Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0022] The invention will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:

[0023] FIG. 1 is a perspective front view of the lighting system for skateboard of the present invention showing a light emitting device pattern, and shows the general illumination pattern extending from the board; and

[0024] FIG. 2 is a perspective back view of the removable lighting system for skateboard of the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0025] In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention, and it is to be understood that the embodiments may be combined, or that other embodiments may be utilized and that structural, logical and electrical changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0026] FIGS. 1 and 2 is a perspective view of one embodiment of a lighting system for skateboard including, a riding platform having a top riding surface and a bottom surface, a lighting system configured at the bottom to produce light, mounted front and back of the board. In the embodiment of FIG. 1 and 2, the light system is a visible light source that may include, for example, multiple light-emitting diodes (LEDs) connected one after another to form a string. The multiple LEDs may be the same or of different colors. Further, the LEDs may be turned on and off to flash in certain patterns, or sequentially, such that it appears that the light emitted by the LEDs is moving around the board.

[0027] The present lighting system for skateboard is preferably constructed from a lightweight material such as plastic, etc. In the present system, front light should show at least ten feet in front of the board. A flexible or semi-flexible material is preferred in order to mitigate damage from impacts which can happen during normal use of skateboard. The preferred embodiment envisions a lighting system for skateboard which is 3⅞ inches wide and 2½ inches long including the various attachments. The Attachment for like devices are well known in the art and can be accomplished by any suitable method such as a snap-on connectors, screws, etc. Providing for easy removal and replacement of the light allows users to conveniently change the appearance of the skateboard and also prevent it from damage.

[0028] In another embodiment the lighting system further includes an electrical power source. In general, the power source produces electrical power and provides the electrical power to the driver circuit. The power source may be or include, for example, a battery.

[0029] It is to be understood that the above description is intended to be illustrative, and not restrictive. For example, the above-discussed embodiments may be used in combination with each other. Many other embodiments will be apparent to those of skill in the art upon reviewing the above description.

[0030] The benefits and advantages which may be provided by the present invention have been described above with regard to specific embodiments. These benefits and advantages, and any elements or limitations that may cause them to occur or to become more pronounced are not to be construed as critical, required, or essential features of any or all of the embodiments.

[0031] While the present invention has been described with reference to particular embodiments, it should be understood that the embodiments are illustrative and that the scope of the invention is not limited to these embodiments. Many variations, modifications, additions and improvements to the embodiments described above are possible. It is contemplated that these variations, modifications, additions and improvements fall within the scope of the invention.
