Wheel mount of skateboard and the like

Abstract

A skateboard wheel mount comprises a base, an axle, and a torsion spring. The base is formed of a front plate and a rear plate and is fastened with the underside of a deck of the skateboard such that the front plate and the deck form a predetermined angle. The front plate is provided with a stop piece extending therefrom. The axle is pivoted by a spindle between the front plate and the rear plate and is provided with an urging piece extending therefrom such that the urging piece is located under the stop piece. The torsion spring is fitted over the front segment of the spindle for cushioning the wheel mount and for correcting the direction in which the axle turns.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A skateboard wheel mount comprising: 
 a base fastened with the underside of a deck of the skateboard and formed of a front plate and a rear plate parallel to said front plate, said front plate being provided with a stop piece extending therefrom;    an axle pivoted by a spindle between said front plate and said rear plate, said spindle having one end which extends beyond said front plate, said axle provided with an urging piece extending therefrom such that said urging piece is located under said stop piece, said axle further provided with two wheels mounted thereon; and    a torsion spring fitted over a front segment of said spindle whereby said torsion spring has two load segments for holding said stop piece and said urging piece therebetween.    
     
     
         2 . The skateboard wheel mount as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said axle is provided with two inner threaded portions opposite to each other for mounting said two wheels in conjunction with two bolts whereby said two bolts are engaged with said two inner threaded portions of said axle.  
     
     
         3 . The skateboard wheel mount as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said base is fastened with the underside of the deck of the skateboard in such a manner that said front plate of said base and the deck form an angle ranging between 25 and 65 degrees, preferably, an angle of 60 degrees.  
     
     
         4 . The skateboard wheel mount as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said torsion spring is compressed by said stop piece and said urging piece to become attached to said spindle, so as to confine a rotating range of said axle in relation to said base.
