(54) Lever particularly for sports shoes


(57) A fastening lever (1) for sports shoes comprises a base (2) which is rigidly coupled to a first flap (3) and is provided with two shoulders (4a,4b) between which a U-shaped lever arm (5) is articulated, a traction member (9) being pivoted between the wings of the U-shaped arm. The traction member is slidingly guided, at its free end, in two slots formed (16a,16b) in a bar (13) which has, at its free end, a pin (20) which is selectively associated with one of a plurality of teeth of a rack (22) which is associated with a second flap (23). The traction member slides in contrast with a preloaded elastically deformable member (18) which is adapted to maintain a constant closure load.
