Benefits of technology

This patent describes a snowboard made up of multiple deck plates that can be easily replaced if one or more damages occur. This improves convenience and reduces maintenance costs. Additionally, the snowboard allows for easy customization using different deck plates of various shapes and colors. The LED lights on the snowboard are also detachable, which improves safety and makes replacing or color-changing the LED easier.

Problems solved by technology

However, a currently available deck has problems in that, even if only some of deck plates are damaged, the entire deck itself should be replaced with a new deck, which is costly.
Further, a user often purchases a variety of decks to satisfy his / her taste, which is also costly.

embodiment 1

[0045]As shown in FIG. 6, a plasma-producing unit 210 may be disposed in the internal space S of the nose / tail section(s) 200. The plasma-producing unit 210 includes a plasma-producer 211 to produce plasma via the application of high voltage, and an arrester 212 to receive the plasma produced from the plasma-producer 211. Here, the plasma-producing unit 210 has an internal closed space that is vacuumed and then is injected with a small amount of gas. Light emitted from the plasma changes in color depending on the kind of gas injected.

embodiment 2

[0046]As shown in FIG. 7, a light-diffusion unit 220 may be disposed in the internal space S of the nose / tail section(s) 200. The light-diffusion unit 220 includes a plurality of LEDs 221 and a plurality of polygonal reflectors 222. Light emitted from the LEDs 221 arrives at the reflectors 222 and then is diffused and reflected in many directions. As shown in FIG. 7, the reflectors 222 may have, but is not limited to, a hexagonal shape, and the reflectors 222 may be arranged in a regular or irregular pattern.

embodiment 3

[0047]As shown in FIG. 8, a plurality of optical fibers 230 may be disposed in the internal space S of the nose / tail section(s) 200. Light is emitted from the optical fibers via the application of power source. Thus, a user can obtain a desired light-emitting effect by arranging the optical fibers 230 as desired.

[0048]When various kinds of light-emitting means are disposed in the nose / tail section(s) as described above, the internal space near the light-emitting means is preferably surrounded by a transparent material. In addition, the deck body A may be provided with a speaker or the like in order to provide an acoustic effect such as a clap of thunder when light is emitted. Further, the provision of a speed sensor or the like may provide the adjustment of brightness of light or the like depending on the varying speed.

[0049]In the meantime, as shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, the nose / tail section(s) 200 may be provided, on a lower surface thereof, with a protruding rotation hemisphere 24...
