Abstract

A skateboard-deck wall hanger includes a base that has a central portion and a plurality of legs connected to and extending away from the central portion. Each leg of the plurality of legs is oriented to extend toward a wall when the base is mounted on the wall. The skateboard-deck wall hanger also includes four posts to be inserted into four respective holes on a skateboard deck. The four posts extend outward from the base and have a spacing that corresponds to a spacing of the four holes. The four posts are oriented to extend away from the wall when the base is mounted on the wall.

Claims (44)

1. A skateboard-deck wall hanger, comprising:

a base comprising:

a central portion, and

a plurality of legs connected to and extending away from the central portion, wherein each leg of the plurality of legs is oriented to extend toward a wall when the base is mounted on the wall; and

four posts to be inserted into four respective holes on a skateboard deck, the four posts extending outward from the base and having a spacing corresponding to a spacing of the four holes, wherein the four posts are oriented to extend away from the wall when the base is mounted on the wall.

2. The skateboard-deck wall hanger of claim 1 , wherein the central portion and the plurality of legs are integrally connected as a single piece.

3. The skateboard-deck wall hanger of claim 1 , wherein the central portion and the four posts are integrally connected as a single piece.

4. The skateboard-deck wall hanger of claim 1 , wherein the central portion, the plurality of legs, and the four posts are integrally connected as a single piece.

5. The skateboard-deck wall hanger of claim 1 , wherein the four posts extend outward from an outer surface of the central portion of the base, wherein the outer surface is oriented to face away from the wall when the base is mounted on the wall.

6. The skateboard-deck wall hanger of claim 1 , wherein the four posts are insertable through the four holes on the skateboard deck.

7. The skateboard-deck wall hanger of claim 6 , wherein each post of the four posts forks into a plurality of extensions at a distal end, the plurality of extensions forming a spring and being jointly insertable through a respective hole of the four holes on the skateboard deck.

8. The skateboard-deck wall hanger of claim 7 , wherein each post of the four posts forks into two extensions at the distal end.

9. The skateboard-deck wall hanger of claim 7 , wherein:

the plurality of extensions comprises a first extension and a second extension; and

the first extension of each post of the four posts comprises a hook at a distal end, the hook being insertable through a respective hole of the four holes on the skateboard deck.

10. The skateboard-deck wall hanger of claim 6 , wherein each post of the four posts comprises a hook at a distal end, the hook being insertable through a respective hole of the four holes on the skateboard deck.

11. The skateboard-deck wall hanger of claim 1 , wherein the central portion has a domed shape.

12. The skateboard-deck wall hanger of claim 1 , wherein the central portion has an aperture.

13. The skateboard-deck wall hanger of claim 12 , wherein:

the central portion comprises four leaves extending into the aperture; and

the aperture comprises a central opening and four recesses extending from the central opening, wherein each recess of the four recesses is situated between two respective leaves of the four leaves.

14. The skateboard-deck wall hanger of claim 13 , wherein the four recesses extend radially from the central opening.

15. The skateboard-deck wall hanger of claim 13 , wherein:

the center of the aperture is substantially coincident with the center of the central portion;

the four leaves are substantially evenly radially distributed about the center of the aperture; and

the four recesses are substantially evenly radially distributed about the center of the aperture.

16. The skateboard-deck wall hanger of claim 12 , wherein the central portion along with the aperture has a domed shape.

17. The skateboard-deck wall hanger of claim 1 , wherein a distal end of each leg of the plurality of legs has an opening to mount the base on the wall.

18. The skateboard-deck wall hanger of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of legs comprises at least three legs.
