ASSEMBLY COMPOSED OF A SADDLE AND A SADDLE COMPARTMENT FOR MOTORCYCLES

摘要

An assembly composed of a saddle (10) and of a saddle compartment (12) for a motorcycle is described. The saddle (10) comprises an upper padded portion which constitutes the seat for the rider and/or passenger of the motorcycle, and a substantially rigid bottom portion (14) operatively connected to the relative saddle compartment (12) by hinge means (16). The saddle compartment (12) is made integral with a fixed portion of the motorcycle. The hinge means (16) enable the saddle (10) to pass from a closed position, in which said saddle (10) is positioned substantially horizontally above the saddle compartment (12) and permits the rider and any passenger of the motorcycle to sit on it, and an open position, in which said saddle (10) is positioned in a substantially vertical position and permits access to the saddle compartment (12). The assembly comprises at least one gas spring (18) attached to a fixed portion of the motorcycle and operatively connected, at its upper end, to the saddle (10). Between the upper end of the gas spring and the saddle (10) articulated connection means (20, 22) are interposed which permit said saddle (10) to maintain a stable open position.
