Abstract:
1. A snowboard binding comprising: a mounting plate for attachment to a snowboard surface in spaced-apart relation thereto and having a mounting plate opening; a clamping plate having a peg projecting through the mounting plate opening; a base plate having a base plate opening; a hold-down plate having a central hold-down plate opening for receiving the peg, wherein the hold-down plate extends over and beyond the base plate opening; a clamp fixing the clamping plate and the hold-down plate to the mounting plate; wherein the mounting plate opening is substantially larger than dimensions of the peg in two shift directions that are perpendicular to each other, so that the clamping plate, the hold-down plate, and the base plate can shift relative to the mounting plate in these two directions; wherein there is a positive-fit connection of the mounting plate to the clamping plate and/or of the hold-down plate to the mounting plate; and wherein the mounting plate is spaced apart from the surface of the snowboard by pedestals and the clamping plate has arms that can be pushed between adjacent pedestals, wherein the sum of the dimension of the peg in each shift direction and the length of each arm in each shift direction is greater than the width of the mounting plate opening in each shift direction.
