Abstract

A skateboard of the present invention includes at least three board members each of which comprises of a plurality of elongated trough being formed integrally to the underside thereof and a pair of elongated rods which is bent twice and forming three phases adapted to receive the boards to form a skateboard having three planes. The elongated rods have conjunction areas at center portions. Upon the conjunction area is secured one of the three boards. When the conjunction area is detached, two separate skateboards are formed.

Claims

1. A skateboard comprising a pair of frame sections, each frame section including a pair of elongated rods extending parallel to each other along inner and middle portions and diverging along an outer portion to form handgrips, the middle portion forming an obtuse angle with the inner portion of each frame section, means for releasably connecting free ends of the inner portions together to form a single frame assembly, each frame section having a wheel assembly secured to an outer end of the middle portion and a wheel assembly sectored to a junction point of the middle and inner portions, an outer board member secured to the middle portion of each frame section, an inner board member extending above each inner portion when their free ends are interconnected, and means for releasably connecting each of the inner portions to the inner board member.
