Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of saddles, in particular to a tipless saddle with a pelvic support device. Background Art

[0002] There are two types of bicycles commonly found on the market: sports bicycles and leisure bicycles. Figure 1 The sports bicycle shown is suitable for riders using Figure 3 aerodynamic posture as shown or Figure 4 The aggressive riding position shown in the figure has the rider's upper body leaning heavily or moderately, with the spine angled 10 to 30 degrees above the horizontal plane. Fig.10 The aerodynamic posture shown and Fig.11 When riding in the aggressive position shown, use Figure 7 The saddle with a forwardly extending elongated nose is used to fit and support the Fig. 9 For example, Figure 2 For a leisure bicycle as shown in FIG, a rider usually takes Figure 5 Relaxation posture as shown or Figure 6 The fitness or leisure riding posture shown is that the upper body is slightly tilted or upright, the spine is at an angle of about 60 degrees to 90 degrees to the horizontal plane, and the rider is Fig.12 When riding in the upright position shown, use Figure 8 The wider comfort saddle shown is used to support Fig. 9 The ischium is shown.

[0003] Although bicycle saddle noses are designed to accommodate sporty and aggressive postures, they also suffer from various disadvantages:

[0004] (1) Saddle noses put pressure on sensitive areas, especially the perineum. This pressure can cause discomfort, numbness, or even pain in sensitive areas during long rides. Those who ride for long periods of time or those with certain anatomical structures are more likely to experience discomfort in this area.

[0005] (2) The saddle nose restricts the rider's movements and makes it more difficult for them to change positions on the saddle. This restriction affects riding comfort and may cause additional stress on certain parts of the rider's body.

[0006] (3) Anatomical differences between the sexes can affect the comfort and fit of a saddle nose. Some people, especially women, may find that a traditional saddle with a protruding saddle nose does not fit their body structure, causing additional pressure or discomfort.

[0007] (4) The nose of the saddle may rub against the inner thigh, especially during more aggressive or aerodynamic riding styles. This friction may cause skin irritation, abrasions, or saddle sores, especially if proper placement, adjustment, or protection is not used.

[0008] Therefore, choosing a saddle that suits the rider's specific needs, considering factors such as saddle width, saddle shape, and whether there is a saddle nose, can help mitigate these potential shortcomings and improve the rider's overall riding experience, especially for recreational cyclists, where a comfortable ride is of paramount importance.

[0009] On the other hand, pelvic support is crucial for bicycle saddles because it directly affects the rider's riding comfort, stability and other overall riding performance. It is well known that proper pelvic support helps to evenly distribute the rider's weight on the saddle, reduce pressure on sensitive parts, and prevent discomfort or pain caused by long-term riding. Proper pelvic support helps reduce the risk of numbness, chafing or saddle sores in sensitive parts.

[0010] Additionally, pelvic support enhances rider stability by providing a solid connection between rider and bike. It helps maintain proper body positioning, balance, and control, especially during more intense rides or on challenging terrain. A stable pelvic foundation allows riders to pedal and maneuver the bike effectively.

[0011] refer to Figure 8 , conventional comfort saddles have wider seats for better pelvic support, which promotes efficient power transfer from the rider's legs to the pedals. When the pelvis is properly supported, the rider's legs, hips and torso are optimally aligned, which promotes more efficient pedaling and maximizes power output. However, the front portion of conventional comfort saddles, the nose, not only has the above disadvantages, but also has an adverse effect on pelvic support and cannot maintain proper spinal alignment while riding. The front end of the comfort saddle greatly hinders the even distribution of the rider's weight and cannot minimize excessive pressure on the waist through the pelvis.

[0012] Providing proper pelvic support for riders is at the heart of saddle manufacturers’ design and configuration, which helps riders reduce fatigue and improve endurance. By providing stability, comfort and efficient power transfer, especially for leisure bikes, fitness equipment and other equipment, a saddle with good pelvic support can enable riders to maintain a more relaxed and efficient riding posture, minimizing unnecessary muscle tension and fatigue.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations may be made without departing from the spirit and scope disclosed in the claims of the present invention, and that these modifications and variations all fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.

[0085] Reference Figures 13 to 24 , shows an embodiment of the present invention, a tipless saddle 1 with a pelvic support device 100, wherein the tipless saddle 1 includes a saddle body 10 and a base 20 made of a rigid material such as molded plastic, nylon, carbon fiber, etc., wherein the saddle body 10 is fixed on the base 20.

[0086] In order to install the tipless saddle 1 on a bicycle, the tipless saddle 1 also includes the following Fig. 20 , Fig.21 and Fig.24 The guide rail frame 30 shown is configured to be installed as shown in FIG. Fig.24 The saddle clamp 40 is shown for fastening to the seat post of a bicycle or sports bike.

[0087] See also Figures 13 to 16In this embodiment, the saddle body 10 includes a front pelvic support portion 11, a central groove 12 extending from the rear end 101 of the saddle body 10 to the front pelvic support portion 11, and a first buttocks support surface 13 and a second buttocks support surface 14 symmetrically extending gradually from the first longitudinal side surface 121 and the second longitudinal side surface 122 of the central groove 12 to the upper side. The first buttocks support surface 13 has a first arc-shaped fixing surface 131, and the second buttocks support surface 14 has a second arc-shaped fixing surface 141. The first arc-shaped fixing surface 131 and the second arc-shaped fixing surface 141 extend symmetrically and obliquely upward to the two top ends of the first side surface 102 and the second side surface 103, respectively. The front pelvic support portion 11, the first buttocks support surface 13, the second buttocks support surface 14, the first thigh support surface 15 and the second thigh support surface 16 integrally form a pelvic support device 100 of the non-pointed saddle 1.

[0088] See also Fig.17 , Fig.18 , Fig. 22 and Fig.23 In this embodiment, if Fig. 22 As shown, the saddle body 10 includes a seat body 10A made of a foam material, gel, gel foam and other cushioning and filling materials, and a seat cover 10B made of leather, nylon, artificial leather, spandex and other materials. It is understandable that, although the saddle body 10 does not need to have a cushioning effect, the saddle body 10 can be a hard shell made of leather, plastic, nylon or carbon fiber material to include the aforementioned front pelvic support portion 11, the central groove 12, the first buttocks support surface 13, the second buttocks support surface 14, the first thigh support surface 15 and the second thigh support surface 16, and the bottom of the hard shell forms a base 20 for mounting the guide rail frame 30 on the base 20.

[0089] According to the present embodiment, the seat body 10A has a bottom groove 10A1, and the shape and configuration of the base 20 are suitable for being attached therein. Fig.23 An example of such a filler seat body 10A having a bottom groove 10A1 that can be used as the seat body 10A of the present invention is shown. The seat body 10A includes a front pelvic support portion 11, a central groove 12, a first buttocks support surface 13, a second buttocks support surface 14, and a first thigh support surface 15, a second thigh support surface 16. After the base 20 is fixed in the bottom groove 10A1 of the seat body 10A by adhesion or the like, the seat cover 10B is further fixed around the outer edges of the seat body 10A and the base 20 in a snug manner, as shown in FIG. Fig. 22 shown.

[0090] See also Fig.18 , Fig.21 and Fig. 22In order to install the guide rail frame 30 on the base 20, the base 20 further includes a pair of front mounting members 21 and a pair of rear mounting members 22 integrally provided thereon, and a fixing edge 23 fixed to the base 20 by screws to cover the peripheral edge of the base 20 and the peripheral edge 10B1 of the seat cover 10B. Fig.21 As shown, the seat cover 10B is further secured in place.

[0091] See also Figures 13 to 17 The saddle body 10 is configured to have a butterfly shape, including a rear end 101, a first side 102, a second side 103 and a front pelvic support portion 11. The overall size of the saddle body 10 has at least a wide enough lateral width (the distance between the first side 102 and the second side 103, ranging from 15 to 22 cm, preferably 19 cm) and a long enough longitudinal length (the distance between the rear end 101 and the front pelvic support portion 11, ranging from 25 to 35 cm, preferably 32 cm) to support the ischial bones of the human pelvis of riders of different ages and body types, such as children, men and women. The front pelvic support portion 11 is provided to support the ischial tuberosity, the ischial ramus and the rear part of the ischial ramus of the rider's pelvis in a relaxed and comfortable riding posture. The saddle body 10 provided in this embodiment eliminates the provision of a saddle nose or a saddle tip to fundamentally avoid pressure on the rider's pudendal nerve and artery and the testicles and scrotum of a male rider.

[0092] The central groove 12 is located below the pubic arch and gluteal groove of the rider sitting on the saddle body 10, and has a set width ranging from 2 to 6 cm, preferably 4 cm, to avoid excessive pressure on the rider's pubic arch when the rider sits on the saddle body 10 and to ensure air circulation. Figures 16 to 18 As shown, preferably, the central groove 12 has an arc-shaped bottom surface 120, which is conducive to air circulation, and the first longitudinal side surface 121 and the second longitudinal side surface 122 of the central groove 12 extend smoothly to the first buttocks supporting surface 13 and the second buttocks supporting surface 14 respectively. Fig.16 As shown, the central groove 12 also has a rear end opening 123, a front end opening 124 and a central receiving space 125, and the widths of the rear end opening 123, the front end opening 124 and the central receiving space 125 are greater than the minimum width of the central groove 12 to form a waveform on the first longitudinal side 121 and the second longitudinal side 122, so that the central groove 12 forms an airflow channel with turbulent airflow, thereby enhancing air circulation.

[0093] The first buttocks supporting surface 13 and the second buttocks supporting surface 14 are symmetrical curved surfaces, which gradually extend upward from the first longitudinal side surface 121 and the second longitudinal side surface 122 of the central groove 12 to the first side surface 102 and the second side surface 103 of the saddle body 10. Fig.17The height H1 from the bottom surface 104 of the saddle body 10 to the top of the first side surface 102 and the second side surface 103 is higher than the height H2 from the bottom surface 104 to the top of the first longitudinal side surface 121 and the second longitudinal side surface 122, thereby forming the first wing support 10-2 and the second wing support 10-3 of the saddle body 10, and the first wing support 10-2, the second wing support 10-3 and the middle support 10-1 are integrally combined to form the saddle body 10.

[0094] Reference Fig.17 The curvature of the first hip support surface 13 and the second hip support surface 14 is configured to match the curvature of the hip R1 of the rider R when sitting on the saddle body 10. Therefore, the first side surface 102 and the second side surface 103 are two elevated side supports, forming two curved first arc-shaped fixing surfaces 131 and second arc-shaped fixing surfaces 141 of the first hip support surface 13 and the second hip support surface 14, and the first arc-shaped fixing surfaces 131 and the second arc-shaped fixing surfaces 141 extend obliquely upward to the two top ends of the first side surface 102 and the second side surface 103, respectively, for reinforcing the first wing support 10-2 and the second wing support 10-3 in an obliquely upward manner to prevent the first wing support 10-2 and the second wing support 10-3 from sagging under pressure, thereby providing an upward and inward supporting force F (see Fig.17 The upper and lower arms of the rider R are connected to the upper and lower arms (as shown by the arrows) to support the hips R1 and the hips of the rider R, thereby significantly ensuring the riding comfort of the rider R.

[0095] Reference Figures 13 to 19 The front pelvic support portion 11 has a first protruding ridge 111 and a second protruding ridge 112. The first protruding ridge 111 is formed by the front part of the central groove 12 and the front part of the first hip support surface 13, and the second protruding ridge 112 is formed by the front part of the central groove 12 and the front part of the second hip support surface 14. The front end opening 124 of the central groove 12 extends vertically downward to form a front end groove 126, dividing the front part of the saddle body 10 into the first protruding ridge 111 and the second protruding ridge 112. That is, the first protruding ridge 111 and the second protruding ridge 112 are located at the front end opening 124 and the front end groove 126, and gradually protrude from the first hip support surface 13 and the second hip support surface 14, that is, the first wing support 10-2 and the second wing support 10-3, respectively. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first protruding ridge 111 and the second protruding ridge 112 are provided to restrict the comfortable and stable sitting posture of the rider R, so as to ensure that the front pelvic support portion 11 can effectively support the rider's pelvis, and at the same time overcome the shortcomings of the tip part of the traditional saddle. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the front pelvic support portion 11 of the first hip support surface 13 and the second hip support surface 14, the first front portion 132 of the two inclined and curved first hip support surfaces 13, and the second front portion 142 of the first hip support surface 13 integrally form the pelvic support device of the tipless saddle 1 of the present invention, see Fig.15 , Fig.16 and Fig.18 .

[0096] like Figures 17 to 19 , Figure 25 to Figure 27 and Fig.28 As shown, when the rider R sits on the saddle body 10 in a comfortable and relaxed posture, the saddle body 10 includes Fig.25 The upright posture shown, Fig.26 The slightly reclined posture shown is similar to Fig. 27 In the middle tilted posture shown, the rider's buttocks R1 are supported by the first buttocks support surface 13 and the second buttocks support surface 14 of the saddle body 10, that is, supported by the first wing support 10-2 and the second wing support 10-3. The first protruding ridge 111 and the second protruding ridge 112 provide restrictions on the rider's riding posture, so that the front pelvic support portion 11 is formed and configured to support the rider's ischial tuberosity, ischial ramus and the rear part of the lower ischial ramus.

[0097] Removing the tip / nose portion of the saddle and retaining the front opening 124 and the front groove 126 of the central groove 12 can prevent the traditional saddle from exerting pressure on the testicles and scrotum of the male rider, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the arrangement of the front pelvic support portion 11 and the first buttocks support surface 13 and the second buttocks support surface 14 of this embodiment substantially provides the rider R with a comfortable and stable sitting posture, which is particularly suitable for comfortable and relaxing riding.

[0098] In order to safely and stably mount the saddle body 10 on the seat post of a bicycle, fitness equipment or the like, see Fig. 20 , Fig.21 and Fig.24 The guide rail frame 30 includes a first guide rail 31, a second guide rail 32, a first rear ring 311, a second rear ring 321, a first front ring 312 and a second front ring 322. The first rear ring 311 and the second rear ring 321 are arranged at intervals and fixed by the first suspension unit 41 and the second suspension unit 42, respectively, so as to be installed to the rear of the base 20, and the first front ring 312 and the second front ring 322 are arranged at intervals and fixed by the first front fixing unit 51 and the first front fixing unit 52, respectively, so as to be installed to the front of the base 20. The first guide rail 31 and the second guide rail 32 extend in parallel between the first rear ring 311, the second rear ring 321, the first front ring 312 and the second front ring 322, and are used to install the saddle clamp 40. Fig.24 As shown, the saddle clamp 40 is used to secure to the seat post of a bicycle, exercise equipment or the like.

[0099] Since the saddle body 10 is shorter than conventional saddles and the saddle tip / nose is eliminated, the rail frame 30 of the present invention is specifically configured to provide a balanced and stable support for the saddle clamp 40 so as to mount the saddle to the seat post A at the center of gravity of the saddle body 10, see Figure 1 and Fig.24 The balance and stability of the guide rail frame 30 is achieved by bending the metal rod 300 to form the first rail 31, the second rail 32, the first rear ring 311, the second rear ring 321, the first front ring 312 and the second front ring 322. Fig. 20 and Fig.24 , both ends of the metal rod 300 are bent outward to form two C-shaped first front rings 312 and second front rings 322. The first front ring 312 and the second front ring 322 are fixed to the base 20 by tightening the first front fixing unit 51 and the second front fixing unit 52 (in one embodiment, the first front fixing unit 51 and the second front fixing unit 52 are bolts), and then bent downward to a predetermined height, generally the height of the first suspension unit 41 or the second suspension unit 42, and bent backward to form the first guide rail 31 and the second guide rail 32, and the first guide rail 31 is parallel to the second guide rail 32. The middle part of the metal rod 300 is bent to form the rear guide rail 33, which is perpendicular to the first guide rail 31 and the second guide rail 32 and extends between the first suspension unit 41 and the second suspension unit 42. The two rear ends of the first guide rail 31 and the second guide rail 32 and the two ends of the rear guide rail 33 are further bent and extended outward to form a first rear ring 311 and a second rear ring 321, respectively. The first rear ring 311 and the second rear ring 321 are fixed to the first suspension unit 41 and the second suspension unit 42 by bolts and nuts. Among them, the first rear ring 311, the second rear ring 321 and the first front ring 312, the second front ring 322 extend outward and are formed on the two side positions of the first guide rail 31 and the second guide rail 32, so that the length of the first guide rail 31 and the second guide rail 32 is minimized, but is long enough to install the saddle clamp 40 across the first guide rail 31 and the second guide rail 32. At the same time, the guide rail frame 30 provides two front fulcrums to support the front pelvic support part 11, and two rear fulcrums to support the first wing support 10-2 and the second wing support 10-3, so that the saddle body 10 can be stably fixed and installed on the seat tube.

[0100] Ginseng Fig.30, shows a tipless saddle according to another embodiment of the present invention. The guide rail frame 30 further includes a track bridge support 34 rigidly fixed between the first guide rail 31 and the second guide rail 32. The track bridge support 34 can significantly reinforce the first guide rail 31 and the second guide rail 32, and ensure the distance between the first guide rail 31 and the second guide rail 32, thereby further supporting the first front ring 312, the second front ring 322, the first rear ring 311 and the second rear ring 321 to form a rigid configuration, which is convenient for fixing the first front fixing unit 51, the first front fixing unit 52 and the rear mounting member 22.

[0101] Preferably, see Fig.29 The track bridge support 34 has a plate-like structure, including two oppositely arranged first sides 341, a second side 342, and a third side 343 adjacent to the first side 341 and the second side 342. The first side 341 is attached to the rear position of the first guide rail 31, the second side 342 is attached to the rear position of the second guide rail 32, and the third side 343 is attached to the rear guide rail 33. The saddle clamp 40 is installed between the first guide rail 31 and the second guide rail 32, and is used to install the tipless saddle 1 on the seat post of a bicycle, fitness equipment, etc. Therefore, through the track bridge support 34, the first guide rail 31, the second guide rail 32 and the rear guide rail 33 are connected to each other to form a rigid body to rigidly and stably support the saddle body 10, especially when an overweight user rides on the tipless saddle 1.

[0102] Since the tipless saddle greatly reduces the lever torque of the front end relative to the seat tube of the saddle clamp 40 on which the tipless saddle is installed, thereby providing a more solid and stable support for the saddle and the user riding on the saddle, the connection between the front end of the guide frame 30 and the saddle body 10 can be further simplified.

[0103] See also Fig.30 , the figure shows a front fixing device 50' that replaces the first front fixing unit 51 and the second front fixing unit 52. Accordingly, the guide rail frame 30 has a front arm 301 extending integrally between the two front ends of the first guide rail 31 and the second guide rail 32. The front arm 301 and the two front ends of the first guide rail 31 and the second guide rail 32 form a U-shaped front portion 300' of the guide rail frame 30, replacing the first front ring 312 and the second front ring 322. Fig. 20 , Fig.21As shown. The front fixing device 50' includes a fixing bracket 51', one end of which is connected to the base 20, and the other end extends to the front arm 301 to form a fixing part 52', which is used to be detachably connected to the base 20 through a fixing element 53' such as a screw. A fixing groove 501' is also formed between the two ends of the fixing bracket 52', and its size and shape can be used to install the front arm 301 therein, thereby firmly fixing the U-shaped front part 300' of the guide rail frame 30 in an appropriate position. Therefore, the front fixing device 50' and the two rear mounting parts 22 form a solid triangular structure to stably support the saddle body 10.

[0104] Reference Fig.31 , shows another alternative front fixing device 50 ′, wherein Fig. 20 and Fig.21 The first front fixing unit 51 and the second front fixing unit 52 shown in the figure are replaced by the front fixing device 50', and the two front ends of the first guide rail 31 and the second guide rail 32 are extended forward to form a V-shaped front end member 300". The front fixing device 50' is integrally arranged on the base 20 and has a rearward engaging groove 501", which can be engaged with the front end component 300" of the guide rail frame 30, wherein the size and shape of the engaging groove 501" can be engaged with the V-shaped front end member 300", so as to firmly fix and stick the V-shaped front end member 300" of the guide rail frame 30 in the appropriate position. Therefore, the front fixing device 50" and the two rear mounting parts 22 form a strong triangular structure to support the saddle body 10 in a balanced and stable manner.
