<p>A snowboard ratchet-type buckling arrangement (12) includes a housing (18) and a strap (20) slidably received within the housing (18). The strap (20) has a rack of teeth (22) on its upper surface. A tab (32) is pivotally mounted to the housing (18) about a first axis (26) and is spring-biased (36) into engagement with the rack of teeth (22) on the strap (20). The tab (32) allows the strap (20) to move in a first direction and prevents movement of the strap (20) in a second direction. A lever arm (24) is pivotally mounted about the housing (18) about the first axis (26) and a second axis (30) which is spaced from the first axis (26). When the lever arm (24) is pivoted about the second axis (30), saw teeth (38) engage the rack of teeth (22) on the strap (20) to incrementally ratchet the strap (20) through the housing (18) in the first direction.</p> |
