This invention is directed to a modifiable skateboard comprising: a deck; a first set of mounting slots defined in the bottom of the deck for receiving attachments arranged orthogonally to the long axis of the deck; a second set of mounting slots defined in the bottom of the deck for receiving attachments arranged parallel to the long axis of the deck; a first accessory having a first attachment that is removably received in one of the slots at one end of the deck; and, a second accessory having a second attachment that is removably received in the opposite end of the deck.
Description
- This invention is directed to a skateboard and more particularly to a skateboard that is easily modifiable with interchangeable accessories.
- Skateboards are well known and are believed to have been invented in the 1950s gaining widespread popularity in the 1960s. The components of a typical skateboard include the deck which supports the rider and generally is the main component which other accessories attach. Trucks, which connect to the deck, include an axle for attaching wheels. Wheels of different types are available based on the type of skateboarding that the rider engages in. Bearings allow the wheels to rotate around the axles. Grip tape which is attached to the top surface of the skateboard provides a non-slip surface and significantly increases the friction on the top of the deck. Risers can also be included which elevate the deck off the ground higher than with the trucks alone. Typically, the trucks are screwed into the deck requiring holes and prevent the trucks, and therefore, the wheel positions from being easily changed.
- Traditionally, skateboards contain a forward and rear truck each having an axle and two wheels connected to each truck. Attempts have been made to alter this traditional configuration such as U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,984,328 and 6,428,022 which disclose a two-wheeled skateboard with the wheel aligned in a linear configuration along the center axis of the deck. Further, U.S. Pat. No. 6,270,096 discloses a skateboard with wheels arranged in a linear fashion with each truck having multiple wheels in a linear arrangement.
- Further, attempts have been made to make the wheels removable so that the wheels can be interchanged. United States Patent application 2006/0131826 discloses removable wheels so that the wheels are interchangeable. United States Patent application 2007/0035100 discloses a removable wheel hub, but uses a fixed mount that is screwed into the deck. Similarly, U.S. Pat. No. 5,601,299 allows for two or three wheels to be attached to a mounting rail, however, the mounting rail is affixed to the deck, thereby preventing the position of the wheels to be easily modified.
- Since the Ollie was invented around 1978, riders have been trying to find ways to customize skateboards and begin using these items as articles of expression. For example. U.S. Pat. No. 4,159,121 discloses hand or foot holds that can be attached to the deck using screws. U.S. Pat. No. 7,118,117 is directed to a tension strap that attaches to the deck and a belt worn by the user so that the skateboard is held to the feet of the user for performing tricks. U.S. Pat. No. 4,896,893 discloses runners attached where wheels would normally be, so that the skateboard is adapted to be used on an ice surface. United States Patent Application 2010/0276912 discloses a “leash” that is an aftermarket accessory that wraps around a skateboard and allows the rider to pull the leash to keep the skateboard on the feet of the rider during stunts such as jumping and Ollie's. U.S. Pat. No. 4,055,234 discloses a brake system that can be used with a skateboard. U.S. Pat. No. 4,289,325 discloses a forward extension unit that is held in the hand of the rider, connects to the front of a skateboard and allows the rider to enhance the control of the skateboard when riding. U.S. Pat. No. 5,020,827 discloses a bridle that the rider pulls when jumping so that the skateboard can be held securely to the rider's feet even when airborne.
- Other examples of accessories for skateboards have been attempted such as United States Patent application 2003/0075890 which includes metal plates attached to the deck so that when in cooperation with magnets imbedded in the rider's shoes, they enhance the ability of the rider to keep the skateboard in contact with his or her shoes when jumping or performing other airborne maneuvers. U.S. Pat. No. 5,769,438 discloses a skateboard with magnets on the top of the deck and in the rider's shoes so that the rider can more easily secure the skateboard to his shoes when riding.
- It is an object of this invention to provide a skateboard accessory system that provides for easy modifications to the deck of a skateboard for interchangeable trucks and wheels in many configurations.
- The objectives of this invention are accomplished by providing a system for providing a modifiable skateboard comprising: a deck; a plurality of mounting slots defined in the bottom of the deck for receiving attachments; a plurality of detent indentions defined in the mounting slots operatively associated with attachments, thereby securing accessories to the underside of the deck; an accessory having an attachment member that can be received in the mounting slot accessories to be attached to and arranged in multiple configurations to the deck. The invention can also include accessories selected from the group of trucks with wheels, single wheels, ice blade, pivots and the like. The invention can include an opening defined in the deck for receiving a wheel; and, a wheel carried by the mounting rails so that a portion of the wheel protrudes above the deck and a portion of the wheel protrudes below the deck.
- The invention can also include a recess refined in the top of the deck; a tether attached to the deck at a point within the recess; a handle attached to the tether that can be received by the recess when the handle is not in use and can be extended to the length of the tether when the rider wishes to use the handle to perform tricks.
- The invention can also include a magnetic plate carried by the top of the deck; a shoe for being worn by a rider that includes a ferrous metal carried by the soles of the shoes that, when in contact with the magnetic plate, secures the shoes to the deck. The soles of the shoes can also include ferrous material integrated into the material of the sole integrated at the time of manufacturing such as metal filings added to the polymer used to manufacture the shoe. The magnet can be an electromagnet in electronic communication with a controller and actuation button so that when the actuation button is depressed, the electromagnet energizes securing the shoes to the deck. In one embodiment, the activation button is in wireless communications with the controller.
- The invention can also include a clip attached to the top of the deck; an opening defined in a rider's shoe that is operably arranged to receive the clip when the shoe slides against the clip securing the shoe to the deck.
- Further, the invention can include a first material having a higher rigidity than a second area wherein the first area is located at the joint between a flat portion of the deck and an upward angled portion of the deck creating a flexing area.
