Improved binding of a boot to a snowboard

摘要

The snowboard boot fastening consists of a plate (4) with boot retaining straps, a pivot body that fits into the centre of the plate and turns about a central screw (8) or nut, and a base (9) fixed to the board (1). The pivot body has a central cavity (17) in its underside to receive the base, and the threaded portion (8a) of the central screw or nut projects downwards inside the cavity and has a length no greater than the cavity's depth. The plate (4) has a central aperture (11) to receive the pivot and has a peripheral row of teeth (13a) to engage with an outer ring of teeth (13b) on the pivot.
