This invention relates to ski bindings as wide area in consideration of snowboard bindings as a very speci~tc technical field. According to the International Patent Classification it is classifed as:
2) TEC~INICAL DEMAND
Being engaged in sport called snowboarding there still exists essential risk:
how to protect efficiently legs from serious injuries or fractures. Directly to that problem we are also faced with the possibility of an undesirable effect:
releasing of the binding at harder board carving or harder board sl~rnming to the slope, avoiding snowboarder's fall.

3) STATl~ OF THE PRIOI~ ART
All l~nown solutions are mainly based on principle of fLYcd connection between the snowboarder and snowboard, which means that when the snowboarder falls down, he will not be separated from the board. Bindings are divided into two known categories: soft and hard type, where only the hard ones have couple models with insuf~lcient ability of releasing at the moment of fall. So, all circumstances are reduced to fixed bindings use, which have no release characteristics, meaning that there is great risk fior snowboarders to hurt their legs.

4) IlWENTION ESSENCE EXPLICATION
Primarily, the goal of this invention is to enable safe binding to snowboarders, allowing maximunn protection and reduction to the minimum of risk factors.
The second aim is to put in use longer snowboards, which has been almost impossible so far, due to fixed attachment to the board, and extremely high ~ risk of accidents The next aim is to endure such binding which will be able to release the foot only in critical moment of overloading or fall, but at the same time to achieve compact and solid attachment to the board.
Further aims and advantages of this invention will be partly reviewed in the following description and partly through invention use. Releasable snowboard binding includes tWQ main complexes of elements: lower complex attached with screws to the board, which intrudes with its ring-shaped parts into the upper complex, achieving mechanical connection wi~h the same, then the upper complex having the boot attached over its top, encircling partly the lower complex. Elements of the upper complex as well as the lower one are fastened together by welding joints where maximum stiffness is achieved, then screw joints which allow several regulations and adjustments. The essence of the invention is mechanical joint which disconnects, releases, at overloaded force and establishes again by simple pressing the upper complex over the top of the ring-shaped parts of the lower complex.

INVENTION PElRFORMANCES
Introduction into detailed performance of this invention is presented here below, along with an example illustrated on attached drawings.
Referring to Fig. 1 it can be seen that releasable snowboard binding includes two main complexes, I and 2, which have all other functionalk indispensable elements attached. Lower complex 1, includes attaching plate 1.1 with screw .
holes and lower ring 1.2 welded to the plate. Friction ring 1.3 and upper ring 1.4 with four concave recesses set at 90 degrees distance in the horizontal plane, all fastened together with screw 1.5 to the lower ring, all shown on the Fig. 3. Upper complex 2, visible on Fig. 2, encircles its central ring 2.1 the lower complex, is made from two tubular elements 2.3, two tubular elements 2.4 and the frame from four identical elements 2.2. All tabular elements are set at 90 degrees distance in horizontal plane, precisely opposite to concave recesses in the element 1.4 of lower complex. Tubular elements contain inside alI indispensable parts to achieve direct mechanical connectivn of upper and lower complex, beginning with pressing bolt 8, which precisely fits into the recess in element 1.4, then spring ~, tense display 18 and tense screw, all visible on Fig. 10. In two longer tubular elements 2.3 distant part 25 is placed in-between the spring and tense display. In all b~bular elements 2.3 and 2.4 there is safety ring 20 placed in its groove, just at the outer ends.
Rear boot holder 3 is placed on the upper complex 2, as well as the front boot holder 4 with the buckle 5, all fastened together with screws 7 and nuts 6 in the element regulation slots 2.2. The whole upper complex is leaning with its ends on h~o rubber supports 17, which are fastened to their holders 16. As shown on Fig. 1, 2, 3 and 5, this invention offers technical feasibility making it possible that snowboarder's boot, attached to the upper complex, can be released from the lower complex attached to the board. Boot sole is leaning onto supporting part 2, being restraint in-between the rear boot holder 3 and the buckle 5 on front boot holder. Required length is set up, as show~ on Fig.
1, with screws 6 and rluts 7, pushing along slots. Mechanical connection between upper and lower complex is achieved by elements shown on rlg. 10, placed in tubular elements 2.3 and 2.4 put in Ihe same order, where tightening or loosing of the tense screw 19 is increasing or decreasing releasing force respectively. If connection is displaced in the of fall, or detaching the two complexes, then with very simple vertical pressing of complex 2 over the upper ring 1.4, connection is restituted by dropping pressing bolts into their recesses on the upper ring. ~s shown on Fig. 3, friction ring is placed under the ring 1.4 and tightened with screw 1.5 and achieves solid joint, but at the same time with loosing the crew it allows horizontal twist adjustment in any desirable position.
For production of binding hard plastic is recommended for buckle 5 and distance part 25, hard rubber for rubber support 17 and friction ring 1.3, and inox steel for all the other parts. The length of binding or supporting complex 2 should not exceed 200 mm, while the thickness should be 20 mm .
12) MODE OF II~VENTIOl~ APPLYING
This invention provides maximum snowboarding safety and opens new potentials even in snowboard production: because of safety reasons a most common length of snowboard is 1.4 m to 1.5 m, but never more than 1.7 m.
Now these limits may be moved towards bigger lengths which allow smoother and more stable ride, very alike skiing.
~ Likewise it is possible to attach soft snowboard binding over the top, and reunion advantages of soft binding with ma~imurn safety.
