Skateboard wheel system

Abstract

A skateboard wheel system for providing a skateboard wheel rim that can be uniquely designed while permitting easy replacement of worn wheels. The skateboard wheel system includes a rim member, manufactured in a plurality of designs and appearances, with a bearing pressed into both a first end and a second end and wheel member pressed about the rim member retained by a ring member. The rim member is comprised of an aperture for mounting the skateboard wheel system to the truck of the skateboard, a flange element located towards the first end for retaining the wheel member and a first threads towards the second end for retaining the ring member. The wheel member has a rib integrated to an interior surface for retaining it to the rim member. The ring member includes a plurality of tool apertures to be utilized while assembling the ring member to the rim member.

       5 . The skateboard wheel system of  claim 4 , wherein said rim member includes a bearing pressed within said bore located at said first end and a bearing pressed within said bore at said second end.  
   
   
       6 . The skateboard wheel system of  claim 1 , wherein said wheel member includes a rib extending around an interior surface.  
   
   
       7 . The skateboard wheel system of  claim 6 , wherein said rib is retained by said flange element on said rim member.  
   
   
       8 . The skateboard wheel system of  claim 1 , wherein said wheel member is comprised of a urethane mixture.  
   
   
       9 . The skateboard wheel system of  claim 1 , wherein said ring member includes a pair of tool apertures extending into said ring member and second threads extending through said ring member on a inside surface.  
   
   
       10 . The skateboard wheel system of  claim 1 , includes a tool member that is insertable within said tool apertures, wherein said tool member is utilized for attaching said ring member to said rim member.  
   
   
       11 . A skateboard wheel system, comprising: 
 a rim member having a first end and a second end, wherein said rim member attaches to a axle of a skateboard;    a wheel member positioned around said rim member;    a ring member attached at said second end of said rim member, wherein said ring member retains said wheel member; and    a tool member utilized for attaching said ring member to said rim member.    
   
   
       12 . The skateboard wheel system of  claim 11 , wherein said rim member includes a flange element extending around said rim member at said first end and first threads extending around said rim member at said second end.  
   
   
       13 . The skateboard wheel system of  claim 11 , wherein said rim member includes an aperture extending substantially straight from said first end through said second end.  
   
   
       14 . The skateboard wheel system of  claim 13 , wherein said rim member includes a bore extending substantially concentric to said aperture from said first end towards said second end and a bore extending substantially concentric to said aperture from said second end towards said first end.  
   
   
       15 . The skateboard wheel system of  claim 14 , wherein said rim member includes a bearing pressed within said bore located at said first end and a bearing pressed within said bore at said second end.  
   
   
       16 . The skateboard wheel system of  claim 11 , wherein said wheel member includes a rib extending around an interior surface.  
   
   
       17 . The skateboard wheel system of  claim 16 , wherein said rib is retained by said flange element on said rim member.  
   
   
       18 . The skateboard wheel system of  claim 11 , wherein said wheel member is comprised of a urethane mixture.  
   
   
       19 . The skateboard wheel system of  claim 11 , wherein said ring member includes a pair of tool apertures extending into said ring member and second threads extending through said ring member on a inside surface.  
   
   
       20 . A skateboard wheel system, comprising: 
 a rim member having a first end and a second end, wherein a flange element is located near said first end and a first threads is located near said second end, wherein an aperture extends substantially straight from a said first end through said second end, wherein a bore extends substantially concentric to said aperture from said first end towards said second end, wherein a bore extends substantially concentric to said aperture from said second end towards said first end, and wherein a bearing is pressed within each of said bores;    a wheel member comprised of a urethane mixture has a rib extending around an interior surface, wherein said wheel member is positioned around said rim member, and wherein said rib is retained by said flange element on said rim member;    a ring member including a pair of tool apertures extending into said ring member and second threads extending through said ring member on a inside surface, wherein said ring member retains said wheel member; and    a tool member insertable into said tool apertures for attaching said ring member to said rim member.
