Skateboard Safety Brake

Abstract

What is new about this inventions is that it does not use the wheels for any stopping. The nature of the technical disclosure of my invention is that when a person of any weight were to put pressure of the back of a skateboard where are described brake is attached it will slow now and/or stop depending up weight and pressure. It will not get in the way of any skateboard tricks as it is sloped from 0 to 1 inch in height. If one puts all their weight on one foot at the back of the board it will stop and just a few feet regardless of weight of boarder. A Google search shows the US has 11 million skateboards who have an average of two boards. We can retrofit approximately 85% of the existing boards and hopefully save many hospital emergency calls and the average of 4.3 skateboard deaths per year. A google search shows an average 64,500 emergency skateboard visits per year.

Claims

1. The claim invention is that no other brake patented uses only the pressure of the skateboarder who puts pressure as need to the back of the board to stop. Every part and feature is shown in the drawings and discussed herein. This is the only patent application which uses no part of the skateboard wheels for stopping.

2. The invention is the only known skateboard brake located under skateboard at rear using rubber or re-cycled rubber at lower back of skateboard.

3. Every part and feature in every claim is shown in the drawings and discussed in specifications.

Description

(3) BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0008] In FIG. 1 of page 4 shows a typical underside of the majority of skateboards. As you can see on the back of the skateboard our brake will be adhered by a strong glue and/or bolts thru board and brake. Our prototype boards are being help by the glue and it may not be necessary to bolt to brake to board.

[0009] FIG. 2 shows the side view of the skateboard with the brake to be attached to the board. Brake will be attached with a strong industrial glue and/or bolts running through the brake and board.

[0010] FIG. 3 showing brake by itself. Majority of the brakes will be 3 inch wide and 4 inches long. The brake will be 1 inch high and 4 inches long shaped like a pear.

[0011] FIG. 4 showing brake by itself side view. Brake made out of re-cycled tires will be 1 inch high at the back of the board, maintain this height for approximately 1 inches and gradually sloping down to zero at the end of the 4 inch length so it will not interfere with any obstacles the skateboard may encounter.

(4) DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] The invention will be manufactured by a tire re-cycling company where they take old used tires and grind them up into a soft rubber and then will be poured into a mode per our drawings. The skateboard brake differs from other patented brakes as it does not connect in any way with the skateboard wheels. It is 1 inch by 4 inch single rubber mold that attached to the rear of skateboards so that when the skateboarder steps down on the back of the board it connects with the payment and/or ground. The harder the skateboards steps down the faster they will stop.
