Patent ID: 8807649

Claim:
A combination of a saddle, a seatpost ( 10 ) positionable on a bicycle and a system for coupling the saddle to the seatpost ( 10 ) the seatpost ( 10 ) having a head ( 11 ); said head ( 11 ) is substantially a plate ( 13 ) which, in use, is adapted to be positioned in a plane extending in the bicycle travel direction; said head ( 11 ) comprises a right rear pin ( 14 ) and a left rear pin ( 15 ) which are located one opposite the other at a rear end of said plate ( 13 ), and have a central axis which, in use, is adapted to be perpendicular to the bicycle travel direction; at the front other end of said plate ( 13 ), opposite said right rear pin ( 14 ) and said left rear pin ( 15 ), said plate ( 13 ) presents a slot ( 16 ) inclined by about 45o; said saddle comprising a fork ( 12 ) positioned below it; said slot ( 16 ) is produced by a plurality of holes which form it by mutual intersection; said fork ( 12 ) comprising two lateral apertures ( 31 , 32 ) bounded by a bar structure ( 21 , 22 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ); said right rear pin ( 14 ) and said left rear pin ( 15 ) being insertable into said two lateral apertures ( 31 , 32 ); each of said right rear pin ( 14 ) and of said left rear pin ( 15 ) comprising a head; said coupling system comprising an eccentric second pin ( 41 , 60 ) rotatably disposed in one of said plurality of holes of said slot ( 16 ); said eccentric second pin ( 41 , 60 ) comprising two heads, one per side; each of said heads of said right rear pin ( 14 ), of said left rear pin ( 15 ) and of said eccentric second pin ( 41 , 60 ) abut against said bar-like structure ( 21 , 22 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ) bounding said two lateral apertures ( 31 , 32 ); wherein the angular inclination of said saddle is adapted to be adjusted by rotating said eccentric second pin ( 41 , 60 ) within said one of said plurality of holes of said slot ( 16 ).
