Deflector for a skateboard

摘要

A deflector for a skateboard generally comprises; a sweep plate to deflect in-path debris from the skateboard's line of travel and a sweep plate suspension, which is coupled to the sweep plate and to the skateboard. The sweep plate suspension provides to substantially maintain a sweep plate's position proximate to a ground in response to maneuverings of the skateboard. The sweep plate suspension may further comprise a spring to provide for a flexing of the sweep plate in response to the maneuverings so as to maintain the sweep plate's proximate position. The sweep plate suspension may couple to a truck or a platform of the skateboard, and may also comprise an adjustment mechanism to set the sweep plate's position. The sweep plate may be releasable from the sweep plate suspension, and at least one of the sweep plate and the sweep plate suspension may comprise lights.

主权项

1. A method for manufacturing a system to clear in-path debris for a traveling skateboard comprising:
providing a sweep plate to deflect the in-path debris from the skateboard's line of travel; providing a sweep plate suspension; coupling the sweep plate suspension to the skateboard; and coupling the sweep plate to the sweep plate suspension, wherein the sweep plate suspension, comprising a sweep plate spring, provides to substantially maintain a sweep plate's position proximate to a ground in response to at least one of a pre-set height or a force from the ground upon the sweep elate so as to cause the sweep plate to flex.
