Problems solved by technology

[0009] The prior art method described above has not proven to be entirely satisfactory as it takes into account limited anatomical features and does not allow the selection of saddles with additional anthropometrically optimized features other than maximum width

Embodiment Construction

[0040] figure 1 A method for the optimized selection of a bicycle saddle from a population P of different saddles, which are provided according to specific geometrical and / or functional characteristics, is schematically shown.

[0041] As used herein, the term "offer" and its derivatives mean that a saddle has been previously prepared and is physically available in a store or other establishment for immediate delivery to the user, or is merely offered in a catalog for Delivery to order.

[0042] Such as Figure 12 As shown, each saddle in population P generally has a substantially rigid shell T (with pads (not shown) associated therewith) and a protective cover C defining a seating surface.

[0043] The housing T with the shroud X defines a longitudinal axis L and has a typical plan shape defining an enlarged rear portion R where the saddle has its greatest width, and a tapered front portion F of minimum width or nose. The front part F is connected to the rear part R by a ...

Abstract

A method for optimized selection of a bicycle saddle from a population of different bicycle saddles includes the steps of providing a database composed of a set of physical elements corresponding to the population of different saddles, subdividing the set into a plurality of subsets according to predetermined geometrical and / or functional characteristics, collecting a plurality of anatomical parameters of a user to obtain corresponding data, and selecting one of the subsets having corresponding optimized characteristics according to the data. The geometrical and / or functional characteristics are selected from the group that includes the maximum plan width, the presence and dimension of holes and / or superficial hollows, and the plan shape of the saddles. The parameters are collected on the user in an upright position and with the legs stretched. A system for anthropometric determination of one or more optimized bicycle saddles.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention finds application in the field of anthropometric support devices in general and, in particular, relates to a method of optimizing the selection of a bicycle saddle based on anthropometric data. [0002] The invention also relates to a system for carrying out the above method using suitable equipment and equipment. Background technique [0003] A large number of saddles are known on the market, differing in geometrical, structural and / or functional characteristics. [0004] Therefore, it is important that the user is able to select the most suitable saddle based not only on preferred seating conditions, but also on his / her own anatomical and anthropometric characteristics, so that the saddle can ensure optimum comfort and achieve desired performance. [0005] Methods of selecting an optimized saddle according to the anatomy of a particular user are known, eg from US 7,284,336. [0006] In this known method, the ischial distance ...
