An adjustable snowboard binding assembly which can be rotatably controlled without the use of external tools. A snowboard boot mounting platform has a plurality of inwardly facing radial teeth along the circumference of a centralized circular cutout. A circumferential lip along the cutout is used to rotatably mount the platform via overlapping lipped quadrant segments which mount to the snowboard. A pair of radially sliding segments with teeth at their outer ends are slidably held-by said quadrant segments. A slidable band is mounted via actuating/locking levers along the longitudinal length of the snowboard, with said band having upwardly extending posts which interface with angled slots formed in each sliding segment. In operation, the actuating levers are unlocked and the band slides forwards and backwards to effectuate radial movement of the sliding segments. This in turn effectuates locking engagement and disengagement between the radial circumferential teeth and the sliding segment teeth. This adjustment operation can be performed by the user without removing the boot from the mounting platform and without loosening screws or other attachment means.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] An adjustable snowboard binding assembly which can be rotated and locked to chosen orientation angles without the use of external tools comprising:a mounting assembly platform with attachment holes, and a longitudinal length with a central portion and a neck portion;a rotatable boot mounting fixture with a central cutout and a circular insert having a first inner diameter;a pair of side segments having guide rails extending laterally along their sides, an angled receiving slot, and an outwardly facing toothed edge;an anchoring insert with a second outer diameter which overlaps said first inner diameter, said insert having a lateral receiving track for receiving said side segments and said guide rails, and a plurality of attachment holes for an attachment means;a toothed ring insert with an third inner diameter which encompasses said second outer diameter, having a plurality of radial oriented circumferential teeth along its inwardly facing circumference, and being attached to said circular insert;a slidable band extending along said longitudinal length of the platform with a pair of laterally extending side tabs, each side tab having an upwardly extending post;wherein said attachment means attaches said anchoring insert to said platform so that said boot mounting fixture is rotatable held via said overlapping anchoring insert, and said side segments are slidably held via said interfacing rail and track, and said posts are received in said angled slots and thereby control the lateral sliding movement of said side segments via movement of said band so that said teeth on said side segments engage or disengage said teeth on said platform.
