Tool-Free Adjustable Binding For Sports Board

摘要

A binding is adapted for coupling footwear, such as a boot, to a sports board. The binding permits easy adjustment of the binding's position on the board, while also allowing for removal of the binding from the board for improved utility of storage or transport. Adjustment, engagement between binding and board, and removal functions may be accomplished without the use of tools or ancillary components. The binding includes a movable coupler element or elements that removably couple to a retaining disc to secure the binding to the retaining disc and the board.

主权项

1. A binding for coupling a boot to a sport board, comprising:
a base plate adapted to be secured to a sports boot, wherein the base plate can be secured to a sports board via a retaining disc positioned on a sports board; a first coupler element and a second couple element to movably couple to the base plate, wherein the first and second coupler elements transition between an engaged state wherein the coupler elements provide an interfering engagement between the base plate and retaining disc to prevent the binding from being decoupled from the retaining disc and snowboard, and a disengaged state wherein the coupler elements are free from the retaining disc such that the binding can be moved independently of the retaining disc and snowboard; and a locking member coupled to at least one of the first and second coupler elements, wherein the locking member transitions between a locked state wherein the first and second coupler elements are locked in the engaged state, and an unlocked state wherein the first and second coupler elements can freely move between the engaged and disengaged states.
