Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a temporary binding apparatus for binding a snowboard boot to a snowboard. A magnetic element is affixed to the snowboard and a permeable element is affixed to the snowboard boot. The magnetic element and permeable element are configured to develop a binding force that is a function of a rotation angle between the magnetic element and permeable element. In an engaged configuration, the permeable element is aligned with the magnetic element and the binding force should be sufficient to enable a snowboarder to readily perform certain simple maneuvers, such as dismounting a chairlift. A pivot means is formed by joining the permeable element and magnetic element. The pivot means enables the snowboarder to easily rotate the permeable element into misalignment with the magnetic element, thus decreasing the binding force and enabling easy detachment of the snowboard boot from the snowboard.

Abstract: A contact system for a sport board allows a rider to maintain contact between her feet and the sport board while performing aerial maneuvers. The boarder wears magnetic footwear such as a bootie (for surfing), sheath (for surfing), or shoe (for skateboarding) with an affixed magnet. The board has a contact patch that includes a plate of ferrous metal or another magnet oriented such that it attracts the magnetic footwear.

During normal boarding and aerial maneuvers, magnetic attractive forces between the footwear and the contact patch will maintain contact between the boarder's feet and the board. However, when the boarder falls, the magnetic attractive forces do not bind the boarder's feet to the board.

Abstract: An electric ski binding system with magnetic interfaces and a microprocessor achieves releasable engagement of a ski boot to ski bindings. A permanent magnet in the front ski binding and a permanent magnet of opposite polarity in the toe portion of the boot create a front magnetic interface. A permanent magnet in the rear ski binding and a permanent magnet of opposite polarity in the heel portion of the boot create a rear magnetic interface. Electromagnets in the proximity of the front and rear magnetic interfaces are disposed so that their polarity opposes the permanent magnets of the boot. The electromagnets are turned off while the boot is engaged with the ski binding to allow the permanent magnets to couple at the front and rear magnetic interfaces. The electromagnets are operated when disengaging the boot from the ski binding to create a magnetic field substantially greater than that of the permanent magnets in the front and rear magnetic interfaces.
