ORTHOTIC CYCLE SADDLE HAVING FORWARDLY PROJECTING RAISED CANTLE SURFACES

摘要

An anatomically conforming cycle saddle (2, 100) having a compound surface including an elongated horn section transitioning rearwardly into a laterally flared, raised cantle. A perineum/genital relief (56) is symmetrically disposed along the longitudinal axis of the generally horizontal upper horn surface as seen in plane view. A cantle (16) includes a pair of opposed, bilaterally symmetrical, inclined dished surfaces (22), and may have a generally triangular, bilaterally symmetrical, raised, inclined coccyx support member (44) disposed centrally and rearwardly therebetween. In another embodiment of the invention, the coccyx support is eliminated and in both embodiments, forwardly projecting surfaces are provided as part of the bilateral cavities for enabling increased pedal thrust by a rider.
