  • FIG. 8 is a top planer view of the preferred embodiment, illustrating how the rider stands on the skateboard in order to turn the same to the right. [0016]
    • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
  • Referring to FIGS. [0017] 1 to 4, the preferred embodiment of a skateboard according to the present invention is shown to include a board member 10, a front roller 31, a first axle 21, a rear roller 32, a second axle 22, a pair of left and right intermediate rollers 33,34, a third axle 23, first and second transmission units 50, a power driving unit 40, and a control unit 60.
  • As illustrated, the [0018] board member 10 has opposite top and bottom surfaces 11,12, and front and rear ends 13,14. The bottom surface 12 of the board member 10 is provided with first, second and third brackets 31″,32″,33″. The second bracket 32″ is rotatable about a vertical axis relative to the board member 10.
  • The [0019] front roller 31 is mounted rotatably on the first bracket 31″ through the first axle 21, which extends through the first bracket 31″, and is disposed adjacent to the front end 13 of the board member 10.
  • The [0020] rear roller 32 is mounted rotatably on the second bracket 32″ through the second axle 22, which extends through the second bracket 32″, and is disposed adjacent to the rear end 14 of the board member 10. The rear roller 32 has a diameter less than that of the front roller 31.
  • The left and right [0021] intermediate rollers 33,34 are mounted on the third bracket 33″ through the third axle 23, which extends through the third brackets 33″, and are disposed between the front and rear rollers 31,32. Each of the left and right intermediate rollers 33,34 has a diameter the same as that of the front roller 31.
  • The first and [0022] second transmission units 50 are connected respectively to the left and right intermediate rollers 33,34.
  • The [0023] driving unit 40 is connected to the first and second transmission units 50. Preferably, a power source 43, such as a battery, is electrically connected to the driving unit 40.
  • The [0024] control unit 60 is mounted on the top surface 11 of the board member 10, and is electrically connected to the driving unit 40. The control unit 60 is operable among a first mode, in which the driving unit 40 is activated to drive the left and right intermediate rollers 33,34 through the first and second transmission units 50, a second mode, in which the driving unit 40 is deactivated, a third mode, in which the driving unit 40 is activated to drive one of the left and right intermediate rollers 33,34 through the first transmission unit 50, and a fourth mode, in which the driving unit 40 is activated to drive the other one of the left and right intermediate rollers 33,34 through the second transmission unit 50.
  • In this preferred embodiment, the [0025] driving unit 40 includes first and second driving motors 41,42 that are disposed adjacent to the left and right intermediate rollers 33,34, respectively, and that have first and second output shafts 411,421, respectively. A rotation-controlling switch 70 is mounted on the top surface 11 of the board member 10, and is electrically connected to the driving unit 40 so as to control rotating direction of the first and second output shafts 411,421. Each of the first and second transmission units 50 has a driving gear 51 (52) fixed coaxially to a respective one of the first and second output shafts 411,421, and a driven gear 53 (54) co-axially fixed to a respective one of the left and right intermediate rollers 33,34, and meshed with the driving gear 51 (52).
  • The [0026] control unit 60 preferably includes a first switch 61, a second switch 62 and a third switch 63. The first switch 61 is operable by the rider's foot so as to permit operation of the control unit 60 between the first and second modes. Similarly, the second switch 62 is operable by the rider's foot so as to permit operation of the control unit 60 between the third and second modes. The third switch 63 is operable by the rider's foot so as to permit operation of the control unit 60 between the fourth and second modes. When it is desired to propel the skateboard to move in a straight direction, the first switch 61 is pressed by the rider's right foot, as best shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, so as to dispose the control unit 60 in the first mode. The skateboard can be stopped from moving in the straight direction by simply releasing the first switch 61. When it is desired to make a left turn, the second switch 62 is pressed by the rider's right foot (see FIG. 6) to dispose the control unit 60 in the third mode, and the skateboard is tilted such that the rear roller 32 contacts the ground surface to serve as a pivot for left turning of the skateboard, as best shown in FIG. 5. The leftwise turning can be stopped by simply releasing the second switch 62. When it is desired to make a right turn, the third switch 63 is pressed by the rider's right foot (see FIG. 8) to dispose the control unit 60 in the fourth mode, and the skateboard is tilted such that the rear roller 32 contacts the ground surface to serve as a pivot for right turning of the skateboard, as best shown in FIG. 7. The rightwise turning can be stopped by simply releasing the third switch 63.
  • With the inclusion of the [0027] driving unit 40, the transmission unit 50 and the control unit 60 in the skateboard of the present invention, the aforementioned disadvantage of the prior art can be overcome.
  • With this invention thus explained, it is apparent that numerous modifications and variations can be made without departing from the scope and spirit of this invention. It is therefore intended that the invention be limited only as indicated in the appended claims. [0028]
