Patent ID: 7537281

Claim:
A bicycle saddle having two longitudinally symmetrical identical portions ( 1 ′, 1 ″) having corresponding parts, each portion comprising: a) a rear part ( 2 ) having a slightly upwardly concave first rear zone ( 2 ′), an outer side part ( 2 ′″) with downward convexity so as to follow a rider's buttocks muscle curvature, and a front zone ( 2 ″) continuing forwardly from said rear zone ( 2 ′) in a substantially downwardly inclined configuration with a depression ranging from 0 cm to about 3 to 5 cm, the two corresponding rear parts ( 2 ) of the bicycle saddle allow optimal reception in the bicycle saddle of the rider's buttocks and support for about 50% of the rider's body weight; b) a front part ( 6 ) about 1 to 3 cm lower than said rear part ( 2 ) and inclined upwardly to about 25° having a bearing ( 16 ) formed of soft plastic material, the upwardly inclined corresponding front parts ( 6 ) of the bicycle saddle support the respective ischium and pubis bones of the pelvis so that the rider's torso does not tend to fall forwards and supports 50% of the rider's body weight, the two front parts ( 6 ) of the bicycle saddle have an overall width which varies from 15cm to 6 cm and begin to gradually constrict at about half their longitudinal extension substantially forming a V-shaped configuration with a vertex ( 7 ) curving steeply downwardly in a substantially hook shape whereby the rider's genitalia do not come into contact with the bicycle saddle and are thus not compressed, each bearing ( 16 ) has an inner zone ( 6 ′) which is bevelled about 30° between corresponding inner zones ( 6 ′) of bearings ( 16 ); and c) a transversal middle part ( 5 ) which eases the connection from said rear part ( 2 ) to said front part ( 6 ), said middle part ( 5 ) continuing the downwardly inclined configuration of the front zone ( 2 ″) of said rear part ( 2 ) and having a side cove-shaped zone ( 5 ′); wherein the two identical portions ( 1 ′, 1 ″) of the bicycle saddle are joined together at their respective rear parts ( 2 ) by a longitudinal trough ( 9 ) which terminates in a cove ( 10 ) at a rear edge of the bicycle saddle at the longitudinal axis thereof whereby the coccyx of the rider does not contact the seating plane during riding, and the two identical portions ( 1 ′, 1 ″) of the bicycle saddle are separated at their middle parts ( 5 ) and front parts ( 6 ) by a channel ( 8 ) which is much wider at its rear part with a width varying from 5 cm to a minimum of 3 cm whereby any squashing of the rider's pelvic viscera is avoided.
