A snowboard binding comprises base plate with an extension in the peripheral regions on either side of its longitudinal axis, and a U-shaped support element, each extension retaining a respective leg of the support element, which supports a back support pivotably disposed in the region of the support element base and/or which is a stop restriction for a back support mounted on the extensions of the base plate. A pivot bearing mounts the support element so as to be pivotable in a limited pivot path about a pivot axis extending transversely to the longitudinal axis and parallel to the base plate. The binding comprises an adjusting and locking mechanism for fixing the support element in a desired angular position relative to the base plate, and/or an elastically resilient damping mechanism for rebounding the support element into a pre-defined angular position relative to the base plate.

The invention claimed is: 1. A snowboard binding comprising (a) a base plate for supporting a sports shoe, the base plate having a longitudinal axis, (b) a front extension in a peripheral region of the base plate on each side of the longitudinal axis, (c) a U-shaped support element comprised of a base and two legs, each extension retaining an end of a respective one of the legs, the support element (1) supporting a high-back disposed in the region of the base and pivotable to a limited degree, (d) a pivot bearing mounting the support element so as to be pivotable into desired angular positions relative to the base plate in a limited pivot path about a pivot axis extending transversely to the longitudinal axis and substantially parallel to the base plate, and (e) an adjusting and locking mechanism for fixing the support element in a desired one of the angular positions relative to the base plate. 2. The snowboard binding as claimed in claim 1, comprising an elastically resilient damping mechanism for rebounding the support element into a pre-defined angular position relative to the base plate. 3. The snowboard binding as claimed in claim 1, wherein the support element is a stop restriction for the back support mounted on the extensions of the base plate. 4. The snowboard binding as claimed in claim 1, wherein the pivot bearing for the support element is provided at the ends of the two legs remote from the base. 5. The snowboard binding as claimed in claim 1, wherein the pivot bearing is arranged close to the base of the U-shaped support element. 6. The snowboard binding as claimed in claim 1, wherein the adjusting and locking mechanism is disposed at a distance from the pivot bearing. 7. The snowboard binding as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least one resiliently elastic damping element is arranged inside the limited pivot path of the support element, the damping element permitting a pivoting of the support element about the pivot axis against the bias of the damping element when subjected to compression forces perpendicular to a support surface of the back support. 8. The snowboard binding as claimed in claim 1, wherein the adjusting and locking mechanism is disposed at the end of the base plate nearest the base. 9. The snowboard binding as claimed in claim 1, wherein the legs of the support element extend continuously from a rearward to a forward region of the base plate. 10. The snowboard binding as claimed in claim 1, wherein the legs of the support element are curved convexly relative to the base plate. 11. The snowboard binding as claimed in claim 1, wherein the base plate has rear extensions in the peripheral region of the base plate for forming the pivot bearing and the front extensions retaining the legs are arranged at a distance therefrom for receiving the adjusting and locking mechanism. 12. The snowboard binding as claimed in claim 1, wherein the adjusting and locking mechanism comprises an insert part in an oblong hole for adjusting the angular position of the support element relative to the base plate within a plane perpendicular to the base plate. 13. The snowboard binding as claimed in claim 12, wherein the insert part is a damping element which is resiliently elastically flexible and rebounds when the binding is subjected to loads. 14. The snowboard binding as claimed in claim 1, further comprising at least one connecting element which can be operated without tools for securing and releasing the sports shoe. 15. The snowboard binding as claimed in claim 1, wherein the pivot axis is defined by a screw bolt. 16. The snowboard binding as claimed in claim 1, wherein the adjusting and locking mechanism comprises a screw bolt connecting element between the support element legs and the base plate extensions, the connecting element being adjustable to a limited degree in an oblong hole. 17. The snowboard binding as claimed in claim 1, wherein the pivot bearing comprises rounded guide surfaces on the ends of the legs engaging matching arcuately curved bearing surfaces on the base plate extensions. 18. The snowboard binding as claimed in claim 2, comprising an adjusting element for varying a maximum hardness of the damping mechanism. 19. The snowboard binding as claimed in claim 18, wherein the adjusting element is an adjustable stop element for the support element legs, and/or a positioning means for varying the pre-tensioning or damping characteristic of the damping mechanism. 20. The snowboard binding as claimed in claim 18, wherein hardness of the damping mechanism and/or the maximum pivot path of the support element is adjustable by varying a radial distance of the damping mechanism from the pivot axis. 21. The snowboard binding as claimed in claim 18, wherein the adjusting element has a manually operable handle for varying the hardness of the damping mechanism and/or the maximum pivot path of the support element. 22. The snowboard binding as claimed in claim 1, comprising two of said pivot bearings mounting the support element on the base plate and spaced apart from one another in the direction of the longitudinal axis, and guide mechanisms for the pivot bearings. 23. The snowboard binding as claimed in claim 22, wherein the support element can be adjusted in rotation and translation relative to the base plate by the pivot bearings and guide mechanisms. 24. The snowboard binding as claimed in claim 22, wherein at least one of the guide mechanisms rises from the ends of the legs in a direction towards the base of the support element. 25. The snowboard binding as claimed in claim 22, wherein the guide mechanisms are arcuately curved and have a center point above the base plate. 26. The snowboard binding as claimed in claim 22, wherein the guide mechanisms are cutouts or orifices in the extensions, and the pivot bearings have bolts disposed therein. 27. The snowboard binding as claimed in claim 22, comprising slide blocks receiving pivot axes adjustably mounted in the guide mechanisms.
