Abstract:
A novel snowboard binding provides a high level of adjustability, convenience, and usability for snowboarders. One aspect of the invention discloses a hook-and-go strapping system which reduces or eliminates cumbersome effort to strap or release snowboard boots to a conventional snowboard binding. Another aspect of the invention discloses a locking lever and a spring-loaded locking plate, which uniquely enable an “on-the-fly” stance positioning of a snowboard binding. The on-the-fly stance positioning as disclosed in some embodiments of the invention involves an easy rotational or angular adjustment of a snowboard binding from a snowboard even after a snowboard boot is strapped into the snowboard binding. Yet another aspect of the invention discloses a unique leg support apparatus comprising a forward lean bar, a tool-free forward lean adjuster with one or more fitting grooves, and a tilt-adjustable articulating high back for fine adjustability and comfort.
