  • Expandable snowshoe attachment for snowboard bindings
    Patent number: 11590407
    Abstract: A system for securing a snowboard binding to a snowboard may be an intermediary between the snowboard binding and the snowboard. In some embodiments, the system includes an expandable snowshoe attachment device. The system for securing a snowboard binding to a snowboard may include an upper piece and one or more lower pieces. The upper piece may be configured to attach to a lower surface of a baseplate of a snowboard binding. The one or more lower pieces may be rails. The rails may be fastened to a snowboard. The upper piece may include one or more extensions. The one or more extensions may deploy to increase a bottom surface area of the upper piece. Increasing the bottom surface area of the upper piece may increase the flotation of the upper piece on surfaces such as snow.
