Binding system and method with interchangeable frames having sporting blades or rollers thereon

Abstract

A chassis has a motive interface device affixed thereto for a motive sport footwear, wherein the chassis has a housing of rigid plastic or rubber, a mechanism for attachment of a motive interface device at a bottom portion of the chassis, and a top portion of the chassis having at least two throughholes therein each having an internally threaded metal insert. There also may be a set of chassis for at least two types of motive mechanisms from the group consisting of inline skates, roller skates, ice skates and other motive mechanisms, wherein some chassis may have the metal insert and some may not. Further, there is a combination of a sole plate and a set of chassis, wherein the sole plate has two throughholes at a standard predetermined distance apart. Preferably, the standard is UFS for the distance between throughholes, a width of the chassis and bolt size.

         1 . A chassis for having a motive interface device affixed thereto for a motive sport footwear, wherein the chassis comprises:
 i. a housing of rigid plastic or rubber;   ii. a mechanism for attachment of a motive interface device at a bottom portion of the chassis;   iii. a top portion of the chassis having at least two throughholes therein, each of said throughholes being defined by a metal insert which is internally threaded for receiving a threaded bolt for attachment to a sole plate for a boot or binding.   
     
     
         2 . The chassis of  claim 1 , wherein the housing is at least one of a rigid plastic and rubber, and the metal insert is co-molded with the housing. 
     
     
         3 . The chassis of  claim 1 , wherein the motive interface device is at least one of fixed to the chassis so as not to be readily removable and the throughholes in the chassis are not readily accessible for threading a bolt and permanently fixed to the chassis so as not to be removable without causing permanent damage and the throughholes in the chassis are not readily accessible for threading a bolt. 
     
     
         4 . The chassis of  claim 1 , wherein the internally threaded metal insert is made for receiving an M6 bolt size, and wherein the throughholes are disposed at a distance according to UFS standard and a width of the chassis is in accordance with UFS standard. 
     
     
         5 . A set of chassis for at least two types of motive mechanisms from the group consisting of inline skates, roller skates, ice skates and other motive mechanisms, wherein each chassis comprises:
 i. a housing of rigid plastic or rubber;   ii. a mechanism for attachment of a motive interface device at a bottom portion of the chassis; and   iii. a top portion of the chassis having at least two throughholes therein at a standard predetermined distance apart.   
     
     
         6 . The set of chassis of  claim 5 , wherein the top portion of each chassis has a standard predetermined width. 
     
     
         7 . The set of chassis of  claim 5 , wherein the standard is UFS. 
     
     
         8 . The set of chassis of  claim 5 , wherein the predetermined distance is one of 165 mm and 195 mm. 
     
     
         9 . The set of chassis of  claim 5 , wherein at least one type of chassis in the set has an internally threaded metal insert affixed to the top portion of the chassis and at least one type of chassis in the set does not have a threaded metal insert. 
     
     
         10 . The set of chassis of  claim 5 , wherein the internally threaded metal insert is co-molded with the housing. 
     
     
         11 . The set of chassis of  claim 5 , wherein the internally threaded metal insert is made for receiving an M6 bolt size. 
     
     
         12 . The set of chassis of  claim 5 , wherein the motive interface device is at least one of fixed to the chassis so as not to be readily removable and the throughholes in the chassis are not readily accessible for threading a bolt and permanently fixed to the chassis so as not to be removable without causing permanent damage and the throughholes in the chassis are not readily accessible for threading a bolt. 
     
     
         13 . A combination of a sole plate and a set of chassis for at least two types of motive mechanisms from the group consisting of inline skates, roller skates, ice skates and other motive mechanisms, wherein the sole plate comprises two through holes at a standard predetermined distance apart, and an internally threaded metal insert in the throughholes for receiving a bolt, and wherein each chassis comprises:
 i. a housing of rigid plastic or rubber;   ii. a mechanism for attachment of a motive interface device at a bottom portion of the chassis; and   iii. a top portion of the chassis having at least two throughholes therein at the standard predetermined distance apart.   
     
     
         14 . The combination of  claim 13 , wherein the top portion of each chassis has a standard predetermined width matching a standard predetermined width for mating with the sole plate. 
     
     
         15 . The combination of  claim 13 , wherein the standard is UFS. 
     
     
         16 . The combination of  claim 13 , wherein the predetermined distance is one of 165 mm and 195 mm. 
     
     
         17 . The combination of  claim 13 , wherein at least one type of chassis in the set has an internally threaded metal insert affixed to the top portion of the chassis and at least one type of chassis in the set does not have a threaded metal insert. 
     
     
         18 . The combination of  claim 13 , wherein the internally threaded metal insert is co-molded with the housing. 
     
     
         19 . The set of chassis of  claim 13 , wherein the internally threaded metal insert is made for receiving an M6 bolt size.
