Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of seat cover technology, specifically relating to a bicycle seat cover and set. Background Technology

[0002] As a convenient means of transportation and sports equipment, the comfort of a bicycle saddle directly impacts the user's riding experience. Bicycle saddle designs need to consider different usage scenarios. Many original equipment bicycle saddles are designed with racing or sport cycling in mind, assuming users wear cushioned and durable cycling shorts. Therefore, their hardness and fit are more suited to athletic demands. However, in everyday commuting scenarios, users often ride in ordinary clothing, lacking the cushioning protection of cycling shorts. In these situations, the hardness and fit of original equipment bicycle saddles may not meet comfort requirements, leading to strong pressure and significant discomfort in the buttocks during prolonged riding.

[0003] While bicycle saddle covers on the market can improve the riding experience to some extent, they still have many problems: some use pull cords or straps for fixing, which requires cumbersome binding operations during installation and is not user-friendly; some saddle covers are loosely and unstablely connected to the saddle, making them easy to slip during riding and affecting stability; and some saddle covers have problems such as exposed cords and many surface gaps, which not only affect the appearance but also easily accumulate dust or snag clothing, making it difficult to meet the comprehensive needs of commuters for convenience, comfort, and aesthetics. Utility Model Content

The primary objective of this utility model is to improve the comfort of existing bicycle saddles, providing a saddle cover that is easy to install and reliably fixed, thereby enhancing the user's riding experience.

[0005] The bicycle saddle cover provided by this utility model includes a seat surface that is narrow at the front and wide at the rear, a front fixing piece connected to the front edge of the seat surface, a rear fixing piece connected to the rear edge of the seat surface, and a pair of straps extending from both sides of the front fixing piece. The front fixing piece and the front part of the seat surface together form a front fixing sleeve with a rearward opening, used to fit the front part of the saddle. The rear fixing piece and the rear part of the seat surface together form a rear fixing sleeve with a forward opening, used to fit the rear part of the saddle. The rear fixing piece is elastic so that the opening of the rear fixing sleeve can be temporarily widened when fitting the rear part of the saddle. The end of the strap has a connecting piece, and at least a portion of the surface of the rear fixing piece can be detachably connected to the connecting piece. When the saddle cover is fitted onto the saddle, the connecting piece is connected to the surface of the rear fixing piece and the straps are tightened in the front-to-back direction, so that the front fixing piece is subjected to a rearward pulling force and the rear fixing piece is subjected to a forward pulling force to fix the saddle.

[0006] As a further optimization of the seat cover, the connecting piece at the end of the strap is a hook-and-loop fastener, and the back fastener is made of a loop-faced hook-and-loop fabric. The connecting piece can be selectively attached to the surface of the back fastener.

[0007] As a further optimization of the seat cover, the edge of the rear fixing piece is provided with an elastic binding strip, which is elastic to tighten the opening of the rear fixing cover; the end of the elastic binding strip extends from the joint between the seat surface and the rear fixing piece.

[0008] As a further optimization of the seat cover, a pair of straps extend along the front-to-back direction on both sides of the symmetrical axis of the seat, with the front-to-back axis of symmetry as the dividing line.

[0009] As a further optimization of the seat cover, the front fixing plate is integrated with the straps on both sides.

[0010] As a further optimization of the seat cover, the edges of the straps are provided with a first reinforcing edging strip, and the edges of the front fixing piece are provided with a second reinforcing edging strip; the first reinforcing edging strips on both sides of the straps are led out from the seam between the straps and the seat surface, and extend continuously along the edges of the straps to be integrally connected with the two ends of the second reinforcing edging strip.

[0011] As a further optimization of the seat cover, the rear end of the seam between the seat surface and the front fixing piece coincides with the front end of the seam between the seat surface and the rear fixing piece; and the front fixing piece covers the rear fixing piece at the overlap.

[0012] As a further optimization of the seat cover, both the front and rear fixing pieces are sewn to the seat surface, and the seam allowances left along the circular seam line are hidden inside the seat cover.

[0013] As a further optimization of the seat cover, the seat surface is made of a multi-layer composite material, including an inner lining fabric layer on the inside and a dense outer skin layer on the outside, with a flexible foam layer between the inner lining fabric layer and the dense outer skin layer.

[0014] As a further optimization of the seat cover, multiple anti-slip recesses are formed on the inner side of the seat surface. The anti-slip recesses are arranged in an array on the inner surface of the seat surface to form a honeycomb shock-absorbing and anti-slip structure.

[0015] Based on the saddle cover solution, this utility model also provides a bicycle saddle cover set, including any of the above-mentioned saddle covers and saddles. The saddle has a shape that is narrow at the front and wide at the back, which is adapted to the shape of the saddle cover seat. The front fixing sleeve can be fitted onto the front of the saddle, and the rear fixing sleeve can be fitted onto the rear of the saddle.

[0016] Beneficial effects

[0017] Compared to existing technologies, the bicycle saddle cover provided by this utility model uses front and rear fixing sleeves to fit over the front and rear of the saddle respectively. Combined with the tension of the straps, this achieves a stable fixation, preventing shifting during riding. The rear fixing piece is elastic, and the straps are detachable, facilitating installation, removal, and tension adjustment, thus improving ease of use. Furthermore, the optimized saddle cover features symmetrically distributed straps for balanced force distribution, preventing skewing. The integrated connection and reinforced edging strips enhance structural strength and durability. Hidden seams, anti-slip recesses forming a honeycomb shock-absorbing and anti-slip structure, and the combination of multiple materials improve comfort, anti-slip properties, and aesthetics. The added set design allows for flexible adaptation to different scenarios, enhancing the user experience. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The present invention is further illustrated by the following embodiments, which are intended to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and should not be construed as a limitation.

[0028] Figure 1The image shows a standard bicycle saddle, which is narrower at the front and wider at the back. The bicycle saddle cover provided in this embodiment of the invention is used to cover a bicycle saddle, providing protection and / or enhancing comfort. The structure of the bicycle saddle cover is as follows... Figures 2 to 7 As shown, it includes a seat surface 1 that is narrow at the front and wide at the rear, a front fixing piece 2 connected to the front edge of the seat surface 1, a rear fixing piece 3 connected to the rear edge of the seat surface 1, and a pair of straps 4 extending from both sides of the front fixing piece 2.

[0029] The seat surface 1 is used to cover the upper surface of the seat cushion. Its overall shape is narrower in the front and wider in the back, which is compatible with the shape of a conventional bicycle seat cushion.

[0030] The front fixing piece 2 is connected to the front edge of the seat surface 1, and together with the front part of the seat surface 1, they form a front fixing sleeve. Specifically, the edge of the front fixing piece is connected to the edge of the front part of the seat surface 1, such as by sewing and / or gluing, so that the space formed by the two is an open structure facing backward. The size of the opening is roughly matched with the size of the front part of the bicycle saddle. When in use, the front part of the saddle can be inserted into the front fixing sleeve through the opening to achieve the initial positioning of the front part of the saddle and the saddle cover.

[0031] The rear fixing piece 3 is connected to the rear edge of the seat surface 1, and together with the rear part of the seat surface 1, it forms a rear fixing sleeve. The edge of the rear fixing piece 3 is connected to the corresponding edge of the rear part of the seat surface 1, such as by sewing and / or gluing. The enclosed space has an opening facing forward, which is used to fit the rear part of the seat cushion. The rear fixing piece 3 is made of an elastic material, such as elastic fabric. When the rear part of the seat cushion needs to be fitted into the rear fixing sleeve, the rear fixing piece 3 can be elastically deformed by external force, thereby temporarily widening the opening of the rear fixing sleeve, making it easy for the rear part of the seat cushion to be fitted smoothly. After being fitted, the rear fixing piece 3 returns to its original shape, so that the rear fixing sleeve fits tightly against the rear part of the seat cushion.

[0032] A pair of straps 4 extend from both sides of the front fixing piece 2. One end of the strap 4 is connected to the side of the front fixing piece 2, and the other end is a free end with a connecting piece 41. At least a portion of the surface of the rear fixing piece 3 can be connected to the connecting piece 41, so that the connecting piece 41 can be detachably connected to the surface of the rear fixing piece 3.

[0033] The procedure for using this bicycle saddle cover is as follows: First, slip the front part of the bicycle saddle into the front retaining sleeve from back to front, ensuring a tight fit. Then, utilizing the elasticity of the rear retaining piece 3, widen the opening of the rear retaining sleeve and slip the rear part of the saddle into it. Loosen the rear retaining piece 3, allowing it to naturally tighten and fit the rear of the saddle. Finally, pull the pair of straps 4 backward, connecting the connecting piece 41 to the surface of the rear retaining piece 3, while maintaining tension on the straps 4 in the front-to-back direction. At this point, the front retaining sleeve experiences a backward pull under the tension of the straps 4, while the rear retaining sleeve experiences a forward pull. Under these two opposing forces, the saddle cover is stably fixed to the bicycle saddle, preventing displacement or detachment during use.

[0034] As described above, this bicycle saddle cover uses a front retaining sleeve and a rear retaining sleeve to fit and position the front and rear of the saddle respectively. Combined with the tension of the straps in the front and back directions, it can achieve a stable connection between the saddle cover and the saddle, effectively preventing the saddle cover from slipping during riding. The rear retaining plate is elastic, which can easily open the opening of the rear retaining sleeve, making it convenient for the installation of the saddle cover. The detachable connection structure between the straps and the rear retaining plate makes the installation and removal of the saddle cover simple and convenient, and also allows for adjustment of the strap tension according to actual conditions, improving ease of use and reliability.

[0035] In some preferred embodiments, the connecting piece 41 at the end of the strap 4 is a hook-and-loop fastener, while the rear fixing piece 3 is made of a loop fastener fabric. The hook and loop sides can be glued together, allowing the connecting piece 41 to be attached to different positions on the surface of the rear fixing piece 3 according to actual needs. This hook-and-loop fastener not only enables quick and detachable connection between the connecting piece 41 and the rear fixing piece 3, but also allows for flexible adjustment of the tension of the strap 4 by adjusting the attachment position, further improving the adaptability and ease of operation of the seat cover installation, and also enhancing the overall appearance and aesthetics of the rear fixing piece 3.

[0036] In some preferred embodiments, the edge of the rear fixing piece 3 is provided with an elastic binding strip 31. This elastic binding strip 31 has good elasticity, for example, it can be made of elastic webbing or binding fabric strip with built-in elastic yarn, which can tighten the opening of the rear fixing sleeve. At the same time, the end of the elastic binding strip 31 extends from the seam between the seat surface 1 and the rear fixing piece 3, making the connection with the seam more stable and aesthetically pleasing. The setting of the elastic binding strip 31 can enhance the tightening force of the opening of the rear fixing sleeve, so that the rear fixing sleeve fits more tightly after being put into the rear of the seat cushion, reducing loose space and improving the fixing effect.

[0037] In some preferred embodiments, a pair of straps 4 are positioned on either side of the axis of symmetry in the front-back direction of the seat surface 1, extending along the front-back direction. This symmetrical distribution, with the two straps arranged approximately parallel after binding, ensures that the tension exerted by the straps 4 on the front and rear fixing sleeves is primarily a front-back tension, with balanced application on both sides. This prevents the seat cover from tilting due to excessive tension on one side, ensuring overall stability of the seat cover and further improving the reliability of the fixation.

[0038] In some preferred embodiments, the front fixing piece 2 is integrally connected to the straps 4 on both sides. This integral connection structure can be formed by cutting from the same piece of fabric without additional splicing processes. This not only simplifies the manufacturing process but also enhances the structural strength of the connection between the front fixing piece 2 and the straps 4, reduces the problem of breakage at the connection due to frequent pulling, improves the overall service life, and also enhances the aesthetics.

[0039] In some preferred embodiments, the edge of the strap 4 is provided with a first reinforcing edging strip 42, and the edge of the front fixing piece 2 is provided with a second reinforcing edging strip 22. The first reinforcing edging strips 42 on both sides of the strap 4 are led out from the seam between the strap 4 and the seat surface 1, and extend continuously along the edge of the strap 4 to be integrally connected with both ends of the second reinforcing edging strip 22. The first reinforcing edging strip 42 and the second reinforcing edging strip 22 can be made of wear-resistant webbing material. Their arrangement can effectively enhance the tensile and abrasion resistance of the edges of the strap 4 and the front fixing piece 2, and prevent the edges from curling or tearing after long-term use. The integral connection structure of the two makes the force transmission more uniform and reliable, further improving the overall structural stability.

[0040] In some preferred embodiments, the rear end of the seam between the seat surface 1 and the front fixing piece 2 coincides with the front end of the seam between the seat surface 1 and the rear fixing piece 3; and the front fixing piece 2 covers the rear fixing piece 3 at the overlap. This overlapping and covering structure avoids gaps at the connection between the front fixing piece 2 and the rear fixing piece 3, preventing dust and debris from entering the seat cover during riding; at the same time, the coverage of the rear fixing piece 3 by the front fixing piece 2 reduces the exposed gaps on the surface of the seat cover, making the seat cover look complete and beautiful, and also protects the connecting edge of the rear fixing piece 3, reducing the probability of it being damaged by friction.

[0041] In some preferred embodiments, both the front fixing piece 2 and the rear fixing piece 3 are sewn together with the seat surface 1, and the seam allowance 11 along the circular seam line is hidden inside the seat cover. The sewing connection method ensures that the front fixing piece 2, the rear fixing piece 3 and the seat surface 1 are firmly connected and not easy to fall off; while the seam allowance 11 is hidden inside the seat cover, which can avoid the seam allowance directly contacting the seat or the human body and causing friction, reducing wear and discomfort, and at the same time making the surface of the seat cover flat and beautiful.

[0042] In some preferred embodiments, the seat surface 1 is made of a multi-layer composite material, comprising an inner lining fabric layer, an outer dense outer skin layer, and a flexible foam layer sandwiched between the inner lining fabric layer and the dense outer skin layer. The inner lining fabric layer can be made of breathable cotton, synthetic fibers, or other fabrics to improve the tensile strength of the seat surface 1; the dense outer skin layer can be made of wear-resistant and waterproof Oxford cloth or PVC / PU leather, enhancing the seat surface's durability, water resistance, and protective performance; the flexible foam layer provides good cushioning internally, reducing the bumpy feeling during riding and improving the overall user experience. The inner lining fabric layer, dense outer skin layer, and flexible foam layer can be manufactured separately, cut, and sewn together, or the other two can be directly bonded to the inner and outer sides of the flexible foam layer during its foaming process.

[0043] In some other preferred embodiments, the inner side of the seat surface 1 is formed with a plurality of anti-slip recesses 12, such as... Figure 8 As shown, these anti-slip recesses 12 are arranged in an array on the inner surface of the seat 1, forming a honeycomb shock-absorbing and anti-slip structure. These honeycomb anti-slip recesses 12 can increase the cushioning performance and friction between the inner side of the seat 1 and the surface of the bicycle saddle, effectively improving comfort and preventing the saddle cover from sliding relative to the saddle during use, further ensuring the stability of the saddle cover, especially when riding on bumpy roads or braking suddenly, reducing discomfort caused by relative displacement.

[0044] Based on any of the aforementioned bicycle saddle covers, a bicycle saddle cover set is further provided. The saddle cover set includes a saddle and a bicycle saddle cover. The saddle has a shape that is narrower at the front and wider at the back, and its shape is adapted to the seat surface 1 of the saddle cover, ensuring that the saddle cover can cover and conform to the saddle surface. This set can be used as a complete replacement unit, replacing the original bicycle saddle and meeting users' needs for improvements in comfort, shape, and other aspects of the original saddle. At the same time, the design of the set gives users a great deal of freedom of use. For example, the set uses a combination of a firmer saddle and a softer saddle cover. In warm seasons or when users prefer a firmer saddle, the saddle from the set can be used directly; while in cold seasons, when increased warmth is needed or a softer feel is desired, the saddle cover can be fitted over the saddle. This model of selling the set as a whole and using it flexibly simplifies the user's purchasing process and allows for quick adjustments to the usage state according to different scenarios, improving the user experience.

[0045] The above embodiments are exemplary and are intended to illustrate the technical concept and features of this utility model, so that those skilled in the art can understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
