Abstract

A sportsboard locking arrangement for a sportsboard having a surface and a receiving slot indentedly formed on the surface, wherein the sportsboard locking arrangement includes a locking guider having a guiding member defining a locker guiding hole thereon and two pivot arms downwardly extended from the guiding member; and a mounting device for pivotally mounting the two pivot arms of the locking guider on two sidewalls of the receiving slot. Therefore, when the guiding member the locking guider is folded above the surface of the sportsboard, a fastener is adapted to pass through the locker guiding hole of the locking guider to lock up the sportsboard to a fixture.

       7 . The sportsboard locking arrangement, as recited in  claim 2 , wherein a thickness of said locking guider is smaller than a depth of said receiving slot such that said locking guider is capable of being received in the receiving slot of said sportsboard below said surface thereof when said locking guider is folded in said receiving slot.  
   
   
       8 . The sportsboard locking arrangement, as recited in  claim 4 , wherein a thickness of said locking guider is smaller than a depth of said receiving slot such that said locking guider is capable of being received in said receiving slot of said sportsboard below said surface thereof when said locking guider is folded in said receiving slot.  
   
   
       9 . The sportsboard locking arrangement, as recited in  claim 6 , wherein a thickness of said locking guider is smaller than a depth of the receiving slot such that said locking guider is capable of being received in the receiving slot of said sportsboard below said surface thereof when said locking guider is folded in said receiving slot.  
   
   
       10 . The sportsboard locking arrangement, as recited in  claim 2 , wherein said mounting means comprises two connecting elements pivotally mounting said two pivot arms of said locking guider to said sidewalls of the receiving slot such that said locking guider is capable of moving between said locking position and said storage position.  
   
   
       11 . The sportsboard locking arrangement, as recited in  claim 10 , wherein each of said pivot arms of said locking guider has a blocking edge formed at a bottom side of said pivot arm for substantially biasing against a bottom wall of said receiving slot of said sportsboard, so as to retain said locking guider at said locking position.  
   
   
       12 . The sportsboard locking arrangement, as recited in  claim 11 , wherein a thickness of said locking guider is smaller than a depth of the receiving slot such that said locking guider is capable of being received in the receiving slot of said sportsboard below said surface thereof when said locking guider is folded in said receiving slot.  
   
   
       13 - 21 . (canceled)  
   
   
       22 . A sportsboard locking arrangement for a sportsboard having a surface and a receiving slot indented on said surface, wherein said sportsboard locking arrangement comprises: 
 a locking guider having a guiding member defining a locker guiding hole therein and at least a pivot arm downwardly extended from said guiding member into said receiving slot; and    means for pivotally mounting said pivot arm of said locking guider between two sidewalls of said receiving slot respectively, wherein said locking guider is adapted for pivotally moving between a locking position that said guiding member of said locking guider is pivotally folded at a position above said surface of said sportsboard, and a storage position where said guiding member of said locking guider is pivotally folded into said receiving slot below said surface of said sportsboard, wherein each pivot end portion of said locking guider has an outer slanted surface extended inwardly for allowing said locking guider to be pivotally folded into said receiving slot of said sportsboard, wherein said pivot arm of said locking guider are integrally extended from said guiding member thereof to define said locker guiding hole in said locking guider, wherein said locking guider is adapted for pivotally mounting to said receiving slot having a circular structure via said mounting means;    whereby, when said locking guider is folded at said locking position, a fastener is adapted to pass through said locker guiding hole of said locking guider to lock up said sportsboard to a fixture.    
   
   
       23 . A sportsboard locking arrangement for a sportsboard having a surface and a receiving slot indented on said surface, wherein said sportsboard locking arrangement comprises: 
 a locking guider having a guiding member defining a locker guiding hole therein and at least a pivot arm downwardly extended from said guiding member into said receiving slot; and    means for pivotally mounting said pivot arm of said locking guider between two sidewalls of said receiving slot respectively, wherein said mounting means comprises a mounting axle for transversely mounting in the receiving slot of the sportsboard between said two sidewalls thereof, wherein said pivot arm of said locking guider is rotatably engaged with said mounting axle so as to pivotally mount said locking guider within said receiving slot, wherein said locking guider is adapted for pivotally moving between a locking position that said guiding member of said locking guider is pivotally folded at a position above said surface of said sportsboard, and a storage position where said guiding member of said locking guider is pivotally folded into said receiving slot below said surface of said sportsboard, wherein each pivot end portion of said locking guider has an outer slanted surface extended inwardly for allowing said locking guider to be pivotally folded into said receiving slot of said sportsboard, wherein said pivot arm of said locking guider is integrally extended from said guiding member thereof to define said locker guiding hole in said locking guider, wherein said locking guider is adapted for pivotally mounting to said receiving slot having a circular structure via said mounting means;    whereby, when said locking guider is folded at said locking position, a fastener is adapted to pass through said locker guiding hole of said locking guider to lock up said sportsboard to a fixture.
