  • Device for retaining a boot on a snowboard
    Patent number: 7490859
    Abstract: A binding for a boot includes a platen (4) which is manually mountable to a snowboard in a selected angular position. The platen includes a central hole (4a) and a circular array of upwardly facing teeth (4c). A base (9), mounted to the snowboard, has a spindle (16) and locking arms (16a, 16?a) which extend through the platen central hole. A central pivot body (5) includes a circular peripheral surface (5a) and downwardly projecting teeth (5b) which interact with the central hole and teeth of the platen. Ramping cam elements (8d, 8?d) on a locking disk engage the locking arms and progressively clamp the pivot body to progressively press the teeth of the pivot body against the teeth of the platen to prevent rotation. A clamp (22) having cam ends (22a, 22?a) is pivotal between a vertical release position which permits the central locking disk to rotate and a flat position which locks the central locking disk against rotation.

  • Device providing a connection between a boot binding and a snowboard
    Patent number: 6783146
    Abstract: The connecting device consists of a circular disk (7) fixed to the snowboard and fitting into a circular ring (8) holding the binding (1) on the board. The interior circular contour (11) of the ring into which the disk fits is eccentric relative to the exterior contour of the ring. The mechanical continuity provided by the ring guarantees that the binding will be held in position without high pressure needing to be exerted on this ring.
