Skateboard systems and methods

A skateboard system includes a first suspension member having first through third portions, each portion having a largest flat planar surface. The first portion includes a plurality of mount holes to mount it with a skateboard deck. The largest flat planar surface of the second portion is angled between fifteen and sixty degrees relative to the largest flat planar surface of the first portion and relative to the deck. The largest flat planar surface of the third portion is angled between fifteen and eighty degrees relative to the largest flat planar surface of the second portion. The third portion includes at least one opening to mount a truck assembly and/or a hanger with the third portion. The first suspension member flexes, such that an angle between the largest flat planar surface of the second portion and the deck decreases, in response to a first downward force on the deck.

Brake Systems for Inline Skates
20220379192 · 2022-12-01 ·

One or more sets of dual brake pads and related assemblies are disposed over and upon one or more wheels of an inline skate. One or more center assemblies are above each brake enabled wheel and center over each wheel. A brake assembly may be secured to a skate boot or to the frame of an inline skate. A brake assembly may attach to a hand control braking system enabling foot free braking. A brake assembly may be attached to one or more center wheels of an inline skate so as to not impede skating maneuvers.

BRAKE UNIT FOR A VEHICLE WHEEL MODULE COMPRISING THE BRAKE UNIT, AND VEHICLE COMPRISING THE BRAKE UNIT AND/OR THE WHEEL MODULE

In human-powered vehicles, e.g., bicycles, etc., it is customary to use drum brakes, disc brakes or shoe brakes. Each of the braking systems has different advantages in terms of braking effect, system costs, ease of maintenance, etc. A brake unit with a modified structure for a vehicle is provided. For this purpose, a brake unit 14 for a vehicle 1 is disclosed, having a housing 15, having a brake body device 23, wherein the brake body device 23 supports a stationary brake partner of a brake apparatus 12 for the vehicle 1, wherein the housing 15 and/or the brake body device 23 defines a main axis H, having an actuator for moving the brake body device relative to the housing 15 in order to generate a braking force, wherein the stationary brake partner is formed as a brake disc 13.

Foot brake structure for mobility device

A foot brake structure for a mobility device includes: a footboard having an upper surface extending in a plane direction and having a rear wheel at a rear thereof; and a friction plate positioned above the rear wheel, having a portion extending forward of the rear wheel and rotatably assembled to a rear end of the footboard by a rotating shaft, and having a lower surface brought into contact with or spaced apart from a surface of the rear wheel depending on whether or not the friction plate is rotated around the rotating shaft, wherein when the friction plate is rotated around the rotating shaft by an external force, the lower surface of the friction plate is brought into contact with the surface of the rear wheel, thereby applying a braking force to the rear wheel.

The subject of the invention is an in-line skate braking system designed to brake in-line skate wheels. This is achieved by an electric motor controlling the action of the brake segment on in-line skate wheels.

BRAKING SYSTEM, AXLE SUPPORT UNIT FOR A VEHICLE, VEHICLE HAVING SUCH AN AXLE SUPPORT UNIT AND DRIVE UNIT

A braking system having a rotating element that rotates about an axis, and a braking device for braking the rotating element. The braking device has a first braking element that is movable between a rest position and a braking position and has an annular braking surface which is arranged concentrically with respect to the axis and has a brake disc which is co-rotationally connected to the rotating element and has first and second frictional surfaces. The annular braking surface of the first braking element is arranged at a distance from the brake disc in the rest position, and is in contact with the first frictional surface thereof in the braking position. A second braking element is arranged such that in the braking position the first braking element presses the brake disc against the second braking element such that the second braking element is in contact with the second frictional surface.

Board apparatus with a pivot wheel for traversing inclines
11033800 · 2021-06-15 · ·

A board apparatus that a user can ride and use to traverse inclines is disclosed. The board apparatus comprises an elongated board with a pivot wheel protruding through the board. A user of the board apparatus can stand on the board with feet in front and behind the pivot wheel, balancing a substantial portion of their weight on the pivot wheel. By adjusting their weight on the pivot wheel, the user is able to control the board's direction of travel. The board apparatus may further comprise a brake apparatus integrated to the pivot wheel that allows the user to maintain control over their speed as the board apparatus gains momentum going down an incline. The board apparatus may further comprise low friction elements at their front and/or rear ends to assist in maintaining momentum if the front or rear end comes into contact with the ground or an obstacle.
