Bicycle saddle
The present invention relates to a bicycle saddle, and more specifically, to form a concave saddle formed in the condensation site to the left and right, and the separation width of each saddle can be varied to suit the user of various body shapes, Not only can the user check and measure the variable separation width, but also relates to a width-variable saddle that allows the front end of each saddle to be changed in height in the vertical direction according to the pedal movement.
The general bicycle saddle which is widely used at present is formed in the shape of narrow width and long length, and also the convex shape which protruded compared with the left-right side in the longitudinal center part.
For the optimal design of the bicycle saddle having such a shape, by using the Rod Matrix method as shown in Figure 1a, by measuring the force acting on each part of the hip contact surface of the subject in a comfortable sitting position 1b, a force distribution curve as shown in FIG. 1b may be obtained, wherein the Ischial Tuberosities (IT), which are located at the left and right sides of the subject's hip center, are in contact with each other. It can be seen that the load of the subject is most concentrated at the site.
When the load distribution for the test result is schematically illustrated on a plane, it has a distribution curve as shown in FIG. 2, whereas the load distribution in the state where the conventional bicycle saddle is seated is shown in FIG. 3. It has a distribution curve as shown.
That is, in the conventional bicycle, since the left and right width of the saddle is fixed in a narrow state compared to the average IT distance between normal people, the distance between ITs (L) is narrower than the distance between ITs (1) in the normal state even in the load distribution curve. It appears that the overall distance of the load is also narrower than the normal state, and the load is concentrated in the protruding portion of the central portion.
Accordingly, when riding a bicycle for a long time, the IT contact surface is not in the same position as the operator's IT position, which makes the riding comfort inconvenient, and in the perineal part located in the load concentration surface, blood circulation is not good, causing severe impotence. There were several problems.
In order to solve this problem, a relatively wide saddle has been developed, but even in this case, each person satisfies all IT positions having various positions due to their gender, age, and weight. There was a problem that you can not.
Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a width-variable saddle capable of adjusting the IT contact surface according to the operator and distributing the load over the entire saddle.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a height-variable saddle capable of eliminating the inconvenience caused by frequent saddle contact of the operator according to the vertical movement of the pedal.

On the other hand, Figure 9 shows the configuration of an embodiment of the height-variable saddle according to the present invention, in addition to the configuration of the height-variable saddle, the rear end of the variable saddle 30 using the hinge 26 the saddle support portion Coupled to the rear end of the (20), between the front end of the variable saddle 30 and the front end of the saddle support 20 is provided with a compression spring 27, the variable saddle 30 when the mutual separation width adjustment The saddle can be moved in the left-right direction (the direction perpendicular to the ground).
Prior to the operation of the width-variable saddle according to the present invention configured as described above, first, in detail the coupling process of the respective components as follows.
The moving holes 43a and 43b are inserted at both sides of the width adjusting shaft 40 and screwed to the outside of the screw portions 42a and 42b, respectively, and the through holes formed at both ends of the width adjusting shaft 40. Using the hole 44, the rotary knob 50 is fixed to the left and right sides, respectively.
The rotation knob 50 is fitted to the width adjusting shaft 40 coupled to both ends of the lower inner side of the saddle support 20, the first to receive the cylindrical portion 41 in the shaft housing 24 After holding the center of the shaft, using the shaft fastener 45 is fixed to each side of the saddle support 20, respectively. At this time, the movable tool (43a, 43b) is not coupled separately so as to be able to move freely with respect to the saddle support (20).
Subsequently, the fixed coupler 31 of the variable saddle 30 is inserted into the through hole 22 of the saddle support 20, and the movable couplers 33a and 33b are respectively provided with the long holes 23a, 23b) penetrates the inside of the saddle support 20, and then the protruding moving coupling hole 33b is fitted into the long hole 43c formed at the bottom of the moving holes 43a and 43b. do. After the screw is coupled to the fixing coupler 31 is coupled to the screw through the through hole 22, the saddle support portion 20 and one side of the variable saddle 30 is firmly fixed.
Lastly, the front end of the main body coupling shaft 10 is inserted into the coupling hole 21a of the saddle support 20, and both rear ends of the main body coupling shaft 10 are fitted into the coupling holes 21b and 21c, respectively. Assembly of the variable width saddle is completed, and can be used in combination with the saddle support shaft provided in the general bicycle.
Referring to the operation of the deformable saddle according to the present invention finally assembled as described above are as follows.
When the width variable saddle according to the present invention is fixedly coupled to the upper end of the saddle support shaft of the bicycle by using the main body coupling shaft 10, and then rotates the rotary knob 50 in accordance with the gender, height, etc. of the person who wants to ride the bicycle. The width adjusting shaft 40 (ie, the threaded portions 42a and 42b) integrally coupled thereto is rotated.
The width adjustment shaft 40 is left and right relative to the saddle support 20 by the cylindrical portion 41 and the shaft fastener 45 accommodated in the shaft storage 24 of the saddle support 20. Since the right spaced apart movement is not possible, the screw portions 42a and 42b only rotate in the initial position, and only the movable holes 43a and 43b screwed to the outer circumferential surface thereof are along the outer circumferential surfaces of the screw portions 42a and 42b. Linear movement in the left and right directions.
At this time, since the left thread portion 42a and the right thread portion 42b are formed with opposite threads, the rotation direction of the width adjustment shaft 40 is rotated in the opposite direction with respect to the respective thread portions 42a and 42b. Direction, and thus the movable holes 43a and 43b are also moved in opposite directions.
For example, if it is assumed that the right hand thread is formed in the left thread part 42a and the left hand thread is formed in the right thread part 42b, the width adjusting shaft 40 is clockwise as shown in FIG. 10A. When rotated, the left moving hole 43a moves to the right by the action and reaction, and the right moving hole 43b moves to the left. On the contrary, as shown in FIG. 10B, the width adjusting shaft 40 When rotated counterclockwise, the left moving port (43a) is moved to the left, the right moving port (43b) is to move to the right.
That is, according to the change in the rotational direction of the width adjustment shaft 40, the left and right moving holes 43a, 43b move in the direction of the cylindrical portion 41 or away from the cylindrical portion 41, Accordingly, the left and right variable saddle 30 fitted into the long hole 43c of the mobile devices 43a and 43b by the mobile coupling device 33b is also the fixed coupler as shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B. The rotational movement around (31) is to be able to adjust the mutual separation width between the saddle. In this case, the rear surface of the saddle support 20 as shown in FIG. 11C to measure the distance after the movement of the moving holes 43a and 43b different for each user, that is, the mutual separation distance between the variable saddles 30 can be measured. It is advisable to draw a separate delimiter.
At this time, the long holes (23a, 23b) in the axial direction of the width adjustment shaft 40 so as to guide the rotational movement of the movable coupling sphere (33a, 3b) for rotating the variable saddle 30 It is formed so as to be inclined with respect to, and in accordance with the distance from the fixed coupler 31, even if the same angle is rotated in consideration of the difference in the circumferential movement distance between the fixed hole (31) 23a) is short in length, and the long hole 23b located farther is formed longer.
In addition, the long holes 43c respectively formed on the bottom surfaces of the moving holes 43a and 43b may be formed by linear movements of the left and right directions of the moving holes 43a and 43b and the rotational movement of the moving coupling holes 33b. It is formed long in the vertical direction with respect to the axial direction of the width adjustment shaft 40 to accommodate the positional shift in the vertical direction. FIG. 12 illustrates a vertical movement (V) along the long hole 43a when the movable coupling hole 33b is rotated along the long hole 23b by the horizontal movement H of the movable hole 43b. It is shown schematically.
In addition, in the case of using the height-variable saddle of Figure 9, in addition to the above-described operation, when the vertical vertical movement of the foot according to the pedal movement after mounting the bicycle, the saddle also moves in the vertical direction together.
For example, when the right foot descends from top to bottom, a vertical force acts on the front end of the right variable saddle 30 as shown in FIG. 9A, and by this force the variable saddle 30 is shown in FIG. 9B. As described above, the hinge 26 provided at the rear end of the variable saddle 30 is the center of axial rotation, thereby overcoming the elasticity of the compression spring 27 provided at the inner front end of the saddle support 20. Rotate downward while moving.
As the left foot descends as the bicycle continues forward, the right foot rises up again. As shown in FIG. 9C, the vertical force applied to the front end of the variable saddle 30 is removed. Saddle 30 is returned to its original position back to the elasticity of the compression spring (27).
As described above, the left and right variable saddles 30 also interlock with each other in accordance with the up and down movement of the left foot of the left foot.
Width-variable saddle according to the present invention made as described above, by forming a wider width of the saddle so that the load is not concentrated in the center of the saddle more widely distributed, the pain caused by the concentration of load on the perineum is reduced and inconvenience in operation This is removed, so that even if you ride a bicycle for a long time, blood circulation is smoothly made in the perineum. In addition, it is possible to variably adjust the separation width of each formed saddle, so that it can be used in accordance with the different IT width according to the various body types of the operator, as well as can be used according to the separation width suitable for each individual among family members. Also, when the body is enlarged according to the growth, the separation width can be varied and used properly. In addition, it is well ventilated through spaced places, and when applying different colors for each saddle is a very useful invention that can obtain a design effect.
In addition, in the spring-loaded wide-variable saddle, by reducing the friction caused by the thigh and the saddle contact of the bicycle rider during the pedal exercise, the pain is reduced, the discomfort in running, as well as skin damage caused by long-term use It is a very useful invention that can eliminate the inconvenience.
