Abstract:
An interface plate configured to be inserted between a snowboard binding and the upper face of a snowboard, said interface plate comprising:an essentially circular central zone through which screws for attaching the binding to the board can pass so that said central zone is fixed relative to the board and at least a portion of the binding is received on a top surface of said central zone; two outer zones of a width smaller than the diameter of the central zone, said outer zones arranged symmetrically with respect to the central zone, and said outer zones comprising ends located furthest from the central zone wherein said ends act as supports for diametrically opposed zones of the binding to transmit forces exerted from the opposed zones of the binding to the board only at said ends; and wherein said ends transmit the forces substantially independently of an orientation of the binding relative to the snowboard.
