Abstract
A skateboard truck assembly comprising a base plate, a hanger, and at least one compressible member interposed there between that utilizes rotation of the hanger to at least partially and temporarily deform the compressible member, thereby creating zones of tension and/or compression within the compressible member and facilitating smooth and efficient motion of the skateboard.
Claims20
A truck assembly comprising:
- a base plate comprising:
- a mounting plate, and
- an angled hanger coupling member extending from the base plate and comprising at least one base plate protrusion extending outwardly from the angled hanger coupling member;
- a hanger comprising:
- a first surface and a second surface, wherein at least the first surface is configured to face the angled hanger coupling member of the base plate, and
- at least one hanger protrusion extending outwardly from the first surface of the hanger;
- at least one base plate spacer adjacent to the angled hanger coupling member;
- and
- at least one hanger spacer adjacent to the first surface of the hanger;
- wherein the at least one base plate protrusion and the at least one hanger protrusion are configured to engage at least one compressible member such that a first gap is formed between the at least one compressible member and the angled hanger coupling member by the at least one base plate spacer, and such that a second gap is formed between the at least one compressible member and the first surface of the hanger by the at least one hanger spacer.

A hanger comprising:
- a first surface and a second surface, wherein at least the first surface is configured to face an angled hanger coupling member of a base plate;
- and
- at least one hanger protrusion extending outwardly from the first surface of the hanger, wherein the at least one hanger protrusion is configured to fully penetrate a width of at least one compressible member that is spaced apart from the first surface of the hanger by at least one hanger spacer, such that a gap is created between the at least one compressible member and the first surface of the hanger.
A base plate comprising:
- a mounting plate;
- and
- an angled hanger coupling member extending from the base plate and comprising at least one base plate protrusion extending outwardly from the angled hanger coupling member, wherein the at least one base plate protrusion is configured to penetrate at least half of a width of at least one compressible member that is spaced apart from the angled hanger coupling member by at least one base plate spacer, such that a gap is created between the at least one compressible member and the angled hanger coupling member.
