ABSTRACT:
A novel skateboard steering mechanism is provided which has both wheel tilting and steering capabilities. The steering mechanism comprises generally a platform, a plunger which is fixedly attached at one end of the bottom face of the platform, top and bottom axles of equal length disposed in parallel aligned space relationship to each other, a pair of wheels, and a steering assembly.
Advantageously, the plunger encases the entire steering assembly and holds it within a set position. The steering assembly comprises upper and lower balls rigidly affixed to the top and bottom axles, respectively, at approximately the mid points thereof, a floating cam disposed between the upper and lower balls, and a wire spring, or similar, biasing the floating cam in a set position.
