Benefits of technology

This patent describes a skateboard pole that can be adjusted for riders of different heights and has a non-spark-generating surface. The pole is made up of telescoping shaft members that can be locked into different positions. The pole can be safely dragged behind or alongside the skateboard. The technical effects of this invention include improved control and safety while skating.

Problems solved by technology

Currently, skateboards, roller skates and roller blades have no handheld means to control their speed and maintain balance.
Accordingly, users of skateboards must jump off or drag their foot if they cannot maintain their balance at speeds they cannot control by means of the skateboard.
As it is generally desirable for the user of skateboards, roller skates and roller blades to keep as many wheels on the skating surface, such spark creation can cause accidents.

Embodiment Construction

[0037]Referring now to the drawings, the spark pole of the instant invention is illustrated and generally indicated at 10 in FIGS. 1-12 As will hereinafter be more fully described, the instant spark pole provides a hand-held pole that allows a rider of skateboards, roller skates and roller blades to advance, maneuver, slow and balance their movement along a skating surface, as well as to generate sparks as the rider travels along the skating surface.

[0038]The following detailed description discloses the best currently contemplated mode of carrying out the invention. The description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention.

[0039]Broadly, the present invention provides a spark pole 10. The spark pole 10 may include a handle 12, a shaft 14 and a grinding head 16 having at least one spark stick (or spark-producing body) 18 and a ground tip 20. Preferably, there is a plurality of spark sticks 18 on ...

Abstract

A spark pole is useful for controlling the movement of a rider of a wheeled device over a skating surface, and for generating sparks as the rider moves with respect to the skating surface. The spark pole has a shaft with a handle at one end and a grinding head at the other end. The grinding head supports at least one spark-producing body that generates sparks when it frictionally engages a skating surface. The grinding head also has a grinding head for frictional engagement with the skating surface to control the rider's movement along the skating surface. The shaft is preferably telescoping and adjustable in length.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is related to and claims priority to earlier filed U.S. provisional patent application 61 / 904,964, filed Nov. 15, 2013, the entire contents thereof is incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to recreational devices and, more particularly, to a pole a user of a skateboard, rollerblade and roller skates can use to maintain balance, to provide thrust, propel, to brake their speed and to create sparks.[0003]Currently, skateboards, roller skates and roller blades have no handheld means to control their speed and maintain balance. Accordingly, users of skateboards must jump off or drag their foot if they cannot maintain their balance at speeds they cannot control by means of the skateboard.[0004]Simultaneously, spark generation is currently a popular addition to skateboards, roller skates and roller blades. However, many of such additions are integrated into the apparatus, ...
