Embodiment Construction

[0039] With reference to the above figures, the seating structure of the present invention is generally indicated by the reference number 1, which seating structure may be connected in a manner known per se to rails or similar supports (not shown) for mounting to a movable or fixed frame (also Not shown) bicycle saddle structure. Nevertheless, it will be appreciated that the seating structure 1 may be configured as a seat, the seating surface of a chair, or any other body support.

[0040] The structure 1 may also be associated with an upper cover (not shown, but known per se), possibly with a layer of padding or other elastic material for improved seating comfort.

[0041] According to the present invention, if figure 1 As shown in , the seat structure comprises a load-bearing shell 2 having an elongated front portion 3 defining a longitudinal axis X, a widened rear portion 4 and at least one other part of the shell 2 formed very close to its outer periphery 6. than the def...

Abstract

A seating structure, particularly for bicycle saddles, comprises a load-bearing shell (2) with at least one differently deformable portion (5) proximate to its outer periphery (6), a substantially annular protective rim (7) with a first portion (8) formed of a first material of predetermined elastic rigidity and at least one second portion (9) formed of a second base material having a different elastic rigidity from that of said first material. The second portion (9) is located at said at least one differently deformable portion (5) and is separated from said first portion (8) to define at least one substantially transverse end wall (10) facing towards and distinct from at least one respective end wall (1 1 ) of said first portion (8). A method is provided for making a seating structure asabove.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention has general application in the technical field of sports and leisure accessories, and in particular relates to a seat structure, such as a seat structure for a bicycle saddle, and a method of manufacture thereof. Background technique [0002] Human seating structures, such as chairs, seats, bicycle saddles, etc. are known to consist of a load-bearing structure comprising a user support shell designed to be attached to a support frame. [0003] The basic purpose of the shell is to support a seated user while ensuring comfort. The housing should also have a particularly low weight in order to be easy to ride on. [0004] According to prior art solutions, the casing may consist of one or more sheets of composite material joined together by gluing or molding of resins, followed by curing and / or polymerisation. [0005] A similar shell type has a substantially uniform elasticity throughout its structure and is therefore not readily a...
