Wheel mount for a skateboard

Abstract

A wheel mount for a skateboard includes a base plate, a suspension body, a shock absorbing device and an axle. The skateboard has a platform with a top and bottom, and the base plate is adapted to be mounted on the bottom of the platform. The suspension body is mounted on the base plate, and the shock absorbing device is mounted between the base plate and the suspension body. A through hole is laterally defined in and extends through the suspension body. The axle extends through the through hole and is partially received in the suspension body. The axle includes two opposite ends, A wheel is rotatably mounted on each end of the axle. The axle is hollow to promote the strength of the axle.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A wheel mount for a skateboard comprising: 
 a base plate adapted to be mounted on a bottom of a platform of a skateboard;    a suspension body mounted on the base plate and a shock absorbing device mounted between the base plate and the suspension body, the suspension body including: 
 a through hole laterally defined in and extending through the suspension body, the through hole of the suspension body including two opposite ends each having a series of teeth extending from an inner periphery of the through hole in the suspension body; and  
 at least one bore defined in the suspension body and communicating with the through hole in the suspension body;  
   a hollow axle extending through the suspension body and partially received in the suspension body, the hollow axle including: 
 two series of teeth extending from an outer periphery of the hollow axle and corresponding to the two series of teeth extending from the periphery of the through hole in the suspension body to prevent the hollow axle from rotating in the suspension body; and  
 a through hole defined in the hollow axle and aligning with each at least one bore in the suspension body; and  
   a pin securely inserted into each at least one bore in the suspension body and the aligning through hole in the hollow axle to prevent the hollow axle from moving laterally.    
     
     
         2 . The wheel mount for a skateboard as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the shock absorbing device is a resilient pad.  
     
     
         3 . The wheel mount for a skateboard as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the pin is a spring pin.
