  • Releasable binding assembly
    Patent number: 5069463
    Abstract: A releasable binding assembly for a gliding board such as a monoski or snowboard which includes a pair of binding elements, each of which includes a mechanism for elastically retaining a shoe or boot and for releasing the shoe or boot upon the exertion of a biasing force exceeding a predetermined threshold. Each binding element includes a member which is movable against an elastic biasing force from an armed position in which a respective shoe or boot is retained on the board and a disarmed position in which the shoe or boot is permitted to be released. A linkage apparatus is provided so that upon release of one shoe or boot, the magnitude of the force which retains the other shoe or boot is reduced or eliminated to facilitate the release of the other shoe or boot.
