Definitions
- the invention relates to the pneumatically cushioned saddle for bicycles
- the saddle with pneumatic suspension according to the invention displayed in Figs 1 to 29 in the basic performance, consists of the solid skeleton 2 of the saddle with the upper sitting layer and a flat bag 3 is placed inside the lower space of the saddle skeleton 2 in such a way, that the elastic part of the bag 3 is in the middle part of the skeleton 2 and the compression space of the bag 3 with at least one valve 31 is prevailingly m the rear part of the skeleton 2 and from the lower side the saddle skeleton 2 is provided at least with one vertical pillar 22, where the pillars 22 are arranged in such a way, that one vertical pillar 22 is adapted the front part of the skeleton 2 and two vertical pillars 22 are in the rear part ofthe skeleton 2 placed along the sides of the lower inner space of the skeleton 2, and in this way the hoop 1 is slidingly guided by the guides 15 on the vertical pillars 22, where the carrier surface 14 of the hoop 1 is placed among the guides 15 and leans against the lower wall of the elastic part of the
- the performance with the upper attachment of the pillars 22 into the skeleton 2 is displayed in a simplified way in Figs 1 to 4
- the lower ends of the pillars 22 are ended by caps 23 Assembling the skeleton 2 with the hoop 1 an empty space appears in the back where the bag 3 can be inserted in
- the compression part of the bag 3 is placed from the lower side in the box 4 which is attached to the back side ofthe lower space ofthe skeleton 2, whereas the box 4 has the vertical low wall 42 in the front part over which the bag 3 is folded in such a way, that when the carrier surface 14 of the hoop 1 is pressed, the perfect generating ofthe bag 3 is ensured, and the space of the elastic part ofthe bag 3 is connected with the compression space ofthe bag 3 with the space over the vertical low wall 42
- the pillar 22 is an independent body, the upper end of which is attached to the skeleton 2
- the guiding surface of the pillar 22 can be formed by the tube 27
- the lower end ofthe pillar 22 is
- FIGs 8 to 12 One of the possible performances of the saddle with pillars 22 forming one unit with the skeleton 2 is in Figs 8 to 12, where a ring of upper elastic stop 6 is placed on the upper end ofthe pillar 22 and the lower end of the pillar 22 is ended with a cap 23 attached with a pillar bolt 24 and the lower elastic stop 5 is on the upper side ofthe cap 23
- two parallel clamping rods 11 are a part ofthe hoop 1 in such a way, that in the front part they transit the shape into the front bifurcation of the hoop 1 and in the rear part they transit the shape into rear bifurcation ofthe hoop 1, where the hoop 1 can be reinforced with the transversal nb 12
- the flat spnng 7 which makes the clamping to the saddle tube easy is on the lower part of the hoop 1 m the space adapted for the clamping to the saddle tube and is attached with at least one spring expanding clamp 71
- the box 4 can be provided with at least one hook 41,
- the performance with the reinforcing elements is in Figs 15 to 21 , where the guiding surface of the pillar 22 is formed by the tube 27 and the skeleton 2 is provided with the skeleton reinforcement 26 in such a way, that is sealled in the plastic wall of the skeleton 2
- the skeleton reinforcement 26 reaches to the space of the connection of the pillars 22 with the skeleton 2 and the tubes 27 are with their upper ends adapted in the skeleton reinforcement 26 At least the upper ends ofthe tubes 27 and the skeleton reinforcement 26 are sealled m the plastic skeleton 2
- the bent ends of the clamping rods 11 are fixed to the hoop reinforcement 16 by sealhng together with the hoop reinforcement 16 into the plastic hoop 1 and the middle parts of the clamping rods 11 are adapted for the clamping to the saddle tube
- the skeleton reinforcement 26 respectively the hoop reinforcement 16 is provided with onfices for a mutual connection of the layers of plastics which surround the reinforcement from the both sides
- the dust seals 8 are
- the skeleton reinforcement 26 is reinforced in Figs 22 and 23 by providing with a double reinforcement 29 In Figs 24 and 25 the skeleton reinforcement 26 is led to the space of the connection of the plastic pillars 22 with the skeleton 2 In Fig 26 the front respectively rear bent ends ofthe clamping rods 11 are connected only with little hoop reinforcements 16 sealled in the plastic hoop 1
- the independent bodies of the pillars 22 united with the skeleton 2 into one unit are in Figs 27 to 29
- the pillar 22 is attached to the skeleton 2 in such a way, that the upper end of the pillar 22 is provided with a collar 25 on which the pin 21 with the thread is attached with which it is screwed on into the skeleton 2
- the pillar 22 fits with the collar 25 on the lower side of the skeleton 2
- the pin 21 goes through the skeleton 2 and o the upper side ofthe skeleton 2 a head is formed on the end of the pin 21 in a way, that the overlapping end of the pin 21 is enlarged with the aid of press and temperature
- the end of the pin 21 screwed on into the skeleton 2 can be also secured with this enlargement
- the joints can be also glued List of the refference characters
