Abstract:
1. A device for laterally retaining a boot on a snowshoe, comprising: a retaining plate with a plane of general symmetry on which are mounted front retaining means comprising an assembly of retaining walls forming an enclosure in which a front and/or rear end of the boot is to be engaged; a means for adjusting a distance between the two lateral retaining walls, each of the lateral walls including a means for laterally sliding on the retaining plate, and for locking in a selected lateral position, and in which the sliding means are made up of a sliding element integral with the lateral wall that cooperates with a slide channel of corresponding shape that extends transversely with respect to the plane of general symmetry, and wherein the lower part of each of the lateral walls is extended by a lower horizontal tab that extends towards the plane of general symmetry, to define the sliding element configured to cooperate with the slide channel of corresponding shape defined in the front of the plate, and wherein, the locking means are made up of a movable lock mounted for upward movement on the plate and cooperating with a set of teeth made up of a succession of hollow shapes defined on the sliding element.
