Abstract

The bicycle saddle comprises a cover (2), a carrier (4) and a support. Between the saddle and the cover, at least in the region under the bones, the saddle includes an air cushion (1) which can be inflated and has the same shape as the saddle. The cushion (11) is integrated in or underneath the cover (21), and the hardness of the saddle surface is controlled with a valve and an air pump. The cushion is made of elastic material, esp. synthetic foam. The cushion may comprise two air cushions. ADVANTAGE - The hardness of the saddle is adjustable according to the weight of the rider.

Description

Bekannte Fahrradsättel bestehen aus einer Satteldecke, einem Sattelträger und Sattelbrücke und weisen je nach Verwendungs­ zweck des Fahrrades eine Polsterung und/oder Federung auf. Es gibt auch verschiedene Sattelformen für Damen, Herren und Kinder. Im allgemeinen sind bekannte Sättel nicht individuell einstellbar und nur für einen Normmenschen mit einem Gewicht von etwa 65 kg - bei einem Sattel für Erwachsene - ausgelegt.Known bicycle saddles consist of a saddlecloth, a Saddle carrier and saddle bridge and show depending on use Purpose of the bike upholstery and / or suspension. It are also different saddle shapes for women, men and Children. In general, known saddles are not individual adjustable and only for a normal person with a weight of about 65 kg - designed for adults with a saddle.

Durch den neu entwickelten Sattel werden die Nachteile kon­ ventioneller Sättel beseitigt. Insbesondere wird ermöglicht, daß die Sattelhärte und/oder die -federung ohne besonderen Aufwand individuell einstellbar ist. Hierfür wird zwischen der Satteldecke und dem Sattelträger und zumindest im Bereich der Sitzknochen ein aufblasbares, der Sattelform entsprechen­ des Luftkissen angebracht. Über ein Ventil und eine Pumpe kann der Druck des Luftkissens beliebig geändert werden. Ge­ mäß einer Ausführungsform wird das Luftkissen in die Sattel­ decke integriert, so daß es eine Polsterung bildet. Gemäß einer alternativen Ausführungsform wird die Satteldecke hart ausgeführt und das Luftkissen unterhalb der Satteldecke ange­ bracht, so daß die Federung der Sattelfläche durch Verände­ rung des Drucks des Luftkissens individuell einstellbar ist. Bei einem Sattel, der beiden Ausführungsformen entspricht, kann dann ein erstes Luftkissen zur individuellen Einstellung der Art der Polsterung und ein zweites Luftkissen zur ent­ sprechenden Einstellung der Härte der Federung verwendet wer­ den.The newly developed saddle eliminates the disadvantages conventional saddles eliminated. In particular, it enables that the saddle hardness and / or the suspension without special Effort is individually adjustable. For this, between the saddlecloth and the saddle carrier and at least in the area the seat bone is an inflatable that conform to the saddle shape of the air cushion attached. Via a valve and a pump the pressure of the air cushion can be changed as desired. Ge in one embodiment, the air cushion is in the saddle integrated ceiling so that it forms an upholstery. According to an alternative embodiment, the saddlecloth becomes hard executed and the air cushion below the saddlecloth brings, so that the suspension of the saddle surface by changes the pressure of the air cushion is individually adjustable. With a saddle that corresponds to both embodiments, can then use a first air cushion for individual adjustment the type of upholstery and a second air cushion to ent speaking setting of the hardness of the suspension used who the.

Vorzugsweise wird in das Luftkissen eine Polsterung aus einer offenporig geschäumten elastischen Kunststoffmasse einge­ bracht. Dies hat den Vorteil, daß, wenn aus irgendeinem Grund die Luft aus dem Luftkissen entweicht, dieses nicht sofort in sich zusammenfällt. Zusätzlich können die ansich bekannten Federungselemente bzw. Polsterungsmöglichkeiten vorgesehen werden. Das Luftkissen ermöglicht eine individuelle Anpassung einerseits an die unterschiedlichen Beckenknochenweiten bei Frauen und Männern und andererseits an das Körpergewicht. Ferner kann die Sattelhärte bzw. die Federung entsprechend der Fahrbahnbeschaffenheit und dem Fahrradtyp eingestellt werden. Die beiden Ausführungsformen zeichnen sich zusätzlich durch geringes Eigengewicht und eine gute Kälte- bzw. Wärme­ isolierung aus.Preferably, an upholstery is made in the air cushion open-pore foamed elastic plastic mass brings. This has the advantage that if for any reason the air escapes from the air cushion, not immediately  collapses. In addition, those known per se Suspension elements or upholstery options provided will. The air cushion enables individual adjustment on the one hand to the different pelvic bone widths Women and men and on the other hand to body weight. Furthermore, the saddle hardness or the suspension can be adjusted accordingly of the road surface and the type of bike will. The two embodiments also stand out due to its low weight and good cold or heat insulation off.

In den beiliegenden Fig. 1a, b und 2 werden zwei Ausfüh­ rungsmöglichkeiten für Fahrradsättel schematisch dargestellt, die auch in Kombination miteinander verwendet werden können.In the accompanying FIGS. 1a, b and 2, two options for bicycle saddles are shown schematically, which can also be used in combination with one another.

In beiden Fällen ist zunächst ein Luftkissen 1 vorhanden, das (1.1) bei der in Fig. 1a und b dargestellten Ausführungsform teilweise in die Satteldecke 2.1 integriert ist und somit ei­ ne Polsterung bildet. Der in dem Kissen enthaltene Luftdruck kann über ein Ventil 3 z. B. mit einer Fahrradpumpe indivi­ duell eingestellt werden.In both cases there is first an air cushion 1 , which ( 1.1 ) in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1a and b is partially integrated into the saddlecloth 2.1 and thus forms an upholstery. The air pressure contained in the pad may be, via a valve. 3 B. can be set individually with a bicycle pump.

Gemäß Fig. 2 wird für einen Sattel eine relativ harte und un­ gepolsterte Satteldecke 2.2 gewählt. Das Luftkissen 1.2 be­ findet sich zwischen dem Sattelträger 4 und der Satteldecke 2.2.Referring to FIG. 2 is a relatively hard and un padded saddlecloth 2.2 is chosen for a saddle. The air cushion 1.2 be between the saddle carrier 4 and the saddle cover 2.2 .

Bei dieser Ausführungsform bewirkt das Kissen eine Federung, die ebenfalls über ein Ventil 5 individuell einstellbar ist.In this embodiment, the cushion causes a suspension, which is also individually adjustable via a valve 5 .

Wenn im Vorstehenden von einem Fahrradsattel die Rede ist, so soll damit auch jeder andere Sattel eines Zwei- oder Dreira­ des mit umfaßt sein.If the foregoing speaks of a bicycle saddle, then so So every other saddle of a two or three horse should be included.
