Abstract
A binding for a boot includes a platen () which is manually mountable to a snowboard in a selected angular position. The platen includes a central hole () and a circular array of upwardly facing teeth (). A base (), mounted to the snowboard, has a spindle () and locking arms () which extend through the platen central hole. A central pivot body () includes a circular peripheral surface () and downwardly projecting teeth () which interact with the central hole and teeth of the platen. Ramping cam elements () on a locking disk engage the locking arms and progressively clamp the pivot body to progressively press the teeth of the pivot body against the teeth of the platen to prevent rotation. A clamp () having cam ends () is pivotal between a vertical release position which permits the central locking disk to rotate and a flat position which locks the central locking disk against rotation.
