Folding concealable skateboard

摘要

A skateboard can transform into a handheld case that obstructs the view of the wheel and truck assemblies. Once transformed, the wheel assemblies are located in an interior of the case. The skateboard has a multi-part platform, more than one wheel assembly and a handle for use in the transformed configuration.

主权项

1. A folding skateboard having concealable wheels, the skateboard being for use by a human and comprising:
a first platform comprising a first wheel and defining a first surface adapted to receive at least a portion of a foot of the human; a second platform disposed along a longitudinal axis shared with the first platform, comprising at least one second wheel and defining a second surface adapted to receive at least a portion of another foot of the human; a first hinge having a pivot axis substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, the first platform being hingedly coupled to the second platform by the first hinge; a first skirt attached to the first platform such that, at least in one skirt mode, the first skirt extends from the first platform, in a direction, relative to the first platform, opposite to the first surface, a distance at least equal to a radius of the at least one first wheel; and a second skirt attached to the second platform such that, at least in one skirt mode, second skirt extends from the second platform, in a direction, relative to the second platform, opposite to the second surface, a distance at least equal to a radius of the at least one second wheel, such that in a first folding mode, the first and second skirts collectively substantially obscure the first and second wheels from a point of view external to the folding skateboard.
