Saddle adapter to enable dynamic lateral tilting of a bicycle saddle

Abstract

Saddle adapter (100) for enabling a dynamic lateral tilt of a bicycle saddle (200), which bicycle saddle (200) has a seat element (210) with a seat surface (211) and at least two spaced-apart mounting rods (212) on its underside, via which the bicycle saddle (200) is to be connected to a seat post head (221) of a seat post (220), wherein the saddle adapter (100) comprises at least: - a pivot axis (23) extending in the longitudinal direction of the seat element (10);- a pivoting bridge unit (20) which is movably mounted on the base unit (10) and is laterally tiltable about the pivot axis (23) and which has at least two mounting rod receptacles (29) for the mounting rods (212) on the bicycle saddle (200) and - at least one elastic damping element (41, 42) limiting the tilting movement of the pivoting bridge unit (20) relative to the base unit (10), characterized in that - the pivoting bridge unit (20) and the base unit (10) each have two mounting points (43, 44, 45, 46) spaced laterally from the pivot axis (23) and - that one mounting point (43, 44) on the pivoting bridge unit (20) and one mounting point (45, 46) on the base unit (10) are connected to each other in pairs via at least one elastically expandable and / or compressible damping element (41, 42).
