Abstract
A binding for a snowboard including a base plate having a central opening and a fastening plate located inside the central opening. The fastening plate is held to the board by fasteners, which can be moved to different holes in a pattern of holes. A flange plate and a clamping disk are retained to the fastening plate by screw connection sleeves threaded into threaded bolt holes located on the fastening plate. A spring located on the fastening plate tries to lift the flange plate and the clamping disk in the vertical direction. The clamping disk includes arcuate concentric slots having a ramp-like bearing surface conforming to heads on the screw connection sleeves having convex undersides. The clamping disk has a first rotational position and a second rotational position. The first rotational position forces a toothing arrangement located at the peripheral outer edge of the flange plate to engage a mating toothing arrangement on the base plate and holding the base plate in a non-rotatable position. The second rotational position causes the toothing arrangement in the flange plate to disengage the toothing arrangement in the base plate allowing the base plate to rotate.
