Abstract
Abstract A folding structure for skating board is essentially comprised of a handle and a handle stem both connected to the head tube of the skating board, a support extending from the head tube at a certain inclination is pivoted to a pivot seat protruding from the board. Wherein, a sliding chute in proper length is provided on the support, and a tag extending from the pivot seat so that a joint permitting fast removal radially inserted through the tag and the sliding chute is used to secure the support and the pivot seat. Once the fast joint is released, and the support is turned at a certain inclination, the support may be drawn out and sliding relatively to the pivot seat so to fold both of the handle and its stem flat on the board.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
284 words
A folding structure of a skating board, comprised of a handle stem and a handle both connected to a head tube of the skating board, a front wheel connected to the base of the head tube, a rear wheel connected to the rear end of the board, and a folding knuckle provided between the head tube and the front end of the board, characterized by that: a support extends at a certain inclination from the peripheral of the head tube, a pivot seat is fixed at the end surface of the front side of the board, and a folding knuckle formed by inserting and pivoting the support to the pivot seat; wherein, a sliding chute in proper length is provided on the surface of the support and a tag extends from the top end of the pivot seat on the board so that the support penetrates at a certain inclination through the pivot seat and is fixed between the tag and the sliding chute with a joint which allows fast release; the support is inserted and secured to the pivot seat and to achieve double secure in conjunction with the compressed joint; upon folding up, the joint is released to permit the support to be pulled up and slide against the pivot seat, a fixation lever from the joint in relation to the tag from the pivot seat is used as a rotation axis to turn the support for a certain inclination; furthermore, the support slides downward against the top edge of the pivot seat so that the support holds against top edges of front and rear side walls of the pivot seat; thus, the support is locked up by the pressing the joint.
