20140110979 | Suspension Systems and Methods for Bicycles - A bicycle seat suspension assembly has a parallelogram pivoting linkage connecting the frame with the seat. The parallelogram linkage has a frame link, seat link, upper link, and lower link. An upper spring assembly pivotally engages the frame link on one end and extends up to pivotally engage the upper link. A lower spring assembly pivotally engages the frame link on one end and the lower link on the other end. The suspension assembly is movable between an uppermost position wherein the upper and lower spring assemblies are pre-compressed, and a second position wherein the upper and lower spring assemblies are further compressed. In some embodiments one or both of the spring assemblies have a compression spring that can be swapped out with another compression spring to adjust the spring rate of the assembly. | 04-24-2014 |
20140145479 | SEAT DEVICE FOR A BICYCLE - A seat device for a bicycle includes a seat and a frame assembled to a bottom of the seat. The frame has a front assembling portion and two elastic arms. Each elastic arm has a first inclined segment, a connecting segment and a second inclined segment in an order from a front end to a rear end of the seat. Each first inclined segment and each second inclined segment have flat cross sections, and each connecting segment has a circular cross section. Under this arrangement, when a rider rides on an unsmooth road, a road-induced vibration is delivered to the seat; and then, the seat shifts said vibration to the frame so that the frame deforms to absorb said vibration; therefore, the rider has a lower possibility in suffering damages caused by the road-induced vibration and the comfortableness of the rider is improved as well. | 05-29-2014 |
20140203601 | SADDLE OF BICYCLE - A bicycle saddle includes a saddle frame. A support cloth is mounted atop the saddle frame in a stretched manner. The saddle frame has at least three support spots to couple to edges of the support cloth. A middle portion of the support cloth is located above the saddle frame in a suspended manner. The bicycle saddle is composed of a saddle frame and a support cloth that is arranged above the saddle frame in a suspended manner. The suspension arrangement of the support cloth makes the hips of a rider in engagement with the support cloth rather than contacting the saddle frame. This makes riding comfortable. Further, the support cloth is of excellent performance of heat dissipation thereby reducing the adverse effect on the body health caused by the heat accumulation during riding a bicycle. The left and right frame members are foldably coupled to the bottom base. | 07-24-2014 |
