Japanese Patent JP2002542842
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A binding system (1) for coupling a rider to a snowboard (2) or the like. The binding system (1) includes first and second bindings (50, 100) for receipt of a locking portion (12), such as a binding plate, of respective first and second boots. Each binding (50, 100) includes: a pivotal latch (90) for holding the associated locking portion (12); a lock (103, 105) for releasably securing the latch (90) in a closed condition; an automatic release including a release device (150) for disengaging the lock (90). A displaceable element (140) is movable between a first position indicating the presence of the boot in the binding and a second position indicating absence of the boot from the binding. A linkage (148, 149) couples the displaceable element (140) of one binding (50) with the release device of the other binding (100) such that removal of a boot from one of the bindings (50, 100) results in displacement of the element (140) to thereby activate the associated release device (150) to release the lock (103, 105) on the other binding (50, 100). A manual release (125) is provided to disable the automatic release mechanism and allow selective release of one of the bindings. The manual release includes a lever (130) for disengaging the lock (103, 105) and securing the element (140) from displacement to the second position.
