This system may be utilized on new or existing decks to achieve personalized sizing and performance characteristics for a skateboard rider.
Claims15
A truck mounting system for mounting a wheel truck to a deck comprising a base unit, at least one adjustable sliding member and a locking device;
- said base unit having a first end, a second end and a middle section, and further including a lengthwise channel commencing proximate the first end and extending toward the second end, with a set of indentations formed in the bottom of the said channel and aligned with the long axis of the channel, and the base unit further including lengthwise recesses;
- said adjustable sliding member comprising a flat surface with two upwardly facing perpendicular sides and inward facing lip surfaces whereby each of the said lip surfaces is slidably engaged into the recesses of the base unit and said flat surface further including a slot and an upward extending stopper adjacent to the slot;
- said locking device consisting of a flat surface with an upwardly extending tongue, the flat surface biased against the sliding member so as to apply pressure to the locking device to forcibly engage the tongue of the locking device into one of the indentations in the channel of the base unit.

- and said flat surface further including a slot and an upward extending stopper adjacent to the slot;
- said locking device consisting of a upper plate having a downwardly angled first end and a second end, with an upward facing tongue proximate to the first end and an opening proximate to second end whereby the opening fits over the sliding member stopper protuberance to secure the locking device to the sliding member, and further including a spring plate biased against the upper plate so as to apply pressure to the locking device to forcibly engage the tongue of the locking device into one of the grooves in the channel of the base unit;
- and
- said locking device further including a lever by which the user may engage or disengage the locking device to alternatively lock or reposition the sliding member.
