CA 2148759

A snowshoe includes a perimeter frame carrying sheet- type floatation and having a hinge rod secured transversely of the frame by hinge rod straps. A foot plate is pivotally mounted on the hinge rod and supports a binding to attach the snowshoe to a user's shoe or the like. A bearing sleeve is disposed between the hinge rod and a retainer plate secured to the underside of the foot plate. The hinge rod, bearing sleeve, retainer plate, and hinge rod straps, act independently or cooperatively to vary the frictional resistance to relative rotation between the foot plate and hinge rod, and thereby provide a shock absorber effect. Various features enable variation of the shock absorbing characteristics to accommodate different uses of the snowshoe and different characteristics of the user. Other features provide improved discharge of snow which accumulates on the snowshoe, and improved retention of the user's boot longitudinally within the binding.
