Abstract
The binding for a sports apparatus, particularly for a snowboard, ski, monoski, or snowshoe, with rotary closure, has a hub (34) fixed to the sports apparatus, about which hub a binding support plate (19) is rotatingly disposed. The binding support plate (19) is fixable in relation to a hub in the running position, and two binding bodies having holding means for a boot are secured thereto. Connected to the hub fixed to the sports apparatus is at least one element (36) receiving pulling and/or pushing forces, one end of which engages the hub (34, 35), and the other end of which is coupled to a holding device. Upon rotation of the binding support plate (19), the holding device fixes a boot in the binding or releases it as a function of the position relative to the hub through co-operation with the element (36) receiving pulling and/or pushing forces.
