Abstract:
A convertible binding comprising a base plate, a heel plate and a toe plate. The toe plate is rotatable from one end of a frame to either lie underneath the base plate or extend outward from the base plate to form a front portion of a snowshoe configuration. The heel plate is rotatable from a second end of the frame to either extend upward from the base plate to provide a heel back support for a snow board binding configuration to or extend outward from the base plate, in an opposing direction from said toe plate, to form a back portion of a snowshoe configuration. A mounting bracket with a forward and rear lip is attached to a snowboard and holds the convertible binding. A locking mechanism will hold the base plate down.

Claim (Index 12):
A convertible apparatus for switching between a snowboard binding configuration and a snowshoe configuration, said apparatus comprising:\n a convertible binding, said convertible binding comprising:\n a frame comprising a first side and a second side wherein said frame has a toe end and a heel end; \n a toe plate rotatably connected at said toe end of said frame, wherein said toe plate is rotatable from a first position which is underneath said base plate to a second toe position which is extended from said base plate beyond said toe end of said frame; \n a base plate rotatably connected at said toe end of said frame; \n a heel plate rotatably connected to said first side and said second side of said frame at said heel end of said frame, wherein said heel plate is rotatable from a first position in which the heel plate is mostly perpendicular in respect to said base plate to a second heel position which is extended from said base plate beyond said heel end of said frame and opposite said toe plate extension; and \n a mounting bracket enabled to attach to a snowboard, said mounting bracket comprising a front bracket lip, a rear bracket lip and at least one sash lever, wherein said mounting bracket is enabled to hold said convertible binding in place on said snowboard by engaging a toe plate lip fitting in said rear bracket lip, engaging a base plate lip fitting in said front mounting bracket lip and by holding said base plate firmly down with said sash lever.
