Saddle mounting device for bicycles has tube with slot for seat tube to be pushed in from below, two gripping elements and one clamp element to prevent saddle from sliding down

摘要

The device consists of a tubular body (5) with a chamber (51), which permits a seat tube (3) to be pushed into it from below. The outer tube circumference has two side edge sections, which define a slot (57), and the tube has a base (54) on the upper edge (521) of the peripheral tube wall (52). A first gripping element (73,74) moves the edge sections together to clamp the wall around the tube. A frame (61) on the tube base has an upward facing saddle surface (614). A clamp element (62,63) defines a groove to hold the frame (41) of a saddle (4). It has a surface (633), which is in friction contact with the saddle surface. A second gripping element (7) has a shaft (71) extending through the clamp element into the frame.
