Abstract

A skateboard rail which is composed of a plurality of members which are to be connected together in an end-to-end relationship. The members are capable of being pivoted relative to each other. The members are capable of being stacked vertically and also are connectable together side-by-side to form an expanded horizontal rail.

Claims (38)

1. A skateboard rail comprising:

a plurality of members which are connected together by connecting means in an end-to-end relationship where each member of said members is elongated having a longitudinal axis;

each member has a top surface and a bottom surface which is connected together by sides forming a general polygonal configuration in transverse cross-section; and

said top surface including an elongated shallow channel, said elongated shallow channel adapted to engage with a leg of a separate table which is to be mounted within said channel.

2. A skateboard rail comprising:

a plurality of members which are connected together by connecting means in an end-to-end relationship where each member of said members is elongated having a longitudinal axis;

each member has a top surface and a bottom surface which is connected together by sides forming a general polygonal configuration in transverse cross-section; and

said bottom surface having an elongated deep cavity that permits insertion of a said top surface of another said channel in an interlocked relationship forming a stack of said members.

3. The skateboard rail as defined in claim 2 wherein:

with said members in said stack said members being longitudinally locked together by a plurality of protrusions that engage with a plurality of grooves which prevent longitudinal relative movement between said members.

4. A skateboard rail segment comprising:

an elongated member having a top surface and a bottom surface which are connected together by opposing sides, said elongated member terminating in a pair of ends defined as a front end and a rear end, said front end having a first connecting means, said rear end having a second connecting means;

whereby said bottom surface of said elongated member is to be placed on a supporting surface so a skateboarder can hop onto said elongated member and slide by the skateboard along said top surface; and

said top surface having an elongated shallow channel, said elongated shallow channel adapted to engage with a leg of a separate table which is to be mounted within said channel.

5. The skateboard rail segment as defined in claim 4 wherein:

said elongated shallow channel having a first engagement means, said elongated deep cavity having a second engagement means, said second engagement means of one said elongated member being capable of connecting with a first engagement means of another said elongated member.

6. The skateboard rail segment as defined in claim 5 wherein:

said first engagement means comprising a plurality of spaced apart cavities.

7. The skateboard rail segment as defined in claim 6 wherein:

said second engagement means comprising a plurality of spaced apart projections which are adapted to interlock with said cavities.

8. A skateboard rail segment comprising:

an elongated member having a top surface and a bottom surface which are connected together by opposing sides, said elongated member terminating in a pair of ends defined as a front end and a rear end, said front end having a first connecting means, said rear end having a second connecting means;

whereby said bottom surface of said elongated member is to be placed on a supporting surface so a skateboarder can hop onto said elongated member and slide by the skateboard along said top surface; and

said bottom surface having an elongated deep cavity, said elongated deep cavity adapted to interlock with a top surface of another said member thereby forming a stack of members.

9. A skateboard rail segment comprising:

an elongated member having a top surface and a bottom surface which are connected together by opposing sides, said elongated member terminating in a pair of ends defined as a front end and a rear end, said front end having a first connecting means, said rear end having a second connecting means;

whereby said bottom surface of said elongated member is to be placed on a supporting surface so a skateboarder can hop onto said elongated member and slide by the skateboard along said top surface; and

said bottom surface being wider than said top surface.

10. A skateboard rail segment comprising:

an elongated member having a top surface and a bottom surface which are connected together by opposing sides, said elongated member terminating in a pair of ends defined as a front end and a rear end, said front end having a first connecting means, said rear end having a second connecting means;

whereby said bottom surface of said elongated member is to be placed on a supporting surface so a skateboarder can hop onto said elongated member and slide by the skateboard alone said top surface; and

a protective cover attachable onto said elongated member covering said top surface, whereby said protective cover to provide a replaceable wearing surface that will prevent wear from occurring on said top surface of said elongated member.

11. The skateboard rail segment as defined in claim 10 wherein:

said protective cover including a coping bump located at each side of said cover.

12. A skateboard rail segment comprising:

an elongated member having a top surface and a bottom surface which are connected together by opposing sides, said elongated member terminating in a pair of ends defined as a front end and a rear end, said front end having a first connecting means, said rear end having a second connecting means;

whereby said bottom surface of said elongated member is to be placed on a supporting surface so a skateboarder can hop onto said elongated member and slide by the skateboard along said top surface; and

said bottom surface including a series of sawteeth to provide a roughened surface tending to prevent slippage of said elongated member when placed on a supporting surface.
