  • Snowshoe binding
    Patent number: 5769444
    Abstract: A binding system for attaching a boot to a snowshoe wherein a greater percentage of the energy from the movements of the boot is transmitted to the snowshoe binding and the snowshoe which then assists in the more efficient movement of the snowshoe. The binding system also provides increased control of the snowshoe. The binding system comprises resilient elastic flexible material attached to the perimeter of the boot and straps looped through the front of the toe area of the boot to points in the front perimeter of the snowshoe and also a resilient elastic strap around the instep of the boot attached to the rear section of the snowshoe.
