Skateboard truck
A truck includes a base plate, a hanger, a kingpin, and a bushing assembly. The base plate includes a coupling portion and a contact portion. The kingpin is disposed within a portion of the hanger to rotatably couple the hanger to the base plate. The bushing assembly includes at least one bushing disposed in a recess of the contact portion and in contact with the hanger. The bushing assembly including a bushing adjustment coupled to at least one of the base plate or the hanger and configured to selectively engage the at least one bushing to transition the bushing assembly between a first configuration in which the at least one bushing exerts a first force in response to rotation of the hanger and a second configuration in which the at least one bushing exerts a second force different from the first force in response to rotation of the hanger.
Skateboard Mount
A quick install skateboard hanging device designed to lower damage to the wall, the skateboard deck, and the graphic design on the skateboard deck. The hanger is configured to allow for small adjustments in any direction to the positioning after the first installation. Hanger device includes a base, a set of pins, and a set of adhesive or hook and loop strips for attaching the base to the wall.
The product has optional install methods of drywall hooks, screws, and drywall anchors. With an oval hole for the screw/screw in drywall anchors in the hanger, the hanger can be adjusted in one direction without having to put another hole in the wall. This feature is especially important when hanging a board horizontal. It allows the horizontally displayed board to be adjusted to be perfectly level.
Variable length skateboard
A human transportation device in the form of a variable length skateboard. The variable length skateboard provides a short embodiment allowing the rider greater handling and stopping ability and a long embodiment providing the rider with increased speed ability. The long and short embodiments can quickly and easily be transitioned between at any time or place by the insertion or extraction of at least one removable center deck section. The deck sections are coupled using thumb screw type fasteners and coupler plates thereby removing a need for tools to make the conversion between embodiments. The variable length skateboard provides its owner with multiple embodiments without having to purchase multiple skateboards.
Electric skateboard with strain-based controls and methods
An electric weight sensing skateboard using one or more strain gauge systems to detect rider-induced strain on one or both trucks, an inertial sensor to detect accelerations and balance position, and wheel speed sensors. Throttle is controlled by rider position, for example, lean forward to increase speed, lean back to slow down. Several drive methods include a driver position detection velocity setpoint control, torque setpoint control, and direct velocity/torque control. A throttle remote is note required. Rider weight activates the motors.
Suspension systems for an electric skateboard
A self-propelled, one-wheeled vehicle may include a suspension system configured to dampen up and down motion of a board relative to the axle of a central wheel assembly when the vehicle encounters obstacles and bumps on a riding surface. Illustrative suspension systems include a shock absorber, a rocker, a pushrod, bell cranks, and/or a swingarm that couple the axle to the board. The suspension system may be disposed completely below a foot deck of the vehicle.
Foldable structure of electric vehicle
A foldable structure of an electric vehicle is disclosed. In the foldable structure, a frame defines a stowing space, and includes a connection base and a rotatable seat. The connection base has a chute and the seat includes a link rod. The wheel part includes two wheel casings, a tire and a driving device, and a containing space is formed between the wheel casings for containing the tire and the driving device. The wheel casings has a rotator cap protruded at tops thereof, and the rotator cap has an axle hole longitudinally cut therethrough, and the rotator cap is pivotally connected with the rotatable seat by the axle hole, whereby the link rod can be slid into the chute, and the two wheel casings and the tire can be laterally rotated into the stowing space, such that the electric vehicle can just occupy smaller space.
Skateboard truck
A truck for a skateboard utilizes spherical balls mounted for rotation beneath the deck of the skateboard such that the balls are freely rotatable in a direction along the longitudinal axis and are less rotatable in a direction transverse to the axis such that the skateboard exhibits behavior expected from a snowboard in snow.
Wheeled riding device
The wheeled riding device employs a frame system mounted to the bottom of the deck, independent suspension links pivotally connect to the wheel assemblies enabling four wheel independent suspensions. A centrally mounted steering and suspension pivot, provides both steering control and suspension attachment for the shock and spring. The device is controlled by the rider using body movement, and a hand held remote when electrically driven. Whether manually or electrically propelled the invention brings improvements in both steering and ride stability while riding over adverse terrain.
Roller skate
An inline frame for an inline skate, designed to mimic the properties of an ice hockey skate blade on ice. The inline frame includes at least one first connection part intended to be connected to a boot and at least two wheels positioned essentially in the inline frame's longitudinal direction. The unique thing about the inline frame is that it includes an upper chassis section and a lower chassis section which via a coupling element are arranged to be rotatable in the inline frame's longitudinal direction, and that the upper chassis section includes at least one first contact surface and that the lower chassis section includes at least one second contact surface, where at least one of the first contact surface and the second contact surface is curvilinear.
Heeling apparatus
Provided is a heeling apparatus. The heeling apparatus includes a sole including a forefoot portion and a heel portion. The heel portion has an opening formed therein. In one embodiment, the sole includes a removable portion. The heeling apparatus further includes a wheel assembly including wheel rotatably mounted to an axle and a mounting structure, wherein the wheel extends through the opening in the heel portion.
