Abstract

Bicycle seat has one seating surface or split seating surface (1) installed on base plate (2) which is movably connected with the clamp bracket (3a) over horizontally arranged connection body (3).The front edge of the seating surface runs precisely transverse to the driving direction.

Description

The The invention relates to a bicycle saddle with a one- or two-piece Seat, the base plate, the mounted saddle axle and the mounting bracket.

The Form and operation differ significantly from conventional ones Saddles.

Problem:

The Basic shape of the saddles on the market is in principle always the same.

she consist of an elongated Support, which tapers forward and the body weight above that Pelvic floor carries.

Of the rear broad part absorbs the buttocks and the seat legs; on The soft part funnel of the pelvic floor is located in the front narrow part. On the sides of the narrow front move during the Ride your legs.

Such Saddles are well known. Various types of bikes and differences in to the persons in total size and leg length through the adjustment options balanced by saddle and handlebar.

By a tilt adjustment of the saddle, there is another possibility to customize the saddle individually.

Everyone, who has ever cycled knows the problem. The dam, so the intermediate meat between genitals and anus and Thus, the soft tissue funnel will be heavily loaded causing pressure damage in the genital area. There are feelings in the Range of genitals for the time after driving and according to investigations there are also Late damage in the form of infertility.

Saddles are it in the most different execution around the unwanted Relieve pressure points.

The Saddle makers counter this problem by providing a groove on the longitudinal axis the seat let in to relieve the dam. The bigger the inlet, the higher the lateral load.

Other Manufacturers try with ever better materials and material combinations that To face the problem.

New There are also air suspension seat cushions on the market.

In The past also has time and again with sophisticated spring systems worked so that the saddle or the seatpost sprung can be.

But as long as the basic shape and the immobility of a saddle maintained The problem can not really be solved.

solution

From This problem is the inventor's task, to construct a bicycle saddle, in which the dam and the genitalia no longer be charged.

you puts a conventional Seating based because the supporting bones are used while sitting should. There are no nerve tracts here. Sex organ and dam will not be charged.

One so-called warp-car e.g. has one normal seat. The bottom bracket is located in front of the seat. Own the legs enough Freedom to pedal.

The Bottom bracket of a bicycle, however, lies below the seat and a rigid seat would restrict the freedom of movement of the legs.

consequently the saddle must adapt to the pedaling movements and be mobile.

With Help of drawings is an embodiment of the invention described in more detail become.

To solve the problem, a generic saddle is characterized as follows:
The seat ( 1 ) is one or two parts.

The front, transverse to the direction of travel outer edge (c) of the seats is essentially straight.

The Width of the seats corresponds to the width of the buttocks using person.

The Depth (distance c to d) corresponds to the length of the sit bones plus sufficient area for the Buttocks.

The the back corners are rounded to the shape of the buttocks.

The seat was divided so that the width individually on the base plate ( 2 ) can be adjusted.

The seat ( 1 ) is located on the base plate, which has a width setting ( 1a / 2d ) allows the seat.

preferably far ahead is the fulcrum (b) (optimally is a fulcrum center on the transverse leading edge of the seat (B2).

There the saddle axle ( 2c ) horizontally with the underlying connection plate ( 3 ) and the locking straps ( 3a / b) is connected.

The saddle axle ( 2c ) is due to the two thrust bearings ( 2a and 2 B ) movable. Thus, a horizontal rotation of the seat is possible. Both halves of the seat can thereby swing back and forth against each other. A complete 360-degree rotation is prevented by a lock. So the driver can quickly find the right seating position when setting.

The Guaranteed saddle shape a sitting on the sitting bones, their position just in front of the front outer edge Find. In pedaling e.g. right leg down and the simultaneous upward movement of the left leg, the seat rotates and changes their Position in the clockwise direction or the right half of the seat swings rear; the left half of the seat swings forward. On the contrary, the seat surface turns with the reverse movement against the clockwise or left half of the seat swings to the rear; the right forward. An additional one Force is not necessary.

By The horizontal rotation keeps the body safe and stable.

The Main load, however, remains on the sit bone, which during the Pedaling to hold their position. The seat is softly padded.
