Skateboard Wall Mount Hanger With Telescoping Posts
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing skateboard wall mounting devices fail to accommodate all skateboards without damaging them, as they do not fit standard holes of varying diameters, and cannot display both bare decks and assembled skateboards with wheels facing forward.
Innovation Solution
A skateboard wall mounting device with posts of a specific and continuous diameter, combined with removable domed security nuts, allowing for secure and damage-free mounting of all skateboards, including both bare decks and assembled skateboards with trucks and wheels, while providing rotational adjustment and anti-theft features.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If existing skateboard wall hangers use fixed-diameter posts, then they can mount some skateboards, but they cannot accommodate all skateboards with varying hole diameters without drilling larger holes that permanently damage the skateboard
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a telescoping post mechanism that allows the post diameter to be adjusted dynamically. The post can extend to larger diameters to fit smaller skateboard holes and retract to smaller diameters to fit larger skateboard holes, thereby adapting to all standard skateboard hole variations without requiring modification to the skateboard itself.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting device transitions from a static fixed-diameter post to a dynamic telescoping post that can change its effective diameter during operation. This dynamic adjustment capability enables the single mounting device to accommodate the full range of skateboard hole diameters encountered across different brands and eras of manufacture.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the mounting device uses a single fixed design, then it has simple construction, but it cannot display both bare decks and assembled skateboards with wheels facing forward
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting device is designed with universal adaptability to handle multiple skateboard configurations. The telescoping posts can be positioned at different heights and angles, and the security nuts can be adjusted to accommodate various wheel and truck arrangements, allowing the same device to display both bare decks and fully assembled skateboards with wheels facing forward.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting device is divided into separable components including telescoping posts, adjustable security nuts, and a mounting base. This segmentation allows each component to be independently adjusted to suit different skateboard types, providing versatility without requiring an entirely different mounting device for each configuration.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the posts are made longer to accommodate assembled skateboards, then they can reach through trucks and wheels, but they become less stable and harder to secure
Solution Approach 1:
The telescoping post mechanism allows the effective length to be dynamically adjusted based on the skateboard configuration. When mounting assembled skateboards, the posts extend only as far as needed to reach through the trucks and wheels, rather than being permanently over-lengthened. This dynamic length adjustment maintains stability by minimizing unnecessary post exposure.
Solution Approach 2:
The post length parameter is made variable through the telescoping mechanism, allowing optimization of the length-to-stability ratio for each specific mounting scenario. This parameter change capability ensures that posts are long enough to accommodate assembled skateboards while remaining short enough to maintain mounting stability.

AI summary
A skateboard wall mounting device for quickly displaying a bare skateboard deck or a completely assembled skateboard with trucks and wheels attached to the deck. The skateboard wall mounting device generally includes a mounting base, a pair of specific and continuous diameter posts extending from the mounting base and aligned with the deck holes of a skateboard. Due to the specific and continuous diameter design of the posts, the device can accommodate the hanging and mounting of all skateboards from different manufacturers and periods of manufacture without incurring modification and damage to the skateboard.
