Abstract

A snowboard binding using for a snowboard is provided. The snowboard binding includes a baseplate, a boot supporter surrounding the baseplate, an interlocking assembly, and a stopper disposed on the interlocking assembly. The boot supporter includes a first side, a second side, and a rear side. The interlocking assembly is disposed at the first side of the boot supporter. A mutual positional relationship between the interlocking assembly and the snowboard presents an initial state. As snowboard boot touches the interlocking assembly to change the initial state while the snowboard boot is put in and fixed to the snowboard binding. Concurrently the interlocking assembly drives the stopper to rotate so that the stopper leaves or inserts into snowfield.

Dependent claims

A snowboard binding mounted on a snowboard, comprising:

a baseplate;
a boot supporter having a first side, a second side and a heel cup, wherein the boot supporter surrounds the baseplate to form an accommodation boot space for placing a snowboard boot of different sizes;
an interlocking assembly disposed at the first side of the boot supporter, the interlocking assembly comprises a main rod latched to a base, and a linkage set at one end of the main rod which respectively passes through a shaft hole of a first block ring and a second block ring, the linkage, and fixed to the base by sticking a spring to the first block ring near the first block ring, wherein a mutual positional relationship between the interlocking assembly and the snowboard represents an initial state;
an ankle strap extending from the first side to the second side of the boot supporter, respectively connecting to an ankle ladder and a ratchet at two ends, wherein the ankle ladder is disposed at the first side of the boot supporter and kept connected to the ankle strap where a connective rope is set near the ankle ladder to connect to the interlocking assembly, the linkage at the other end connects to the connective rope on the ankle strap, and the ankle strap moves from a locked position to an unlocked position by separating the ankle strap from the ratchet set at the second side of the boot supporter;
and
a stopper set at the other end of the main rod disposed on the interlocking assembly, the stopper is disposed at the end near the first block ring, and the linkage is disposed at another end opposite to the end where the stopper is disposed, and connects to the connective rope,
wherein the length of the stopper is provided for inserting into a snowfield,
wherein while the ankle strap moves from the locked position to the unlocked position, the connective rope is driven to move forward to the snowfield, simultaneously the linkage changes the initial state to rotate toward the snowboard, and then triggers the stopper to rotate perpendicular to the baseplate and insert into the snowfield;
while the ankle strap moves from the unlocked position to the locked position, the connective rope is driven to leave the snowfield, simultaneously the linkage changes the initial state to rotate away from the snowboard, and then triggers the stopper to rotate parallel to the baseplate and leave the snowfield, so that the stopper leaves or inserts into the snowfield while the snowboard boot is placed in the accommodation boot space and fixed to the snowboard binding.
