Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of bicycle products, and in particular to a bicycle seat cover. Background Technology

[0002] To improve the comfort of cycling, a saddle cover is usually installed on the seat. The foam padding inside the saddle cover works with the seat to maintain basic elasticity when straddling the rider, reducing discomfort caused by bumps and vibrations during the ride.

[0003] However, ordinary saddle covers, apart from the foam padding, do not have any other structural design for cushioning and shock absorption. When the bicycle travels over potholes or bumpy roads, the elasticity and cushioning effect of the saddle cover cannot effectively overcome the continuous irregular vibration and impact, which can easily cause pain to the rider and greatly affect their riding experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a bicycle saddle cover that addresses the problem that existing bicycle saddle covers have simple cushioning and shock absorption structures, which cannot effectively overcome continuous and irregular vibrations and impacts during rides, and easily cause pain to riders.

[0005] A bicycle saddle cover includes: a saddle cover body made of a breathable soft material, the bottom rear end of the saddle cover body being recessed inward to form an installation groove; a soft rubber component adapted to be installed in the installation groove; and an outer cover whose shape matches the saddle cover body and is fitted over the outside of the saddle cover body, the rear end of the outer cover having an airbag structure located above the soft rubber component.

[0006] This application provides a bicycle saddle cover, including a saddle cover body, a soft rubber component, an outer cover, and an airbag structure. The saddle cover body is made of a breathable, soft material. The soft rubber component is located at the rear end of the saddle cover body to provide support for the rider's buttocks. Utilizing the excellent elasticity and deformation recovery ability of the soft rubber component, it greatly enhances the shock absorption and cushioning effect when bumps occur during riding, effectively reducing the shock and pressure caused by the impact between the buttocks and the seat. Furthermore, an outer cover is fitted over the outer side of the saddle cover body. The rear end of the outer cover has an airbag structure corresponding to the soft rubber component. The airbag structure further enhances the resilience of the saddle cover, making the riding experience more comfortable for the rider.

[0007] In one embodiment, the flexible rubber part includes a first abutment portion and a second abutment portion. The first abutment portion abuts against the upper inner wall of the mounting groove, and the second abutment portion is located below the first abutment portion. A three-dimensional mesh elastic structure is formed between the first abutment portion and the second abutment portion. Using the three-dimensional mesh elastic structure to connect the first abutment portion and the second abutment portion makes the flexible rubber part lighter and provides good rebound when the first abutment portion is compressed and deforms towards the second abutment portion. Furthermore, the three-dimensional mesh structure can quickly disperse the force locally experienced by the first abutment portion to the entire flexible rubber part, thereby absorbing vibrations and reducing stress concentration, which is beneficial for improving structural stability and extending material life.

[0008] In one embodiment, the first abutting portion and / or the second abutting portion are provided with multiple through holes. By designing the first abutting portion and / or the second abutting portion with multiple through holes, the through holes facilitate the internal air circulation of the pad body, effectively dissipating heat, and when the soft rubber part is squeezed, the multiple through hole structure makes the soft rubber part easier to deform and better conform to the human body.

[0009] In one embodiment, the first abutting portion and / or the second abutting portion and / or the three-dimensional mesh elastic structure are fabricated using a 3D printing process.

[0010] In one embodiment, the airbag structure protrudes onto the side wall of the outer cover away from the main body of the pad. The airbag structure, with its protrusion on the surface of the outer cover, not only provides a rebound and shock absorption effect but also offers some positioning and anti-slip properties, helping the rider maintain a stable and comfortable riding posture.

[0011] In one embodiment, the airbag structure includes multiple individual airbags spaced apart on the outer side wall of the cover. The airbag structure, composed of multiple small, independent airbags spaced apart, facilitates the distribution of the rider's weight and reduces the discomfort experienced by the rider when straddling the saddle and coming into contact with the raised airbags.

[0012] In one embodiment, the airbag structure includes a first sheet and a second sheet. The peripheries of the first sheet and the second sheet are bonded together using a high-frequency voltage process, forming an air cavity. The airbag structure forms the air cavity by bonding the first and second sheets together while maintaining a certain gap. Specifically, the use of a high-frequency voltage process effectively ensures the airtightness of the entire airbag structure, preventing air leakage during riding and ensuring the seat cover has stable cushioning and shock absorption functions.

[0013] In one embodiment, the airbag structure is an inflatable airbag.

[0014] In one embodiment, the seat cover body includes a seating body and a tapered portion formed at the front end of the seating body. There are two mounting slots, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the seating body. The number of soft rubber parts corresponds to the number of mounting slots. By employing this structure, the two soft rubber parts are specifically arranged corresponding to the greater trochanter of the femur. When the cyclist rides, the greater trochanter sinks into the seat cover body and compresses the soft rubber parts, providing additional support for a more comfortable ride. Furthermore, the soft rubber parts effectively absorb some of the reaction force, thereby reducing the impact of the buttocks against the seat when encountering bumps during riding.

[0015] In one embodiment, the upper middle portion of the seat body is recessed downwards to form a first groove, which extends along the length of the seat body to the tapered portion. By adopting the above structure, the formation of a first groove in the middle of the seat body can help improve comfort and reduce pressure on the rider's perineum.

[0016] In one embodiment, the upper end of the seat body near the tapered portion is recessed downwards to form a second groove, which extends inwards from the side wall of the seat body along the width direction of the seat cover body. By adopting the above structure, without affecting the seat body's support and shock absorption effect on the buttocks, the second groove reduces the contact friction between the rider's thighs and the seat cover during movement, thereby reducing scraping resistance and improving breathability and heat dissipation.

[0017] In one embodiment, there are two airbag structures, and the two airbag structures are arranged one-to-one above the two soft rubber parts.

[0018] In one embodiment, a breathable mesh layer is further included, which is disposed at the bottom of the seat cover body, with the soft rubber component located between the seat cover body and the breathable mesh layer. By providing a breathable mesh layer at the bottom of the seat cover body, the soft rubber component can be blocked, facilitating its installation and preventing it from falling off. Simultaneously, the breathable mesh layer allows air circulation, ensuring that the seat cover body and the soft rubber component can effectively dissipate heat, reducing sweat buildup on the seat cover, keeping the surface dry, and providing a more comfortable riding experience.

[0019] In one embodiment, a Velcro strap is also included, which secures the seat cover to the saddle. This design offers advantages such as simple structure, quick installation, wear resistance, and lightweight, providing convenience for riders to install and remove seat covers.

[0020] In one embodiment, the outer cover is made of a non-slip fabric. Using a non-slip fabric increases the friction between the seat cover and the rider, effectively preventing slippage during riding, thereby improving riding safety and comfort.

[0021] In one embodiment, the pad body is made of one or more of the following: molded cotton, memory foam, foamed cotton, or latex sponge. Attached Figure Description

It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0035] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore the scope of protection of the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0036] The bicycle seat cover of some embodiments of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment discloses a bicycle seat cover, including: a seat cover body 1, the seat cover body 1 is made of breathable soft material, and the bottom rear end of the seat cover body 1 is recessed inward to form an installation groove 101; a soft rubber part 2, the soft rubber part 2 is adapted to be installed in the installation groove 101; an outer cover 3, the shape of the outer cover 3 matches the seat cover body 1, the outer cover 3 is sleeved on the outside of the seat cover body 1, and the rear end of the outer cover 3 is provided with an airbag structure 4, the airbag structure 4 is located above the soft rubber part 2.

The saddle cover body 1 is made of a breathable soft material. The soft rubber component 2 is located at the rear end of the saddle cover body 1 to provide support for the rider's buttocks. Utilizing the excellent elasticity and deformation recovery ability of the soft rubber component 2, it greatly enhances the shock absorption and cushioning effect when bumps occur during riding, effectively reducing the shock and pressure caused by the impact between the buttocks and the seat. Furthermore, the outer cover 3 is fitted over the outer side of the saddle cover body 1. The rear end of the outer cover 3 has an airbag structure 4 corresponding to the soft rubber component 2. The airbag structure 4 further enhances the resilience of the saddle cover, making the rider's riding experience more comfortable.

[0039] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the soft rubber part 2 includes a first abutting part 21 and a second abutting part 22. The first abutting part 21 abuts against the upper inner wall of the mounting groove 101, and the second abutting part 22 is located below the first abutting part 21. A three-dimensional mesh elastic structure 23 is formed between the first abutting part 21 and the second abutting part 22. The three-dimensional mesh elastic structure 23 is used to connect the first abutting part 21 and the second abutting part 22, making the soft rubber part 2 lighter. At the same time, it can provide a good rebound effect when the first abutting part 21 is squeezed and deforms towards the second abutting part 22. Furthermore, the three-dimensional mesh structure can quickly disperse the force locally received by the first abutting part 21 to the entire soft rubber part 2, causing the entire soft rubber part 2 to perform shock absorption, and can reduce stress concentration, which is beneficial to improving structural stability and extending material life.

[0040] like Figure 5As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the first abutting portion 21 and / or the second abutting portion 22 are provided with a plurality of through holes 201. By designing the first abutting portion 21 and / or the second abutting portion 22 to have a plurality of through holes 201, the through holes 201 can facilitate the internal air circulation of the pad body 1, effectively dissipate heat, and when the soft rubber part 2 is squeezed, the structure of the plurality of through holes 201 can make the soft rubber part 2 easier to deform and better fit the human body.

[0041] In addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the first abutting part 21 and / or the second abutting part 22 and / or the three-dimensional mesh elastic structure 23 are manufactured using 3D printing technology.

[0042] In addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the airbag structure 4 is protruding on the side wall of the outer cover 3 away from the pad body 1. The airbag structure 4, protruding on the surface of the outer cover 3, not only provides a rebound and shock absorption effect, but also offers a certain degree of positioning and anti-slip function, which helps the rider maintain a stable and good riding posture.

[0043] In addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the airbag structure 4 includes multiple independent airbags, which are spaced apart on the outer side wall of the outer cover 3. The airbag structure 4, composed of multiple independent and small airbags spaced apart, can help distribute the rider's weight and reduce the discomfort of the rider sitting astride the saddle when in contact with the protruding airbags.

[0044] In addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the airbag structure 4 includes a first piece and a second piece, the peripheries of the first piece and the peripheries of the second piece are bonded together using a high-frequency voltage process, and the first piece and the second piece enclose an air cavity. The airbag structure 4 forms an air cavity by bonding the first piece and the second piece together and maintaining a certain gap shape. Specifically, the use of a high-frequency voltage process can effectively ensure the airtightness of the entire airbag structure 4, effectively preventing air leakage of the airbag structure 4 during riding and ensuring that the seat cover has a stable cushioning and shock absorption function.

[0045] In addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the airbag structure 4 is an airless airbag.
