AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Conventional bicycle seats fail to adequately relieve pressure and shear forces on the ischial and pubic areas, leading to pain and discomfort, especially during long rides, due to the use of materials with memory that apply relentless pressure and lack of lateral movement to neutralize shear forces.

Method used

A bicycle seat design featuring cushioning pads with fluid-filled cavities that allow lateral and forward/rearward movement, combined with a rear shelf that elevates to distribute weight and reduce pressure on the ischial region, providing pressure relief and minimizing shear forces through the use of flexible, elastic casing materials that conform to the rider's anatomy.

Benefits of technology

Significantly reduces pressure and shear forces, resulting in substantial pain relief and improved comfort for riders, with a 75% reduction in perceived forces at the ischial and pubic areas, allowing for longer rides without discomfort.

Abstract

A bicycle seat (10) has a bicycle saddle with a forward end (15a) and a rearward end (15b), the saddle having an ischial region (22). One or more cushioning pads (40) are placed on the saddle in the ischial region. The cushioning pads have an upper surface, with the cushioning pads being connected to the saddle in a manner that enables the upper surface of the cushioning pads to move either from side to side with respect to the saddle during pedaling, or forward and rearward with respect to the saddle during pedaling, or both from side to side and forward and rearward during pedaling.
