ABSTRACT:
A snowboard boot binding comprising a base adapted to receive a boot, an in-step pad adapted to cover the top of the boot, a rear support adapted to cover a heel and the back of the boot, the rear support being pivotedly mounted at the base. The in-step pad is attached to the base via tension cables passing through the sides of the base, coming out under the base below a pivot point and being attached to the rear support and progressing longitudinally along the rear support. The rear support is maintained in a vertical position by a spring loaded lever, which when pulled back, provides space to insert the boot and most importantly releases the tension in the cables, and which allows the easy insertion of the boot. Bringing the rear support back to its original position reestablishes the tension in the cables. The boot is thus firmly held in place by the combined effects of the pressure provided by the in-step pad and the rear support. For storage the rear support can be folded over the base, to save space.
