simplification of the opening-closure operating sequence, providing a lever arm that is free from stresses once closure has occurred.
