An adapter for releasably fastening a portable/compact unit or object to a holding device. The adapter comprises a base plate and two projections projecting away from one another in opposite directions and at a spacing from the base plate. The base plate has means for attaching the adapter to the unit or object or attached fixedly thereto or is configured in one piece with it. A guide disc is mounted on the base plate, is parallel to said base plate and can be rotated at least to a limited extent between at least one released position and at least one locked position. The guide disc has a middle opening, into which the two projections extend. The opening comprises two plug-in regions into which a holding device suitable for interaction with the adapter can be plugged in at least partially when the guide disc is situated in a released position.

Adapter for a holding device

A rear entry snowboard binding () comprising a leg support () which is pivotably hinged on a binding base plate () on the right side and on the left side which can be swivelled between a rear entry position in which a boot to be accommodated in the snowboard binding () can be inserted from back to front into the snowboard binding (), and a front travel position, wherein locking means are provided for blocking the leg support () in the travel position, which comprise a locking lever () pivotably hinged on the rear side of the leg support (), wherein at least in the travel position relative to a center plane () of the binding () which runs in the longitudinal direction of the binding base plate () and stands vertically on the binding base plate () centrally between the two lateral hinge points () of the leg support (), the leg support () projects further outwards to a first side (R) than to the opposite second side (L), and wherein the locking lever () hinged pivotably on the rear side of the leg support () extends with a free activation region () laterally away from the leg support ().

Snowboard binding having rear entry and asymmetrical leg support

The invention relates to a snowboard binding with a sole-plate which is to be fastened on the surface of a snowboard and to which, firstly, an instep element is fastened or coupled, which instep element can be adjusted between a clamping position and a release position and by means of which the upper side of a shoe, which can be accommodated in the snowboard binding can be partially embraced, and to which, secondly, a leg support is pivotably coupled, which leg support can be pivoted between a rear entry position and a front travelling position with control means provided by means of which a pivoting movement of the leg support into the entry position is coupled at least in some sections to an adjustment movement of the instep element from the clamping position into the release position.
