ABSTRACT:
A rotatable plate has a wide groove to receive a boot binding and the two fit rotatably over a protruding circular guide post on a base plate secured to a snowboard. A cap plate extends through binding and rotatable plate openings to contact the guide post with screws or bolts passing through mating holes to the snowboard. An elevated rim around the cap plate fits within a circular groove of the boot binding to allow the binding and rotatable plate to rotate relative to the cap plate. A square locking shaft with a T-shaped handle fits within a slidable sleeve having four binding tabs mating with the sides of the locking shaft. Screwing the sleeve into a lock base with tapered walls binds the binding tabs against the lock shaft to secure the locking shaft. The locking shaft may be locked with the shaft inserted in any of the lock holes in a lock ring around the perimeter of the base plate to secure the boot binding at a desired angle to the snowboard. Alternately the locking shaft may be locked with the locking shaft out of the lock holes so that the binding rotates freely. The lock ring is elevated above the snowboard to allow the lock holes to drain to prevent icing. A protruding pin from the rotatable plate fits within an arc of a circular groove in the base plate to limit the degree of rotation of the boot for safety.
