Abstract
A grind rail and transport kit provides a conveniently portable and durable grind rail. In use, the grind rail has stands that support a grind beam, thereby providing a stable riding surface. The assembled grind rail is of sufficient height, length, and stability to provide a safe and stable riding experience. To facilitate portability, the grind rail disassembles into rail pieces and stand pieces. The rail pieces and stand pieces cooperate to form a stable transportable assembly. The transportable assembly is about one-half the length of the grind rail, and is about as wide as the grind beam.
Claims26
A transport assembly for constructing a grind rail, comprising:
- a first rail piece having a first riser for accepting a first stand;
- a second rail piece having a second riser for accepting a second stand;
- and
- a nub on the first rail piece cooperating with the second riser to detachably couple the first rail piece to the second rail piece.
A method of preparing a grind rail for transport, the grind rail having a grind beam and stands, comprising:
- disassembling the grind rail into a first rail piece and a second rail piece;
- arranging the first rail piece and the second rail piece into a transport assembly, the transport assembly being about half the length of the grind beam;
- arranging the stands in the transport assembly, the transport assembly being about the width of the grind beam;
- and
- coupling the first rail piece to the second rail piece to secure the transport assembly.
A grind rail kit, comprising:
- a first stand and a second stand;
- a first rail piece having a riser for receiving the first stand;
- a second rail piece having a riser for receiving the second stand;
- at least one of the rail pieces having a riser-receiving member configured to detachably couple the first rail piece to the second rail piece;
- and
- at least one of the rail pieces having a stand-receiving member configured to retain at least one of the stands.
A grind rail assembly, including:
- a first rail piece and a second rail piece;
- a first stand and a second stand;
- a connector piece for coupling the first rail piece to the second rail piece;
- wherein the grind rail is constructed to be disassembled and secured into a transport kit, the transport kit having a length of about one-half the length of the grind rail.
A grind rail transport assembly, including:
- a first rail piece and a second rail piece;
- a first stand and a second stand;
- a frame formed by detachably coupling the first rail piece to the second rail piece;
- and
- wherein the stands fit within the perimeter of the frame.
