Abstract: An apparatus comprising a snowboard boot and a binding interface including an interface feature that is adapted to releasably engage with a snowboard binding. The binding interface is movably mounted to the boot so that the boot can flex in a side-to-side direction through an angle relative to the binding interface to provide side-to-side flexibility. In one embodiment, the binding interface is mounted to the boot at a pair of laterally spaced attachment points with a pair of strapless fasteners. In another embodiment, the binding interface is mounted to at least one attachment point and a portion of the boot is flexible between the attachment point and a side. In other embodiments, at least a portion of the interface feature does not protrude below the bottom surface of the boot, and the interface feature does not protrude beyond the sides of the boot. In yet other embodiments, the apparatus includes an adjustment member to adjustably restrict the side-to-side flexibility between the boot and the binding interface, and a dampening element that dampens the side-to-side flexibility. The boot may include an arcuate lower surface that extends across the boot with the binding interface mounted to the boot below the arcuate lower surface. A fluid-filled bladder may be provided to control the side-to-side flexibility of the boot. The binding interface may be slidably mounted to the boot using arcuate surfaces, such as convex and concave surfaces, that allow the boot to slide across the binding interface.

Abstract: One embodiment is directed to a system for mounting a rider to a snowboard, and an interface for use in such a system. The system comprises a snowboard boot, a snowboard binding and an interface having at least one mating feature adapted to be releasably engaged by the snowboard binding. The interface further includes at least one strap adapted to mount the interface to the snowboard boot. The outer sole of the snowboard boot includes a recess rearward of the arch area that is adapted to receive the interface so that the interface does not protrude below the outer sole when the interface is mounted to the snowboard boot. In another embodiment, the interface includes a base that is adapted to pass under the sole of the snowboard boot, the base having a non-planar contoured upper surface that is adapted to fit within a recess in a sole of the snowboard boot. In another embodiment, the mating feature of the interface includes at least one engagement pin that extends outwardly from medial and lateral sides of the interface and is circular in cross-section. The various features of the system can be combined or used separately.

Abstract: Step-in snowboard binding designed to hold a boot by its sides. The binding includes at least one jaw (2) secured to a driving arm (9) intended to be driven by the boot. The jaw has a cam-shaped part (9) collaborating with a locking element (12) which can move in a guide (13) in such a way that the jaw is locked for various positions of the jaw. The jaw (2) is equipped with a return spring which tends to keep it in the open position, and the jaw and the locking element cooperate to keep the locking element away from its locking position when the jaw is raised. In this way, the jaw cannot be closed inadvertently and the locking element does not hamper the closure movement. The binding is equipped with an indicator (76) which indicates whether the jaw is in the locked position.

Abstract translation: 步进式滑雪板装订设计用于保持其侧面的靴子。 绑定件包括至少一个固定到驱动臂（9）上的钳口（2），该驱动臂（9）旨在被靴子驱动。 钳口具有与可以在引导件（13）中移动的锁定元件（12）协作的凸轮形部分（9），使得钳口被锁定用于钳口的各种位置。 钳口（2）配有一个往复保持在打开位置的复位弹簧，当钳口被抬起时，钳口和锁定元件配合起来以保持锁定元件远离其锁定位置。 以这种方式，钳口不能无意地闭合，并且锁定元件不妨碍关闭运动。 装订装备有指示器（76），其指示颚爪是否处于锁定位置。

Abstract: A snowboard binding mechanism for securing a snowboard boot to a snowboard includes at least one moveable engagement member having an open position and at least one closed position. When in the closed position, the engagement member is biased toward the open position. As a result, when a snowboard boot is not disposed in the binding mechanism, the binding mechanism automatically moves to the open position. The engagement member may also function to compensate for snow, ice or debris accumulated beneath the boot. A single handle may be operatively connected to the engagement members to facilitate ease of removal of the snowboard boot from the binding by simply requiring actuation of the single handle to unlock the binding. A separate foot pedal may be operably coupled to the engagement member and is also employed to unlock the binding. The binding mechanism may also include a cocking feature that unlocks the binding mechanism without also causing the engagement members to move to open positions. A non-metallic heel hoop may be adjustably mounted to the base of a binding for movement in a forward and rearward direction relative to the base. The heel hoop is mounted at a location on the base such that no portion of the heel hoop extends forward of the engagement member. The heel hoop may also include a base portion that is adapted to at least partially underlie the sole of the boot when the boot is held within the binding.

Abstract translation: 用于将滑雪板护罩固定到滑雪板的滑雪板装订机构包括至少一个具有打开位置和至少一个关闭位置的可移动接合构件。 当处于关闭位置时，接合构件被朝向打开位置偏置。 结果，当在装订机构中没有设置滑雪板护罩时，装订机构自动地移动到打开位置。 接合构件还可以起到补偿在靴子下面累积的雪，冰或碎屑的作用。 单个手柄可以可操作地连接到接合构件，以便于通过简单地要求致动单个手柄以解除绑定而容易地从装订中移除滑雪靴。 单独的脚踏板可以可操作地联接到接合构件，并且还用于解锁装订。 装订机构还可以包括打开特征，其解锁装订机构，而不会使接合构件移动到打开位置。 非金属脚跟箍可以可调节地安装到绑定件的基部，以相对于基部在前后方向上移动。 脚跟箍安装在基座上的位置，使得脚跟箍的任何部分不延伸到接合构件的前方。 脚跟箍还可以包括基座部分，当基座保持在绑带内时，该基部适于至少部分地位于靴子的底部。

Abstract: An active high back system is provided for automatically adjusting the snowboard boot between a walking position and a riding position. The snowboard boot is provided with an active highback support that is adjustably mounted to a snowboard boot. During walking, the active highback support does not constrain the flexibility of the snowboard boot making it possible for the snowboard rider to walk easily. When the rider steps into the bindings of the snowboard, the active highback support engages a part of the snowboard or binding that causes the snowboard boot to lean forward. In other words, the highback support is positioned to engage the back leg portion of a snowboard boot to provide a rigid surface that holds the boot in a forward leaning position. The active highback support is provided with an adjustment mechanism that allows the rider to adjust the amount of forward lean when the snowboard boot is engaged within the bindings of the snow board.
