Durability Enhancement for Skateboard Decks

Impact-resistant composite skateboard with improved durability and impact resistance compared to traditional wooden skateboards. The skateboard has a layered structure with a polyurethane friction layer, an impact-resistant mixed fiber composite layer, and a lower accessory layer. The composite layer has a high-strength carbon fiber core sandwiched between aramid/UHMWPE fiber braids. This configuration provides high strength, impact resistance, and delamination prevention. The upper friction layer and lower accessory layer protect the composite core. The composite structure allows better absorption of impacts and prevents cracking compared to wood skateboards.

A method of connecting the top layer and bottom plate of a skateboard during manufacturing. The method involves bonding the outer edge of the top layer to the bottom layer using hot melt adhesive. This joins the top and bottom layers directly at the edges without using screws or other fasteners. The hot melt adhesive provides a strong bond between the layers while allowing some flexibility for vibration dampening. This connection method eliminates the need for screws and provides a seamless transition between the layers for a cleaner, more durable skateboard.

A high-strength skateboard design that prevents breaking and wheel fallout during use. The skateboard has a unique mounting system that distributes forces to prevent failure at the wheel mounting points. The mounting system uses specially shaped holes and limiting plates to align and secure the wheel frame. This configuration disperses forces and prevents concentration of stresses that can cause breaking. The skateboard is made by drilling the board layers with specific hole sizes and shapes, then gluing and pressing them together. The resulting skateboard has strengthened mounting points that resist breaking and wheel fallout during use.

Method for manufacturing high-strength skateboards that avoids board breakage during intense skateboarding maneuvers. The method involves a multi-step process to compress and reinforce the skateboard deck. It starts by laminating multiple layers of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) material into a composite sheet. The composite sheet is then cut into the desired skateboard deck shape. Next, the deck is placed between two steel plates and subjected to high pressure compression. The compression molding process squeezes the deck layers together, bonding them into a solid, high-strength skateboard deck. The resulting composite deck has enhanced strength and durability compared to traditional skateboard decks made from wood or composite materials.
