Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a device for attaching a reflector to a bicycle saddle that is equipped with a shock absorbing coil spring at the lower rear of the saddle body, and in particular does not have a mudguard or loading platform on the rear wheel. It is suitable for bicycles.

In conventional bicycles of this kind, as shown in Fig. 1, a reflector c is attached to the arm fitting b protruding from the backhawk a of the bicycle body, or a reflector c of a special shape (not shown in the figure) is attached to the rear of the saddle. However, the former has structural difficulties such as the arm fitting b protruding backwards, which is dangerous, and the latter requires a reflector to be attached to the saddle. This had the disadvantage that the reflector was easily covered by the clothes of the rider, and the reflector got in the way when grasping the rear of the saddle to lift or support the vehicle body.

The present invention was developed to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and by using the reflector attachment as the member connecting the lower ends of the shock absorbing coil springs provided on the left and right sides of the rear of the saddle, it is possible to easily replace the standard product. It is an object of the present invention to provide a reflector attachment device that allows a reflector to be attached, does not have the risk of being hidden by clothing, etc., and allows the rear part of a saddle to be gripped without any trouble.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2 to 6. In the figure, 1 is the rear wheel of the bicycle, 2 is the backhawk of the bicycle frame, 3 is the vertical pipe, 4 is the seat post, 5 is the saddle body, and 6 is the saddle frame, which is fixed to the seat post 4 via the connecting fitting 7. There is. Reference numeral 8 denotes buffer coil springs provided on the left and right sides of the rear lower part of the saddle body 5, the lower ends of which are connected to the rear end of the saddle frame 6 by bolts 9 and nuts 10, respectively.

Further, 11 is a standard reflector, 11a is a mounting bolt protruding from the back of the reflector 11, and 12 is a nut of the bolt 11a.

In the present invention, there are bolt insertion holes 13 for the bolts 9 on the left and right sides, and a bolt insertion hole 1 for the mounting bolt 11a of the reflector 11 in the center.
4 provided in the front-back direction is attached between the lower ends of the left and right shock-absorbing coil springs 8 using bolts 9 and nuts 10, and the attachment bolts 11a of the reflector 11 are inserted into the bolt insertion holes 14 in the center. is inserted and fixed with the nut 12.

3 and 4 show an embodiment in which the mounting fixture 15 is formed by bending wire material, while FIGS. 5 and 6 show another embodiment in which the mounting fixture 15 is formed from a T-shaped metal plate by drilling holes at each end and bending the central protrusion downward.

As mentioned above, the reflector mount 15 of the present invention
can also serve as a crossing member (connecting member) between the lower ends of the buffer coil springs 8 provided on the left and right sides of the rear lower part of the saddle body 5, so the number of parts does not increase and processing and installation are extremely simple. Moreover, it has the advantage that it can be equipped with a standard reflector 11 that does not have any problems in terms of standards. In addition, the mounting position of the reflector 11 does not have to be hidden by the clothes of the rider, which contributes to driving safety, and does not interfere in any way when gripping the rear of the saddle as shown in Figure 2. This effect can be obtained.
