A method of repairing or modifying saddles and seats for motor-cycles; and units for use in such method.

摘要

A method of repairing or modifying a saddle or seat for a motor-cycle or cycle, having a metal base pan (102), resilient filling or cushioning material supported by the pan (102), and a cover or skin which covers the filling or cushioning material, comprises: stripping away the existing filling or cushioning material and the existing cover or skin from the metal base pan (102), and then securing to said pan (102), by securing means, a replacement unit (101) comprising a moulded pan (105) of plastics material for seating on the metal pan (102), resilient filling or cushioning material (106) supported by said plastics pan (105), and a cover or skin (107) which covers the filling or cushioning material (106) of said replacement unit (101). The method enables the original cover or skin, and the original filling or cushioning material, on the metal pan (102) to be replaced quickly and inexpensively. Since the metal pan (102) is retained, the pan (105) of the replacement unit (101) can be inexpensively moulded from light-duty plastics material. In one embodiment the securing means are screw means (109, 110); and in another embodiment the securing means are clips.
