Splitboard Binding Mount for Use on Snowboards

Abstract

Mounting system for attaching splitboard bindings or slide-mount bindings to non-splitboards or snowboards as to use multiple boards with one set of bindings, or interchange bindings quickly. Accomplished by using an assembly comprised of two congruent parts, namely a receiver plate and receiver plate retainer, that affix to a snowboard to allow the above mentioned bindings to slide on and off of any snowboard mounted with said assembly. A receiver plate retainer rests in and atop a notched and patterned receiver plate that, when fastened, creates a solid but angularly adjustable mounting system for said bindings to be securely fastened to a standard snowboard.

1 . An apparatus for use on a snowboard allowing splitboard or slide-mount bindings, which use a box girder type construction, variform box girder construction, or any similar means of a mediolateral flange attachment, the ability to mount to snowboards that are not splitboards, the apparatus comprising:
 a pair of receiver plate retainers and receiver plates, the receiver plate being under the receiver plate retainer, working with common snowboard mounting hardware and inserts for securing the above mentioned bindings to a snowboard.
 a) said receiver plate retainers of which are comprised of a pair, one for each binding, being specific but not limited to an oblong shape to correctly match overall weight dispersion across the under-resting receiver plate, providing adjustability to a snowboarders stance angle, comprised of metal or reinforced plastics. 
 b) said receiver plates of which are comprised of a pair, one for each binding, being molded or milled from an elastically deformable plastic or reinforced plastic as to receive, when retained by the receiver plate retainer, a binding. 
   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the receiver plate rotates around the receiver plate retainer allowing incremental adjustment associated with a rider's stance. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the receiver plate retainer fastens with standard mounting hardware through the plate to common and standard snowboard mounting points. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the receiver plate retainer's shape is of oblong shape spreading out the applied forces of the torque from a rider's bindings to the maximum area on the receiver plate whilst allowing the rider to use a preferred stance. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the receiver plate retainer's shaped teeth, notches, or grooves conjoin with matching teeth, notches, or grooves in the receiver plate to provide retention to and on the receiver plate to keep it in place and set at the proper angle for riding. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein adjustments to the preferred angle for a rider can only be adjusted when the receiver plate retainer is fully loosened and away form the receiver plate to change the angle as related to the board.
