Non-seperating ski/blade/board safety binding for limiting torque on the lower leg and having multi-positional capabilities

Abstract

Non-Seperating Ski/Blade/Board Safety Binding for Limiting Torque on the Lower Leg and Having Multi-positional Capabilities with a 360 degree cam surface allowing full rotation of the ski, board or blade relative to the boot, at least one cam follower with spring and tensioner to regulate the ski-ability or injury torque threshold, the cam is shaped to provide stable positions where desired for normal skiing, the cam is shaped to provide torque rotation properties to provide for control of the ski, board or blade, and the cam is shaped to allow rotation below the desired threshold for injury or ski-ability.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . Non-Seperating Ski/Blade/Board Safety Binding for Limiting Torque on the Lower Leg and Having Multi-positional Capabilities comprising: 
 a 360 degree cam surface allowing full rotation of the ski, board or blade relative to the boot;    at least one cam follower with an adjustable spring and tensioner to regulate torque required for movement to facilitate stable skiing, ski blading or snowboard riding and to avoid injury;    the cam is shaped to provide stable positions where desired for normal skiing, ski blading or snowboard riding;    the cam is shaped so that after rotation, as desired to filter unwanted loads from the leg, for example, it can return to boot to a stable position for normal maneuvers;    the cam is shaped to provide torque-rotation properties to provide for control of the ski, board or blade; and    the cam is shaped to allow rotation below the selected limits to avoid transmitting unwanted loads to the leg.
