Abstract
A device for limiting rotation of a wheel, such as a wheel on a skateboard, comprising a physical stop secured against one wheel of the skateboard. Multiple physical locks may be used, each secured against single wheel. The physical stop may comprise a block of resilient material placed in a semi-compressed state into the gap between the skateboard deck and the wheel such that the block exerts pressure on the wheel sufficient to prevent the wheel from freely rotating. Alternately, the physical stop may comprise a holder at least partially surrounding the wheel and at least one protrusion from the holder adjacent a rolling surface of the wheel, where the protrusion is capable of functioning as a chock and substantially preventing the wheel from rolling against a surface.
Claims23
A device for use with a wheeled device comprising a deck and at least one wheel attached to the deck with a gap between the wheel and the deck, the device comprising:
- a physical stop secured against one wheel of the wheeled device, where the physical stop comprises a block of resilient material, where the block is thicker than the gap between the wheel and the deck and is capable of being placed in a semi-compressed or compressed state into the gap such that the block exerts pressure on the wheel sufficient to prevent the wheel from freely rotating, and where the block has at least one surface with a coating having at least one physical characteristic different from that of the block.
A device for use with a wheeled device comprising a deck and at least one wheel attached to the deck with a gap between the wheel and the deck, the device comprising:
- a physical stop secured against one wheel of the wheeled device, where the physical stop comprises a block of resilient material, where the block is thicker than the gap between the wheel and the deck and is capable of being placed in a semi-compressed or compressed state into the gap such that the block exerts pressure on the wheel sufficient to prevent the wheel from freely rotating, and where the wheeled device further comprises a truck attaching the wheel to the deck and where the block further comprises a protrusion extending from the block toward and touching the truck such that the protrusion prevents lateral rotation of the block.
A device for use with a wheeled device comprising a deck and at least one wheel attached to the deck with a gap between the wheel and the deck, the device comprising:
- a physical stop secured against one wheel of the wheeled device;
- a holder at least partially surrounding the wheel;
- and
- at least one protrusion from the holder, where the protrusion is adjacent a rolling surface of the wheel and is capable of functioning as a chock when the protrusion is in contact with a surface upon which the wheel is attempting to roll and where the holder secures the protrusion to the wheel such that the protrusion moves with the wheel.
