Definitions

  • the invention is related to a seat pad for cycling trousers and to cycling trousers comprising such seat pad. Further, the invention is related to a method of manufacturing a seat pad for cycling trousers.
  • the pants or trousers typically include a padding which is located in most variants in the perineal and buttocks regions, in other variants also in the crotch or front pelvic region of the cyclist.
  • seat pads are installed in the crotch and perineal areas of the trousers sewn in place within the elastic material of the garment forming the leg and body portions of the trousers.
  • the seat pads known in the art provide increased protection of the cyclist's anatomical parts which have contact with the padding, there are still some parts of the cyclist's body which, due to their anatomy, may suffer more from intensive motion during pedalling and pressure than others. Such region is, for example, the male genital region which comes into contact with the crotch area of the seat pad.
  • the seat pad should be thin enough to enable intensive pedalling of the legs during cycling without chaffing against the skin. This typically also implies a tight fit of the trousers on the cyclist's body, thus exerting a compression of the seat pad on the genitals.
  • sufficient protection should be given against constant pressure, shock, and vibration transmitted by the bicycle seat.
  • a protection seat for cyclist trousers which is aimed at improving known cyclist trousers obtaining better comfort and protection to delicate body parts during the use.
  • a protection seat for the crotch area of a cyclist trousers comprises, in a single piece, a front pubic portion and a perineal-ischiatic rear portion, wherein at least the front portion is formed with a concave shell shape.
  • the concave shell shape is formed by a joint between opposite flaps of a longitudinal median notch made in the front portion of the seat.
  • a method for manufacturing and pre-forming a protection seat for cyclist trousers comprises the steps of shaping the seat with a front portion and a rear portion, making a longitudinal median V-shaped notch on said front portion with an open end, obtaining two opposite flaps, and joining at least a portion of the opposite flaps of said notch, obtaining a front longitudinal joint thus pre-forming a shell-shaped concave region in said front portion of the seat.
  • the pre-formed shell-shaped concave region provides better comfort and protection by a better fit to the anatomical parts
  • the three-dimensional form of the concave shell shape is still not sufficiently adapted to the anatomical shape of the genitals.
  • the joint between opposite flaps of the longitudinal median notch may cause chaffing during use when pressed against the cyclist's body.
  • a seat pad for cycling trousers comprising a front portion adapted to be arranged in a crotch area of a cyclist, and a back portion adapted to be arranged in a perineal area of the cyclist.
  • the front portion and the back portion are joined by one or multiple seams, wherein the one or multiple seams are running sideways of a longitudinal center line of the seat pad between opposing peripheral areas of the seat pad.
  • the seat pad takes a three-dimensional concave shape in the joining region of the front portion and back portion, said three-dimensional concave shape being formed in that opposing seam joining lines of the front portion and the back portion are joined along the one or multiple seams thereby closing a respective tapered gap between the front portion and back portion on each side of the longitudinal center line.
  • the invention is also related to cycling trousers comprising such a seat pad as described herein according to embodiments of the invention.
  • the invention further concerns a method of manufacturing a seat pad for cycling trousers as described herein.
  • the seat pad in the joining region of the front and back portion can be formed to have a three-dimensional concave shape with improved fitting to the anatomical shape of the wearer in the crotch region, particularly to the anatomical shape of a male cyclist's genitals.
  • This is achieved by provision of one or multiple seams which are running sideways of a longitudinal center line of the seat pad between opposing peripheral areas of the seat pad.
  • the concave shape can be extended more breadthways and less in longitudinal direction, thus obtaining a deeper and broader three-dimensional concave shell shape of the seat pad resulting in reduced compression for the genitals.
  • the one or more seams can be placed sideways in a way that they come into contact with body portions which are subjected to less pressure during cycling than others, such as in the side areas of the genitals, thus reducing chaffing.
  • the one or multiple seams are running sideways of the longitudinal center line of the seat pad. This means that the one or multiple seams are running in side direction with respect to the longitudinal center line between opposing peripheral areas of the seat pad.
  • the one or multiple seams may be arranged such that they run through a center part and side parts of the seat pad on both sides of the longitudinal center line, for example crossing or touching the longitudinal center line. They may be arranged such that they are inclined with respect to the longitudinal center line, for example in a forward or backward direction of the seat pad.
  • forward, backward, left, right directions or locations, outer side, inner side, etc. it is referred to directions and locations of the seat pad when worn by the cyclist during use.
  • the tapered gap may have opposing seam joining lines which are substantially straight and/or rounded.
  • the seam joining lines may be straight or rounded in any combination, such that one of the seam joining lines is straight while the respective opposing seam joining line is rounded.
  • one or multiple of the seam joining lines may be straight in some portions and rounded in other portions. They can be rounded in any desired shape, for example, following a half-circle or elliptical line.
  • the tapered gap may be substantially V-shaped, wherein V-shape is understood herein to encompass straight as well as rounded seam joining lines as long as the shape of the gap comprises opposing seam joining lines forming legs which are closer to each other in inner regions than in outer regions of the seat pad (i.e. have the form of an approximate V-shape).
  • the tapered gap may have any form which has opposing seam joining lines which are placed closer to each other in regions towards the longitudinal center line than in the peripheral regions.
  • the front portion and the back portion are joined by at least one seam which is running on the respective sides of the longitudinal center line between opposing peripheral areas of the seat pad. According to another embodiment, the front portion and the back portion are joined by at least two seams which are respectively running between the longitudinal center line and one of the opposing peripheral areas of the seat pad.
  • the one or multiple seams are inclined with respect to the longitudinal center line.
  • the one or multiple seams are inclined with respect to the longitudinal center line in a direction towards the front of the seat pad, i.e forward of the seat pad.
  • the one or multiple seams are inclined with respect to the longitudinal center line in a direction away from the front of the seat pad, i.e. backwards of the seat pad.
  • the front portion and back portion are made from two separate parts.
  • the two separate parts are put together and joined at the at least one or multiple seams.
  • the two parts may be already joined in some region of the seat pad, for example in a region around the longitudinal center line, and are then further joined at the at least one or multiple seams.
  • the front portion and back portion may be constructed to have different properties.
  • the front portion may be designed to have shielding and/or warming properties to prevent cooling in the scrotal area.
  • the back portion on the other hand, may be designed to have good cushioning or damping properties for a comfortable rest of the cyclist's pelvic or perineal region on the seat. It should be noted that it is not necessary that the front and back portions are joined continuously along the one or multiple seams, as long as they are joined along the one or multiple seams in some portions of the opposing seam joining lines.
  • the front portion and back portion are made from one piece.
  • the respective tapered gaps are cut out from the padding piece and the opposing seam joining lines along the gaps are then joined to form a respective dart.
