'La tige peut comporter des encoches de forme particulière destinées à être mises en contact avec un système de ver- rouillage automatique. The rod may have notches of particular shape intended to be brought into contact with an automatic locking system.
. Le système de verrouillage automatique peut être réalisé à partir de deux plaques destinées à entraîner un blocage de la tige de selle aux différentes hauteurs préréglées. . The automatic locking system can be made from two plates intended to cause a blocking of the seatpost at the different preset heights.
'Une plaque fixe sert de support de mécanisme solidaire du tube de selle. '' A fixed plate serves as a mechanism support integral with the seat tube.
'Une poignée située sur le guidon peut déplacer la plaque mobile et libérer la tige. '' A handle located on the handlebar can move the movable plate and release the rod.
'Le blocage du pivotement de la selle peut être obtenu en fixant une tige parallèle à la tige de selle coulissant dans un manchon fixe solidaire du tube. 'Locking the pivoting of the saddle can be obtained by fixing a rod parallel to the sliding seatpost in a fixed sleeve integral with the tube.
'Un ergot peut être positionné sur la plaque fixe en saillie dans une gorge taillée dans la tige. '' A lug can be positioned on the fixed plate projecting into a groove cut in the rod.
'Le glissement de la tige à l'intérieur du tube est facilité par un manchon en forme de bouchon fixé par une vis sur la tige. The sliding of the rod inside the tube is facilitated by a plug-shaped sleeve fixed by a screw on the rod.
