Abstract
An improved skateboard having laminations which are respectively selected from at least two or more materials, one material being wood and the other material being non-wood. Lamination of the two or more materials consisting of wood and non-wood plys positioned in proportionate lengths and order, combines to structurally enhance the completed lamination. The difference in physical properties between the wood and non-wood plys and the placement thereof yields a laminated skateboard with greater resilience, strength and elasticity than previous wood and/or non-wood constructions.
Claims8
A skateboard comprising a plurality of stacked wood and non-wood laminate layers, said skateboard having a center axis with said non-wood laminate layers being centered over said center axis and being stacked according to their lengths from longest to shortest, the length of each said non-wood laminate layer being determined by the formula:
- 1/n×L wherein “n” is the number of the specific non-wood laminate layer in the stack of non-wood laminate layers beginning with the lowest non-wood laminate layer, and “L” is the overall length of said skateboard.
A skateboard comprising a plurality of stacked wood and non-wood laminate layers, said skateboard having a center axis with said non-wood laminate layers being centered over a truck axis and being stacked according to their lengths from longest to shortest, the length of each said non-wood laminate layer being determined by the formula:
- ½(n)×L wherein “n” is the number of the specific non-wood laminate layer in the stack of non-wood laminate layers beginning with the lowest non-wood laminate layer, and “L” is the overall length of said skateboard.
