Abstract
A binding safety release device may include a pivot lever having a first end, a second end, and one or more pivot points. Preferably, a first pivot point may be positioned between the first end and the second end. The device may include an elongated connector that may be coupled to the pivot lever between the first end and the second end. A handle may be coupled to the elongated connector so that the handle and pivot lever are coupled to opposite ends of the elongated connector. The pivot lever may be coupled to a binding release mechanism at the first pivot point so that movement of the pivot lever may be transferred to the binding release mechanism, such as to cause the binding release mechanism to release.
Claims18
A binding safety release device for releasing the binding release mechanism of a snowboard binding, the device comprising:
- a pivot lever having a first end, a second end, and a pivot point, wherein the pivot point is positioned relatively closer to the second end than to the first end;
- an elongated connector that is coupled to the pivot lever between the first end and the pivot point;
- and
- a handle coupled to the elongated connector so that the handle and pivot lever are coupled to opposite ends of the elongated connector, wherein the pivot point is attachable to the binding release mechanism, wherein when the handle is pulled on, the movement of the handle is communicated to the binding release mechanism via the pivot lever to cause the binding release mechanism to release.
A binding safety release device, the device comprising:
- a pivot lever having a first end, a second end, and a pivot point, wherein the pivot point is positioned relatively closer to the second end than to the first end, wherein the pivot point comprises an aperture that is cylindrical in shape;
- a rear projecting wall coupled to the pivot lever;
- a rectangular prism depression that is depressed into the pivot lever below the rear projecting wall, wherein the rectangular prism depression extends around the aperture;
- an elongated connector that is coupled to the pivot lever between the first end and the pivot point;
- and
- a handle coupled to the elongated connector so that the handle and pivot lever are coupled to opposite ends of the elongated connector.
