Abstract

The saddle has a seat supported on a metal wire frame (2). On this is held a sheet of soft material, with stuffing between. The upper part of the seat (1) has, in cross section, a concavity stuffed at the top. The cover sheet (3) is held on to the seat by the insertion of flexible material (4). The side section has a convex bottom which matches the concave part of the lower part of the seat (1). The cover can be leather or plastics and the stuffing is sponge rubber.

Description

L'invention a pour objet une selle de cycle. The invention relates to a cycle saddle.

La plupart des selles de cycles comportent une armature, généralement en fil métallique, supportant un plateau qui est constitué en un matériau semi-rigide et sur lequel est tendue une feuille de cuivou autre matière souple, avec ou sans interposition d'un matériau de rembourrage. C'et ce plateau qui donne sa forme générale à la selle. Most cycle saddles have a frame, generally made of metal wire, supporting a plate which is made of a semi-rigid material and on which is stretched a sheet of copper or other flexible material, with or without the interposition of a padding material. . It is this plate which gives its general shape to the saddle.

Ce plateau présentant traditionnellement en section transversale une forme exterieure convexe, la selle présente finalement la même forme, ce qui conduit le plus souvent à un inconfort, mais parfois aussi à des inconvénients d'ordre physique pour le cycliste, particulièrement au niveau de l'urètre et des extrémités des os illiaques, et ce en raison de la compression de ces parties du corps sur la selle, compression qui résulte de la pression que le cycliste exerce sur la selle, et qui provient en partie des efforts de traction qutil exerce sur le guidon. This plate traditionally having in cross section a convex external shape, the saddle finally has the same shape, which most often leads to discomfort, but sometimes also to physical drawbacks for the cyclist, particularly at the level of the urethra and extremities of the iliac bones, and this because of the compression of these parts of the body on the saddle, compression which results from the pressure which the cyclist exerts on the saddle, and which comes partly from the traction forces which it exerts on handlebars.

L'invention remédie à ces inconvénients. Elle a pour objet, à cet effet, une selle dont le plateau possède une face supérieure qui, vue en coupe transversale, présente une concavité bourrée vers le haut, et sa feuille de couverture est tendue sur lui avec interposition d'un garnissage souple dont la partie inférieure présente en coupe transversale une forme convexe épousant la concavité du plateau. The invention overcomes these drawbacks. It has for its object, for this purpose, a saddle whose plate has an upper face which, seen in cross section, has a concavity stuffed upwards, and its cover sheet is stretched over it with the interposition of a flexible lining, the lower part has in cross section a convex shape matching the concavity of the plate.

L'invention sera bien comprise d'ailleurs à l'aide de la description qui suit, en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, une forme d'exécution de cette selle
Les figures 1 et 2 en sont des vues en coupe, respectivement longitudinale suivant 1-1 de figure 2 et transversale suivant 2-2 de figure 1.
The invention will be understood moreover with the aid of the description which follows, with reference to the appended diagrammatic drawing representing, by way of nonlimiting example, an embodiment of this saddle
Figures 1 and 2 are sectional views, respectively longitudinal along 1-1 of Figure 2 and transverse along 2-2 of Figure 1.

Dans ce dessin, 1 désigne le plateau de la selle qui est montée sur une armature 2 constituée par un fil métallique de section ronde, replié sur lui-même pour former un U allongé ouvert vers l'arrière. Sur ce plateau est tendue une feuille de couverture 3, qui est constituée par exemple en cuir, en matière plastique, ou en toute autre matière souple1 et entre le plateau 1 et la feuille 3 est interposé un garnissage 4 réalisé en un matériau élastique tel que par exemple un caoutchouc cellulaire, une mousse synthétique ou similaire. In this drawing, 1 designates the saddle plate which is mounted on a frame 2 constituted by a metal wire of round section, folded back on itself to form an elongated U open towards the rear. On this tray is stretched a cover sheet 3, which is made for example of leather, plastic, or any other flexible material1 and between the tray 1 and the sheet 3 is interposed a lining 4 made of an elastic material such as for example cellular rubber, synthetic foam or the like.

Le plateau 1, qui sert de base à la selle, présente dans sa zone médiane longitudinale une forme concave lorsqu'on le regarde en coupe transversale ; cette forme est visible en 5 à la figure 2. I1 en résulte que le matériau de rembourrage 4 qui se trouve comprimé entre le plateau 1 et la feuille de couverture 3 de la selle présente, dans la zone longitudinale médiane de cette selle, une épaisseur importante qui va en diminuant en direction des bords longitudinaux de la selle. Cette plus grande épaisseur du rembourrage 4 dans la partie centrale de la selle augmente considérablement son confort et évite au cycliste de se blesser, meme si en raison des efforts de traction qu'il exerce sur le guidon de son cycle, il exerce simultanément une forte pression sur la selle. The plate 1, which serves as a base for the saddle, has in its longitudinal central zone a concave shape when viewed in cross section; this shape is visible at 5 in FIG. 2. It follows that the padding material 4 which is compressed between the plate 1 and the cover sheet 3 of the saddle has, in the median longitudinal region of this saddle, a thickness important which decreases towards the longitudinal edges of the saddle. This greater thickness of the padding 4 in the central part of the saddle considerably increases its comfort and prevents the cyclist from injuring himself, even if due to the traction forces which he exerts on the handlebars of his cycle, he simultaneously exerts a strong pressure on the saddle.

Comme il va de so, l'invention ne se limite pas à la seule forme d'exécution de cette selle qui est ci-dessus indiquée à titre d'exemple, elle en embrasse au contraire, toutes les variantes de réalisation.  As it goes without saying, the invention is not limited to the sole embodiment of this saddle which is indicated above by way of example, on the contrary it embraces all the variant embodiments.
