Description

自行車座墊
本發明係與自行車有關,特別是關於一種供自行車使用之座墊。
按自行車座墊通常係透過一夾具裝設於自行車之座管,以供騎乘者乘坐或倚靠,而習知之座墊一般而言包含有一基座,以及一佈置該基座上之彈性層。該基座由於係用來支撐整體負載,因此通常係以硬質之材料製成。而也就因為如此,當騎乘者乘坐於其上而進行踩踏動作時,該騎乘者之胯部會因與該硬質基座之周邊來回摩擦而產生不舒適感甚或受傷。
為了解決前述習知自行車座墊之缺失,美國第8,919,875號專利案提供了一種改良基座,該基座之特徵即是在其邊緣佈設若干條狀開孔,用以使該基座之邊緣具有較佳之彈性。此等改良雖然可以解決前述習知座墊之缺失,但是其缺點是會破壞該基座邊緣之強度,換言之,該基座邊緣可能會因開孔而崩裂。
基此,一種基座具有彈性邊緣而且保有一定強度之自行車座墊,仍有待被提出。
緣是,本發明所提供之自行車座墊包含有一基座,一外環件以及一墊體。該基座係以一第一種塑膠材料製成,具有一頂面,一底面以及一沿著其外輪廓延伸之周緣。該外環件係以彈性較該第一種塑膠材料為佳的第二種塑 膠材料製成,且與該基座之周緣連接在一起,該外環件具有一身部以及一堤邊,該堤邊係自該身部之外側端往該基座頂面之方向彎折並延伸一預定高度,用以與該身部形成一容置空間。該墊體具有一上表面,一下表面以及一外緣,該上表面供與使用者接觸,該下表面與該基座頂面搭接,該外緣被收容於該容置空間內。
本發明所提供之自行車座墊之另一特徵是該外環件係以其身部之頂面與該基座之頂面位於同一延伸面之方式搭接在一起。
本發明所提供之自行車座墊之又一特徵是該外環件係以其身部之底面與該基座之底面位於同一延伸面之方式搭接在一起。
本發明所提供之自行車座墊之再一特徵是於該基座的周緣佈置一自該底面開始往該頂面凹入的第一連接區,該外環件之內側端佈置有一與該第一連接區互補之第二連接區,該基座與該外環件組合時,該第一及第二連接區係相互搭接在一起。
以下茲舉一較佳實施例並配合圖式,對本發明自行車座墊做進一步的說明。

請參閱各圖式,本發明所提供之自行車座墊之一較佳實施例如圖號10所示,具有一基座20,一外環件30以及一墊體40。
基座20係以一第一種塑膠材料製成,於本實施例,該第一種塑膠材料為包含有商品名為PA11之尼龍材料以及30%之碳纖維所合成之塑膠材料。基座20具有一頂面22,一底面24以及一沿著其外輪廓延伸之周緣26。在形狀上,基座20具有一窄長的前端部202,以及一寬廣的後端部204。周緣26佈置有一自底面24開始往頂面22方向凹入的第一連接區262。
外環件30係以彈性較該第一種塑膠材料為佳的第二種塑膠材料製成,於本實施例,該第二種塑膠材料為一種商品名為PEBAX之尼龍材料。外環件30具有一身部32以及一堤邊34。更詳細的說,堤邊34具有一第一段部342以及第二段部344。第一段部342係對應基座20之前端部202,而且係自身部32之外側端往基座20頂面22之方向彎折並延伸一預定高度,用以與身部32形成一第一容置空間50,如第3圖所示。第二段部342係對應基座20之後端部204,而且係自身部32之外側端往外延伸一預定寬度後再向基座20頂面22之方向彎折並延伸一預定高度,用以與身部32形成一第二容置空間60,如第4圖所示。另外,外環件30之內側端佈置有一與第一連接區262互補之第二連接區302。外環件30與基座20係藉著第一及第二連接區262、302相互搭接而組合在一起。在製造上,基座20與外環件30可以前述所述之塑膠材料二次射出成型結合在一起。
墊體40係以塑膠發泡體製成,用以提供坐乘時之舒適度。墊體40之形狀係對應基座20之形狀,具有一上表面42,一下表面44以及一外周緣46。上表面42供與使用者接觸,下表面44與基座20頂面22搭接,外周緣46係分別被收容 於第一容置空間50與第二容置空間60內。於本實施例,外周緣46係收束成具一預定厚度,用以容易地被嵌置於各該容置空間內。
由前述的說明可知,基座20主要係以PA11之尼龍材料製成,而外環件30則係以彈性較PA11尼龍材料為佳由於PEBAX尼龍材料製成。換言之,基座20之周邊被彈性較佳之外環件30所包覆,因此,一來可以解決習知自行車座墊之缺失,二者則不會有基座周邊強度被破壞之問題。
