  • Patent number: 7918477
    Abstract: A snowboard binding accessory comprising a binding interface and snowboard interface, wherein the binding interface comprises a platform, and the snowboard interface comprises first and second discs. The platform is attached to a snowboard strap binding, and the first and second discs are fixedly attached to a snowboard. The platform comprises a circular recess that fits over the first disc. The second disc provides a rotating surface for the platform. The first disc comprises a channel that extends around the perimeter of the disc. Notches extend from the top surface of the first disc to the channel, and knobs extend horizontally from the side walls of the platform into the recess. To position the platform on the snowboard interface, the knobs are lined up with the notches, and the first disc is inserted into the recess. The knobs move horizontally within the channel, thereby allowing the platform to rotate.
