ABSTRACT:
A swivelable mount for the boot bindings of a snowboard or the like, including a low profile housing with walls enclosing a cylindrical cavity, the housing bottom having a bore concentric with and smaller in diameter than the cavity, the bore being surrounded by an upward-facing annular surface, the housing top adapted for the mounting of a boot binding. A circular member for rotatably mounting the housing is secured to the snowboard and has a stem journaled in the housing bore and a larger diameter cap fitting in the housing cavity. The cap provides a downward-facing annular flange positioned opposite the upward-facing annular surface of the housing, and prevents upward movement of the housing from the snowboard. A circular locking plate rotatably mounted in the cavity above the top of the housing mount has a top surface characterized by a plurality of radially extending undulations, and the top wall of the housing cavity is provided with a similar undulating surface. The two undulating surfaces are slidably engaged. The plate has a first rotational position where the two undulating surfaces mesh, corresponding to an unlocked, rotatable condition of the housing. A lever, mounted to the housing can rotate the locking plate, moving the two undulating surfaces from a meshed position to an un-meshed position, resulting in relative axial movement of the housing, engaging the opposing annular surfaces and preventing housing rotation.
