Snowboard binding assembly

摘要

A snowboard binding assembly (3) comprises a base plate (4) having a bottom surface (5) adapted to be attached to an upper surface of the snowboard (2) and a binding mounting plate (8) positioned above the base plate (4) and attached thereto in a manner allowing a relative rotation between the base plate (4) and binding mounting plate (8) around an axis (10) substantially perpendicular to the bottom surface (5) of the base plate (4), and further comprising locking means for selectively preventing said relative rotation. The locking means comprise facing engagement means (14,15) provided on the base plate (4) and binding mounting plate (8). The binding mounting plate (8) additionally is attached to the base plate (4) in a manner allowing a pivotal motion with respect to the base plate (4) between a rest position in which the facing engagement means (14,15) of the base plate (4) and binding mounting plate (8) are disengaged and a pivoted position in which the facing engagement means (14,15) of the base plate (4) and binding mounting plate (8) engage each other frictionally for preventing said relative rotation between the base plate (4) and binding mounting plate (8). Further spring means (16) are provided for biasing the binding mounting plate (8) towards its rest position.
