  • Patent number: 11338193
    Abstract: A snowboard binding with a base, a bearing shell movable about a first rotary pin supported by the base, and a pedal for controlling the bearing shell from an open position to a closed position, the bearing shell including a shell bottom and two shell sides supporting the pedal. The first rotary pin is supported by the bearing shell to form a boot stop in the shell bottom in any position of the bearing shell lying between an open position and the closed position. The shell bottom can support a bearing and the base, a pin housed in the bearing to form a hinge extending along the axis of rotation of the first rotary pin. The pedal can move relative to the shell sides about a second axis of rotation and be supported by two arms.

  • Patent number: 7147233
    Abstract: A binding which is used to keep a boot connected to a snowboard, comprising a seat which is fixed to a board, a strap which is attached to the seat in order to receive a front part of the boot, a rear bearing shell for receiving a rear part of the boot and a mechanism for tightening the rear bearing shell in relation to the seat. The rear bearing shell is divided into two side panels which can pivot laterally in relation to the seat by virtue of mechanical pivots or by deformation of said side panels, and a center panel which can pivot from the front to the back in relation to the seat in order to enable the center panel to tilt towards the rear and from the back to the front in a closed position, wherein the two side panels are superposed in relation to the center panel and tightened by the tightening mechanism which acts in such a way that it prevents the center panel from tilting towards the rear in relation to the base.
