Continuous or discontinuous steering responses for a lean-to-steer device can be provided by controlling the steering angle of at least one wheel by a steering motor that is operated by a controller. The controller receives signals from a tilt sensor to calculate an appropriate steering angle for the at least one wheel. When a speed sensor is also provided, the controller can calculate a steering angle to match the curve radius of motion to the pendulum angle corresponding to the indicated speed and tilt.

A motorized skateboard has a maneuverable rear truck. The riding platform on which the user stands includes a rotatable steering platform that the rider can step on with his rear foot. In the nominal position the steering platform extends slightly above the rest of the riding platform and is locked from rotating. When a user steps on the steering platform, the steering platform gets pushed downward against a spring. The downward movement causes a wedge to force apart two pawl level arms, thus disengaging respective pawls from a ratchet thereby unlocking the steering. In this position the steering platform is rotationally coupled to the rear truck through two spur gears acting in serial such that as the user pivots his foot clockwise, the rear truck turns counterclockwise, and vice versa. The result is a steering motion that is similar to turning a snowboard.

A skateboard device may include a frame, a set of wheels, and a deck. A user or rider may stand on the deck. The deck may be divided into a front panel and a rear panel, on which the user may rest a front foot and a rear foot, respectively. The rear panel may be fixed relative to the frame. The front panel, in turn, may pivot sideways relative to the frame and, in pivoting sideways, may drive a front wheel fork for rotation in order to steer one or more front wheels of the set of wheels left or right. In some embodiments, the skateboard device may include relatively wide, convex, single front and rear wheels facilitating riding the skateboard device not only on hard, flat surfaces but also on other terrains such as, but not limited to, dirt, gravel, etc.

A suspension for a skateboard, comprising a pair of steering knuckles on opposite sides of a chassis frame of the skateboard, a pair of upper control arms connected between the pair of steering knuckles and the chassis frame, a pair of lower control arms connected between the pair of steering knuckles and the chassis frame, and a first spring damper connected between the pair of upper control arms.

According to an embodiment, a wheeled vehicle is provided, which includes a frame supporting a rear wheel, a rider's deck, and a steering post lying parallel to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle. A front axle is coupled to the frame and configure to rotate about the steering post while remaining perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. Axle stubs are coupled to respective ends of the axle so as to be pivotable relative to the axle, and front wheels are rotatably coupled to the axle stubs. A steering mechanism is configured to permit a rider to steer the vehicle by leaning on the rider's deck.

A plush standing doll having a head and torso joined with arms and hands and legs and feet. Plush standing doll has the ability stand upright without falling over due to the internal frame which supports the doll. Backpack dollhouse is a backpack that converts into a dollhouse play area for plush standing doll, it is made with a detachable pouch that can be used to transport plush standing doll when the whole backpack dollhouse is not needed.

A steering apparatus includes a frame, a linkage, a pivot, a king pin assembly and two castors. The frame includes an extensive portion extending downward from a base plate. The linkage includes two connecting rods, a front hanger and a back hanger. The front hanger is pivotally connected to the connecting rods and includes a screw hole. The back hanger is pivotally connected to the connecting rods and includes an aperture. The pivot includes a smooth section inserted in a bore of the extensive portion and a threaded section inserted in the screw hole. The king pin assembly includes two bushings inserted in two ends of the aperture, two washers inserted in the ends of the aperture, and a king pin inserted in a cavity of the base plate, the aperture, the bushings and the washers, and then engaged with a nut. The castors are connected to the connecting rods.

A multidirectional wheel system, apparatus, and method to control one or more multidirectional wheels to provide multidirectional motion or movement for a movable apparatus, such as a skateboard, roller blades, a car, a motorcycle, a cleaning robot, to which the one or more multidirectional wheels are attached. The multidirectional wheel system includes a braking system to slow and/or stop the movement of the multidirectional wheel(s). At least one of the multidirectional wheels is an omnidirectional wheel, with a plurality of multidirectional wheels acting thereon to control movement thereof. The multidirectional wheel system includes a drone, wherein the omnidirectional wheel operates based on instructions from the drone.

The present invention relates to a novel skateboard truck. More particularly, the present invention pertains to skateboard truck with two independently adjustable pivot points that achieve a unique variable turning motion without affecting the skateboard's stability. Additionally, the skateboard truck includes an offset axle that swings towards the direction of the turn, thus shifting the wheels away from the side of the skateboard, eliminating wheel bite, and increasing stability.

A skateboard axle assembly is described, having a connection plate for mounting the axle assembly to a skateboard deck and a wheel axle. The wheel axle has two ends, to each of which a wheel can be mounted. The wheel axle is movably coupled to the connection plate by two articulated arms. In addition, a skateboard having at least one skateboard axle assembly is described.
