Skateboard

A skateboard having a longitudinal axis and comprising, a support member having a top support surface and a bottom surface, a pair of projections fixed to and extending from said member beneath said bottom surface, a pair of wheel assemblies each fastened to an associated projection, and fastening means for fastening each of said wheel assemblies to an associated projection with each fastening means being disposed entirely beneath said bottom surface and comprising means allowing resilient pivoting movements of its wheel assembly in a controlled manner for improved turning of said skateboard, each of said fastening means in each projection comprising an elongate slot extending transversely through its associated projection, said elongate slots being inclined in opposed directions, each of said slots being defined by a pair of spaced planar surfaces adjoined at opposite ends thereof by interconnecting surfaces, each of said wheel assemblies comprising an axle having a central portion provided with a cooperating surface which engages an associated planar surface of its projection, said associated planar surface engaging said cooperating surface holding the axle against rotation relative to its projection, said fastening means further comprising a pair of resilient elastomeric strips disposed on opposite sides of its axle confining its axle within its elongate slot, each strip having portions thereof compressed during turning of the skateboard with the compressed portions serving to restore the associated axle to its original position after turning.
