ABSTRACT:
A binding used for securing a snowboarder's snowboots on top of a snowboard. Two pair of the bindings are used for mounting on the snowboard and received around a portion of the instep and around a portion of the toe of each snowboot. Broadly, each binding includes a flexible strap having a first end attached to a ratchet assembly mounted on the snowboard and adjacent one side of the snowboot. A second end of the strap is attached to a quick release assembly mounted on the snowboard and adjacent an opposite side of the snowboot. The ratchet assembly is used for tightening the flexible strap on the snowboot. The ratchet assembly includes a spool with spool gear. The first end of the strap is attached to the spool. A spool release lever is attached to a side of the spool gear. A spool advancing lever is pivotly mounted to the spool release lever. One end of the spool advancing lever is received between gear teeth of the spool gear. The spool advancing lever is used for rotating the spool and tighten the strap thereon. A spool locking lever is pivotly mounted on the spool housing. One end of the spool locking lever is received between gear teeth of the spool gear and spring biased thereon. When the spool release lever is pivoted in one direction and the spool advancing lever and spool locking lever are pivoted in an opposite direction, the spool is released for unwrapping the strap on the spool.
