Abstract
A skateboard device may include a frame, a set of wheels, and a deck. A user or rider may stand on the deck. The deck may be divided into a front panel and a rear panel, on which the user may rest a front foot and a rear foot, respectively. The rear panel may be fixed relative to the frame. The front panel, in turn, may pivot sideways relative to the frame and, in pivoting sideways, may drive a front wheel fork for rotation in order to steer one or more front wheels of the set of wheels left or right. In some embodiments, the skateboard device may include relatively wide, convex, single front and rear wheels facilitating riding the skateboard device not only on hard, flat surfaces but also on other terrains such as, but not limited to, dirt, gravel, etc.
Claims20
A skateboard device, comprising:
- a frame;
- a set of wheels providing rolling mobility to the frame, the set of wheels comprising one or more front wheels and one or more rear wheels;
- a deck, carried by the frame, the deck comprising a front panel and a rear panel configured for the stepping thereon of a front foot and a rear foot of a rider of the skateboard device, wherein the front panel is pivotable relative to the frame about a first rotation axis;
- a first pulley, jointly rotatable with the front panel about the first rotation axis;
- a second pulley, jointly rotatable with the one or more front wheels about a second rotation axis, the second rotation axis having a vertical component such that rotation of the second pulley and one or more front wheels about the second rotation axis turns the one or more front wheels left or right;
- and
- an elongated member looped around the first and second pulleys, the elongated member driven by the first pulley and configured to drive the second pulley for rotation about the second rotation axis.

A skateboard device, comprising:
- a frame, comprising a tubular segment arranged in a front-to-back, longitudinal direction of the skateboard device;
- a set of wheels providing rolling mobility to the frame, the set of wheels comprising one or more front wheels and one or more rear wheels;
- a deck, carried by the frame, the deck comprising a front panel and a rear panel configured for the stepping thereon of a front foot and a rear foot of a rider of the skateboard device, wherein the front panel is pivotably connected to the tubular segment and pivotable relative to the frame about a first rotation axis defined by a central longitudinal axis of the tubular segment, and the rear panel is non-movably secured to the frame;
- a first pulley, jointly rotatable with the front panel about the first rotation axis;
- a second pulley, jointly rotatable with the one or more front wheels about a second rotation axis, the second rotation axis having a vertical component such that rotation of the second pulley and one or more front wheels about the second rotation axis turns the one or more front wheels left or right;
- and
- an elongated member looped around the first and second pulleys, the elongated member driven by the first pulley and configured to drive the second pulley for rotation about the second rotation axis.

A skateboard device, comprising:
- a frame, comprising a tubular segment arranged in a front-to-back, longitudinal direction of the skateboard device;
- a set of wheels providing rolling mobility to the frame, the set of wheels comprising one or more front wheels and one or more rear wheels;
- a deck, carried by the frame, the deck comprising a front panel and a rear panel arranged over the tubular segment and configured for the stepping thereon of a front foot and a rear foot of a rider of the skateboard device, wherein the front panel is pivotably connected to the tubular segment and pivotable relative to the frame about a first rotation axis defined by a central longitudinal axis of the tubular segment, and the rear panel is non-movably secured to the tubular segment;
- a front wheel fork, pivotably connected to the frame about a second rotation axis, the one or more front wheels rotatably attached to the front wheel fork about a front wheel rotation axis;
- a first pulley, jointly rotatable with the front panel about the first rotation axis;
- a second pulley, affixed to the front wheel fork and jointly rotatable with the front wheel fork and the one or more front wheels about the second rotation axis, the second rotation axis having a vertical component such that rotation of the second pulley, front wheel fork and one or more front wheels about the second rotation axis turns the one or more front wheels left or right;
- and
- an elongated member looped around the first and second pulleys, the elongated member driven by the first pulley and configured to drive the second pulley for rotation about the second rotation axis.
