Abstract:
A latching device that can latch two splitboard skis together over their lengthwise common edge. The latching device accommodates variation in the distance between latching device mounting holes. The latching device rotates about a fastener assembly secured through one of the latching device mounting holes through the first of the two splitboard skis. A slot in the latching device, engages a second fastener assembly by tension between the outside edge of the slot and the lengthwise common edge between the splitboard skis. The slot includes a series of detents that can engage the second fastener assembly. The detents are distanced progressively closer to the axis of rotation of the latching device to accommodate various distances between the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole.

Claim (Index 18):
A device for latching a first splitboard ski and a second splitboard ski, a first fastener assembly secured to the first splitboard ski and a second fastener assembly secured to the second splitboard ski, and a lengthwise common edge between the first splitboard ski and the second splitboard ski, comprising:\n a latching device including an aperture, a first side, and a slot; the aperture is centered about a rotational axis of the latching device and is rotationally coupled to the first splitboard ski; the first side is distanced away from the aperture; the first side includes a first side portion projecting upward from the first side and bridging over an opening of the slot; the slot is distanced away from the aperture and extends through the first side below the first side portion; the slot includes an outside edge with two or more detents; and the two or more detents each successively engage the second fastener assembly progressively closer to the rotational axis and away from the first side.
