JP5208721B2 - Bicycle saddle mounting device - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to an attachment device for attaching a saddle for a bicycle to a saddle post. More specifically, during pedaling, the inner thigh is strongly contacted with the side surface of the saddle every time it is rotated. In addition, the present invention relates to a bicycle saddle mounting device configured so that force is easily applied to a leg during pedaling.

The conventional bicycle saddle is attached by mounting brackets equipped with two saddle rails formed on the lower surface of the saddle on the upper end of the saddle post, as disclosed in JP-A-2007-326570. The distance between the saddle rails in the mounting portion is set to 43 mm for balance.
JP 2007-326570 A

  For this reason, when the saddle is viewed in plan, the width of the saddle needs to be formed larger than the width where the saddle rail is hidden, and thus has the following disadvantages.

1. The bracket for attaching the saddle is located just in the middle part of the saddle, but this middle part hits the inner part of the rider's thigh, which causes the inner thigh to rub against the side of the saddle when pedaling. At the same time, rubbing marks remain on the pants. This is especially true for fat riders, so when riding a long distance, pedaling is done with the knees extended.

2. However, such a posture is unnatural, and in the case of a bicycle with a drop handle, since the forward leaning posture is strong, it is painful to pedal with the knees extended and adjusted.

3. In addition, when the speed is high, the knees are squeezed forward, and if the saddle is wide, rubbing of the inner thigh becomes large even in such a case.

4). In addition, in the case of female riders, there is a sense of resistance per se by opening and kneeling.

  The present invention is provided in view of such points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a saddle mounting device that can reduce rubbing of the inner thigh and can be easily pedaled with a knee-squeezed posture. That is.

In order to achieve the above object, a bicycle saddle mounting apparatus according to claim 1 is a saddle post.
A saddle post fitting attached to the top of the saddle, and a saddle clamp fitting formed by clamping a clamp portion on the lower surface to sandwich and clamp two left and right saddle rails between the upper surface of the saddle post fitting, and the saddle In a bicycle saddle mounting apparatus comprising a bolt for fixing a saddle clamp bracket to a post bracket, the interval between the clamp portions of the left and right saddle rails is set in a range of 27 mm to 31 mm, and the saddle rail is within this interval range. It is characterized in that it is configured so that a saddle with a set interval can be used.

As described above, the present invention can use a saddle with a small width in which the width of the saddle rail is set to 27 mm to 31 mm, and thus has the following effects.

1. When pedaling, the inner thigh rub is reduced or eliminated, ensuring a comfortable riding.

2. Since rubbing of the inner thigh is reduced or eliminated, no trace of rubbing is left on the pants.

3. Since the rubbing of the inner thigh is reduced or eliminated, pedaling can be performed with the knees held down, so that easy and powerful pedaling can be performed.

4). It is especially welcomed by women because it allows pedaling with a knee-down position.

5. By adjusting the clamp width of the saddle mounting bracket to the width of the saddle rail and using a mounting device having the same mounting structure on the saddle post as the conventional mounting section, the conventional 43 mm wide saddle can be reduced to 27 mm of the present invention. Can be used by replacing it with a saddle with a saddle rail of ~ 31mm width.

The embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 is an explanatory view of a bicycle with a saddle attached using the attachment device according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is an explanatory view of a saddle rail and a mounting bracket, FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the entire saddle, and FIG. It is explanatory drawing of the state which attached.

  In each of the above drawings, 1 is a bicycle, 2 is a saddle, and the width W of the clamp portion of the saddle 2 on the saddle rails 3 and 3a is 30 mm. Reference numeral 4 denotes a saddle clamp fitting, and the width of the clamp portions 5 and 5a of the saddle clamp fitting 4 is set to 30 mm. 5a. Reference numeral 7 denotes a saddle post metal fitting attached to the top of the saddle post 6, and the saddle clamp metal fitting 4 is fixed to the saddle post metal fitting 7 by bolts 8 and 8a.

  The saddle post metal fitting 7 of this embodiment is dedicated to a 30 mm wide saddle rail, but may also be used as a conventional 43 mm wide saddle clamp metal fitting.
