A swivelable mount for the boot bindings of a snowboard or the like, including a low profile housing with walls enclosing a cylindrical cavity, the housing bottom having a bore concentric with and smaller in diameter than the cavity, the bore being surrounded by an upward-facing annular surface, the housing top adapted for the mounting of a boot binding. A circular member for rotatably mounting the housing is secured to the snowboard and has a stem journaled in the housing bore and a larger diameter cap fitting in the housing cavity. The cap provides a downward-facing annular flange positioned opposite the upward-facing annular surface of the housing, and prevents upward movement of the housing from the snowboard. A circular locking plate rotatably mounted in the cavity above the top of the housing mount has a top surface characterized by a plurality of radially extending undulations, and the top wall of the housing cavity is provided with a similar undulating surface. The two undulating surfaces are slidably engaged. The plate has a first rotational position where the two undulating surfaces mesh, corresponding to an unlocked, rotatable condition of the housing. A lever, mounted to the housing can rotate the locking plate, moving the two undulating surfaces from a meshed position to an un-meshed position, resulting in relative axial movement of the housing, engaging the opposing annular surfaces and preventing housing rotation.

A swivelable mount and locking mechanism for ski board binding for providing rotational adjustment of said binding about an axis normal to said board, said mount and locking mechanism including: a) swivelable housing having an upper wall adapted for supporting said binding, side walls, and bottom wall, and enclosing a vertically oriented cavity, and a bore, concentric with said cavity, in said bottom wall, and a generally upwardly-facing annular contact surface adjacent said bore, and wherein the top of said cavity is defined by a generally downwardly-facing surface characterized by an array of radially extending undulations; b) a support member for swivelably mounting said housing, and adapted to be affixed to said board, and including a cap portion and a stem portion that extends downwardly from said cap portion, said portions being concentric with said housing cavity, and said cap portion rotatably received in said cavity and said stem portion rotatably received in said housing bore, said cap portion having a top surface and a generally downwardly-facing annular contact surface that is disposed in opposition to the upwardly-facing annular surface of said housing; c) a rotatable pressure plate mounted within said cavity in space above said support member, and having a lower surface that slidably engages the top surface of said support member, and having an upper surface that is characterized by an array of radially extending undulations complementary to said cavity top undulations and slidably engageable therewith, and said plate having a first rotational position in which its undulations are substantially meshed with said cavity top undulations, and said plate being rotatable toward a position in which said arrays of undulations are not meshed; and d) locking means, mounted to said housing, for reversibly rotating said rotatable pressure plate substantially from its first position whereby said plate is moved axially away from said cavity top and said opposing annular contact surfaces are pressed into binding frictional engagement to hold said housing against rotation.
