Skateboard truck including a storage space

A skateboard truck, comprising a base plate, an elevated portion extending from said base plate, and an axle attached to said elevated portion, wherein said base plate is defined by a top member and a bottom member attached to one another, wherein said base plate comprises:

• a cavity opening passing through a segment of an outer wall of said base plate;
• an inner cavity extending inward from the cavity opening and bound by a cavity defining surface;
• a plurality of mounting holes formed through said base plate, wherein each mounting hole is located proximate an outer edge of said base plate, wherein a pattern of said mounting holes is arranged to align with mounting apertures of a skateboard deck;
• a release latch access aperture formed perpendicular through said base plate and extending within said inner cavity;
• a drawer latch retention feature integrated into a portion of the cavity defining surface at a location proximate said release latch access aperture;
• a storage drawer including a drawer bottom integrally joined to drawer sidewalls, a drawer end wall, and a drawer front wall defining an item storage compartment volume for retaining a variety of items therein, wherein said item storage compartment volume is oriented toward said axle;
• a resilient latch including one end integrally formed with one of said drawer sidewalls and a flexible end tapering outwards away from said one of said drawer sidewalls;
• and
• wherein said storage drawer is removably insertable through said cavity opening and inserted into said inner cavity such that a front edge of said flexible end of said resilient latch releasably engages said drawer latch retention feature, and wherein said release latch access aperture aligns with said flexible end of said resilient latch when said storage drawer is fully inserted within said inner cavity.

A skateboard truck, comprising a base plate configured to be attached to a skateboard deck, wherein said base plate includes:

• a deck-facing surface configured to be arranged towards a skateboard deck,
• a cavity opening passing through an outer sidewall of said base plate;
• an inner cavity extending inward from the cavity opening and bound by a cavity defining surface;
• a release latch access aperture formed perpendicular through said base plate and extending within said inner cavity;
• a drawer latch retention feature integrated into a portion of the cavity defining surface at a location proximate said release latch access aperture;
• a storage drawer including a drawer bottom integrally joined to drawer sidewalls, a drawer end wall, and a drawer front wall defining an item storage compartment volume for retaining a variety of items therein, wherein said item storage compartment volume is configured to be oriented away from said deck-facing surface;
• a resilient latch including one end integrally formed with one of said drawer sidewalls and a flexible end tapering outwards away from said one of said drawer sidewalls;
• and
• wherein said storage drawer is removably insertable through said cavity opening and into said inner cavity such that a front edge of said flexible end of said resilient latch releasably engages said drawer latch retention feature, and wherein said release latch access aperture aligns with said flexible end of said resilient latch when said storage drawer is fully inserted within said inner cavity.
