Snowboard suspension device

Abstract

A snowboard suspension device having the ability to dampen energy generated in snowboarding. The device having (per binding) a first disc dampener ( 11 ) that mounts to a snowboard with means of attaching a second disc. A second disc dampener ( 12 ) that mounts to the first disc with means of attaching a binding. A platform ( 16 ) that bends in a cantilever action to store and release energy is sandwiched between the binding and second disc.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A snowboard suspension device mounted to a snowboard with means of attaching a snowboard binding, the device comprising: 
 (a) a first disc having an inner mounting platform with a plurality of holes as means of attachment to a snowboard and an outer mounting platform with a plurality of holes as means of attachment to a second disc;    (b) a second disc having an outer mounting platform with a plurality of holes as means of attachment to said first disc and an inner mounting platform with a plurality of holes as means of attachment to a binding;    (c) a platform to support said binding sandwiched between said second disc and said binding.    
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1  further including mounting hardware for assembling said device at mounting platforms, mounting hardware comprising: 
 (a) a disc shaped washer as means of attaching said first disc to said snowboard using said inner hole pattern platform of said first disc;  
 (b) a disc shaped washer and a disc shaped washer with a plurality of threaded inserts as means of attaching said first disc to said second disc using said outer hole pattern platforms of said first disc and said second disc;  
 (c) a disc shaped washer with a plurality of threaded inserts as means of attaching said binding to said second disc using said inner hole pattern platform.  
 
     
     
         3 . The platform in  claim 1  further comprising bushings or springs mounted underneath any cantilever area to manipulate bending action of said platform.  
     
     
         4 . A platform used to support a snowboard binding mounted onto a device to lift a snowboard binding.  
     
     
         5 . An interface mounted to a snowboard with means of attaching a snowboard binding, the interface comprising: 
 (a) a first disc having an inner mounting platform with a plurality of holes as means of attachment to a snowboard and an outer mounting platform with a plurality of holes as means of attachment to a second disc;    (b) a second disc having an outer mounting platform with a plurality of holes as means of attachment to said first disc and an inner mounting platform with a plurality of holes as means of attachment to a binding.
