ABSTRACT:
A snowboard binding includes a base plate for supporting a universal boot plate. A pair of locking slots are arranged on the sides of the universal boot plate. A fixed locking latch is attached to the base plate on one edge thereof for engaging one of the locking slots. A latch assembly is attached to the base plate on an opposite edge thereof. A slidable locking latch in the latch assembly is operable for engaging the other locking slot on the universal boot plate. The slidable locking latch is actuated by a cam member with an arcuate cam slot having a center eccentric to an axle of the cam member. The slidable locking latch is connected to the cam slot by a pin. When the cam member is rotated by a lever attached to the axle, the cam slot affects linear motion in the slidable locking latch, which is caused to extend or retract for respectively locking or releasing the universal boot plate. An alternative latch assembly includes a pivoting lever connected to a spring-loaded slidable locking latch by a connecting arm. The boot plate is attached by stepping down on the slidable locking latch, which is caused to retract and snap back into a locking position when the boot plate is fully seated. The boot plate is released by pressing down the lever to retract the slidable locking latch.
