"Two-wheel saddle"

The invention relates to a two-wheeled saddle with a rigid support body and upholstered body with cover foam foamed on it.

Such two-wheeled saddles are already known in various designs. However, they have the major disadvantage that their production is cumbersome and expensive due to the large number of individual parts and multiple operations .

Sine object of the invention is to provide an improved, simple and to create economically manufacturable two-wheeled saddles with padding.

Another object of the invention is to manufacture the carrier body to improve, the carrier body should also be designed to be lighter in weight while maintaining good strength properties.

According to the invention, a two-wheeled saddle or the like. with a rigid 'support body and foamed upholstery body with' cover skin characterized in that the upholstered body is made of an open-pore hollow space reduced in size over a zone into a closed-pore, uniformly formed, material-wise, outer cover skin overflowing foam body consists and insoluble in terms of production when foaming with the carrier body connected is.

In a preferred embodiment, the cushion body is firmly connected to the carrier body in the entire connection area by means of a compacted layer. - "

According to a further exemplary embodiment, there is the carrier body made of rigid foam; it forms a unit with fastening parts and consists of a cushioned body made of soft foam at least partially surrounded.

Further preferred features of the invention emerge from the remaining subclaims.

The subject matter of the invention extends not only to that individual features of the claims, but also on their combination. . . .

A two-wheeled saddle according to the invention is characterized by good. The cushioning properties of the saddle pad by a simple,

durable and economical training. Its production is very cost-saving, since the manual work is significantly simplified compared to previously known saddles. Particularly advantageous in this case it is ₃ that the whole of the support body (rigid foam ') and be prepared by the cushion body (V / calibration foam) existing saddle in two Arbeitsgärtgen without manual work -can and is equipped advantageously coinciding with the fastening parts, with the support body form a unit.

Due to the rigid foam carrier body, there is no need for a metallic one Carrier plate and a significant weight saving is achieved and considerable material costs are saved. The support body, which is made of hard foam, has great stability, so that even with great connection or fastening stresses no damage occurs at the fastening points. Due to the light, but very stable saddle education, this saddle is suitable for a wide variety of purposes.

The application of such a saddle extends not only to two-wheelers, such as bicycles, mopeds or the like. The term “ two-wheeler satteis” also includes the saddle design that is now known as a two-wheeler seat cushion.

The saddle according to the invention can be in the most varied of forms and large volumes can be created easily, quickly and inexpensively.

It is particularly advantageous that despite the good seating properties due to the firm connection, the otherwise usual so-called floating of the upholstery mass on the upholstery mass carrier cannot occur - the carrier plate is fixed to the upholstery body by means of the compressed foam layer CIn. Another advantage is that no separate outer layer is required, but rather is formed from appropriately compressed plastic foam.

Furthermore, the cushion body 31 can completely accommodate the support body 3o Surrounded (on all sides) so that the carrier body 3o is embedded in the cushion body 11 (see FIG. Ib). at of the embedded carrier body arrangement, its fastening parts 33 protrude from the cushion body at least on the underside 31 out. ·

It is preferred to have the carrier body Io with openings 36 »such as Holes or the like. equip so that a two-sided flexible foam arrangement is possible (see. Fig. 12), the cushion body 31 penetrates through the openings 36 and lies down also underneath over the support body surface or else he extends like a rivet head in the region of the openings 36 on the underside of the support body 3o. The bilateral, through the Breakthroughs 36 achieved soft foam arrangement guaranteed an anchoring of the cushion body with the support body 3o and thus increases the strength of the connection between the two bodies 3o, 31.

The production of the support body 3.0 is preferably carried out in Spraying process in a saddle shape that corresponds to the desired shape Form in which the rigid foam 'is injected to the support body 3o. After the Triigerkkörper production it is put into a second form brought and on the support body 3o the soft foam for formation of the cushion body 31 foamed (injected) - both bodies 3o, 31 are firmly connected to one another by foaming.

Corresponding to the support body 3o, the saddle bridge 3 ¹ J can also be produced from rigid foam.

As Fig. 16 of the drawing shows, each is made of flexible foam P al star body 31 on the outside and in the entire connection area (support body surface) and (openings 36) with the Carrier body 3o with a cavity that is reduced in size over a zone

This layer 37, which is more solid and harder than the flexible foam, acts as a cover skin (outer skin) and connecting layer extends circumferentially on all sides on the upholstery body 31 and inevitably arises when it is foamed; is there this layer 37 also in the area of openings 36 in the carrier body 5.0 present, so that this layer 37 extends throughout Connection area of the cushion body 31 with the carrier body 3o and on the outside of the cushion body 31 forms. Through this layer 37, both bodies 30, 31 are positionally set against each other and a floating mounting of the support body 3o in the cushion body 31 is prevented; but this layer 37 ensures favorable padding with good strength. The cushion body 31 is in the area this layer 37 is connected to the carrier body 3o in terms of manufacture.

Corresponding to the soft foam, each support body 3o made of hard foam is also provided with a on the outside (on all sides) via a zone of reduced cavities in a closed-pore or pore-free layer formed from the same material ^ 8 fitted so that both bodies "3o, 31 with marginal compacted layers 37,38 and are connected to one another without adhesive in the area of these layers. These Layers 37, 38 give the bodies 30, 31 a favorable appearance Stability, long service life and advantageous spring properties with a secure connection.

The shape and size of the can be variously run of a support body 3 £ o of hard foam and a cushion body ■ $ 1 saddle formed of flexible foam in two steps.
