Adjustable skateboard ramp

Claim 2

In a ramp for use in conjunction with wheeled sporting devices, the combination of: an elongated ramp member having its lower extremity juxtaposed to a supporting surface and its upper extremity disposed above and in spaced relationship with said supporting surface; a suspensory frame for said ramp member; adjustment means on said frame for adjusting the component portions of said frame with respect to one another; and movable connections between said upper and lower extremities of said ramp member and said frame to permit the raising or lowering of said ramp member with respect to said supporting surface when the components of said frame are adjusted to accomplish said raising or lowering of said ramp member.

Claim 3

A ramp of the character defined in claim 1 in which said ramp member is curvilinear.

Claim 4

A ramp of the character defined in claim 1 in which said connections between said ramp and said suspensory frame are pivotal connections permitting the rotation of said ramp member with respect to said frame as the components of said frame are adjusted.

Claim 5

In a ramp for use in conjunction with wheeled sporting devices, the combination of: an elongated, curvilinear ramp member having its lower extremity juxtaposed to a supporting surface and its upper extremity disposable above and in spaced relationship with said supporting surface; a suspensory frame for said ramp member, said suspensory frame including a plurality of readily demountable components, said suspensory frame incorporating adjustment means for adjusting the attitude of said ramp member with respect to said supporting surface; and movable connections between said ramp member and said suspensory frame to permit the alteration of the attitude of said ramp member with the supporting surface concomitantly with the adjustment of said suspensory frame.

Claim 6

In a ramp for use in conjunction with wheeled sporting devices, the combination of: an elongated, curvilinear ramp member having its lower extremity juxtaposed to a supporting surface and its upper extremity disposable above and in spaced relationship with said supporting surface; a suspensory frame for said ramp member, said suspensory frame including a plurality of readily demountable components, said suspensory frame incorporating adjustment means for adjusting the attitude of said ramp member with respect to said supporting surface; and movable connections between said ramp member and said suspensory frame to permit the alteration of the attitude of said ramp member with the supporting surface concomitantly with the adjustment of said suspensory frame.

Claim 7

A ramp of the character defined in claim 4 in which said suspensory frame includes telescopic adjustment means for lengthening or shortening said suspensory frame to correspondingly alter the attitude of said ramp member with respect to said supporting surface.

Claim 8

A ramp of the character defined in claim 5 in which said connections are pivotal to permit rotation of said ramp member in respect to said suspensory frame during the adjustment of said frame by said telescopic adjustment.

Claim 9

In an adjustable, demountable ramp for use in conjunction with wheeled sporting devices, the combination of: an elongated resilient ramp member having a lower extremity juxtaposable to a supporting surface and an upper extremity disposable in spaced relationship with said supporting surface; a suspensory frame for the said ramp member; movable connections for connecting said resilient ramp member to said suspensory frame and for causing said ramp member to assume a flexed, resilient, curvilinear orientation on said suspensory frame; and adjustment means on said frame for altering the spatial relationships of components of said frame to cause the raising or lowering of said upper extremity of said ramp member.

Claim 10

In an adjustable, demountable ramp for use in conjunction with wheeled sporting devices, the combination of: an elongated resilient ramp member having a lower extremity juxtaposable to a supporting surface and an upper extremity disposable in spaced relationship with said supporting surface; a suspensory frame for the said ramp member; movable connections for connecting said resilient ramp member to said suspensory frame and for causing said ramp member to assume a flexed, resilient, curvilinear orientation on said suspensory frame; and adjustment means on said frame for altering the spatial relationships of components of said frame to cause the raising or lowering of said upper extremity of said ramp member.

Claim 11

A ramp of the character defined in claim 7 in which an auxiliary support is interposed between the underside of said ramp member and said suspensory frame to limit the flexing of said ramp member.

Claim 12

A ramp of the character defined in claim 8 in which said auxiliary support is moveable to accommodate variations in the curvature of said ramp member attributable to the aforesaid adjustment of said suspensory frame.

Claim 13

In an adjustable, demountable ramp for use in conjunction with wheeled sporting devices, the combination of: an elongated resilient ramp member having its lower extremity juxtaposable to a supporting surface and its upper extremity disposable in spaced relationship with respect to said supporting surface; a suspensory frame for said ramp member, said suspensory frame including adjustment means to permit adjustment thereof and corresponding adjustment of said ramp member; and movable connections between said frame and said ramp member whereby said frame maintains said ramp member in a flexed, curvilinear position on said frame and whereby adjustment of said frame causes the elevation of the upper extremity of said ramp member to change the angle of incidence of said ramp member and its curvilinear aspect with respect to said frame and said supporting surface.

Claim 14

In an adjustable, demountable ramp for use in conjunction with wheeled sporting devices, the combination of: an elongated resilient ramp member having its lower extremity juxtaposable to a supporting surface and its upper extremity disposable in spaced relationship with respect to said supporting surface; a suspensory frame for said ramp member, said suspensory frame including adjustment means to permit adjustment thereof and corresponding adjustment of said ramp member; and movable connections between said frame and said ramp member whereby said frame maintains said ramp member in a flexed, curvilinear position on said frame and whereby adjustment of said frame causes the elevation of the upper extremity of said ramp member to change the angle of incidence of said ramp member and its curvilinear aspect with respect to said frame and said supporting surface.

Claim 15

A ramp of the character defined in claim 1 in which said connections between said ramp and said suspensory frame are pivotal connections permitting the rotation of said ramp member with respect to said frame as the components of said frame are adjusted and said pivotal connections can be snapped on and off said frame.
