Abstract

The support comprises a rubber/spring beneath a laterally extending saddle allowing it to tilt laterally during pedalling as well as forwardly. It is held beneath the saddle by a bolt passing through the centre of the saddle, the rubber/spring and a lower metal plate which is coupled to a standard saddle post. A nut on the bolt lower end adjusts the rubber/spring compression for degree of saddle movement.

Description

THE PRINCIPLE OF THE DESIGN IS TO PROVIDE A CROSSWISE SEAT FOR PEDDLE OPERATE VEHICLES OR EXERCISE MACHINES, REPLACING THE TRADITIONAL SADDLE.
THE FOUR MAIN POINTS ARE: (1) A SEAT SECURED ON A SINGLE CENTRAL POINT ENABLING THE SEAT TO PIVOT AND MOVE IN A CIRCULA MOVEMENT.
(2) A RUBBER/SYNTHETIC/SPRING, MOUNT ALLOWING THE SEAT TO TILT FROM SIDE TO SIDE THUS ALLOWING THE FULL ROTATIONAL MOVEMENT REQUIRED FOR PEDDLING.
(3) THE CENTRAL SUPPORT GOING THROUGH THE SEAT PROVIDE LATERAL SUPPORT WHILE STILL ALLOWING THE SEAT TO TILT.
BY ADJUSTING THE PRESSURE TO THE NUT YOU AN ADJUST THE AMOUNT OF MOVEMENT REQUIRED.
(4) A STANDARD SADDLE BRACKET WHICH ALLOWS THE SEAT TO BE TILTED FORWARD AND BACKWARD FOR THE RIDERS COMFORT.
(A) MACHINE SCREW OR RIDGE ROD/BAR.
(B) RUBBER MOUNT (C) METAL PLATE (D) NUTS (E) STANDARD AJUSTABLE SADDLE MOUNT (F) CROSSWISE SEAT DESIGN WILL VARY A THE METAL MACHINE SCREW GIVES BOTH LATERAL SUPPORT FOR THE SEAT WHICH GOES ACROSS THE BIKE OR PEDDLE DRIVEN VEHICLE, ALSO BY VARYING THE TIGHTNESS THE AMOUNT OF MOVEMENT CAN BE ADJUSTED TO SUIT THE RIDER, FROM EITHER THE TOP OR BOTTOM.
B THE RUBBER MOUNT OR SPRING ENABLES THE CROSSWISE SEAT SECURED IN THE CENTER BY A TO MOVE BOTH IN THE FORE AND AFT DIRECTION AND UP AND DOWN AND ALLOWING THE RIDER TO PEDDLE.
C METAL PLATE TO ENABLE THE USES OF A STANDARD BIKE FITTING TO ATTACH THE SEAT TO THE FRAME.
D NUT OR NUTS TO SECURE THE SEAT/THE RUBBER MOUNT/METAL PLATE, TO F, IN THE PRODUCTION UNIT THIS MAY BE REPLACED BY AN EASIER ADJUSTABLE SYSTEM AS BY TIGHTENING A THE AMOUNT OF MOVEMENT CAN BE REGULATED.
F THE STANDARD FITTING ENABLE THE CROSSWISE SEAT TO BE SECURED TO THE BIKE AND ALSO PROVIDING ANGULAR ADJUSTMENT OF THE SEAT TO SUIT THE RIDER POSITION.
Key to the figures a) Machine screw or metal support b) Rubber mount c) Metal plate d) Nuts e) Standard adjustable saddle mount f) Crosswise seat (designs may vary)
