Abstract:
1. Binding unit for a snowboard, comprising, for the purpose of fixing it to the snowboard, a retaining disc, which is substantially circular as seen in plan view, for a base plate of relatively large surface area, coupling parts mounted directly or indirectly thereon to provide a connection to a snowboard shoe, which is releasable from the snowboard, the retaining disc being inserted in a central orifice or corresponding recess of the base plate such that a perimeter of the retaining disc does not extend beyond a perimeter of the central orifice or corresponding recess teeth between the base plate and the retaining disc, the teeth securely fixing selectively adjustable and fixable angular positions between the retaining disc and the base plate, and at least one slide element on the retaining disc, the at least one slide element being displaceable between an extracted position, in which the at least one slide element at least partially covers the base plate and an inserted position, in which the slide element does not span or overlap the transition region between the retaining disc and the base plate, the at least one slide element in the extracted position preventing the base plate from being lifted off the retaining disc in a direction perpendicular to its mounting plane while enabling the base plate to be lifted off the retaining disc in the inserted position.
