Wer gelegentlich oder öfter Fahrrad fahrt kennt das Problem des schmerzenden Hinterteils.Anyone who cycles occasionally or frequently knows the problem of a sore bottom.
Die Fahrradsattelhersteller versuchen mit verschiedensten Konstruktionen diesem Problem zu begegnen.Bicycle saddle manufacturers try to address this problem with a variety of designs.
Bei einer sportlichen Fahrweise mit vielen und schnellen Bewegungen der Beine entstehen schnell Reibstellen an den Innenschenkeln und am Gesäß.When riding in a sporty manner with many quick movements of the legs, chafing quickly occurs on the inner thighs and buttocks.
Aus diesem Grund sind Sportsättel eher schmal geschnitten und wenig gepolstert. Freizeitsättel dagegen sind breiter und stärker gepolstert und ermöglichen dadurch ein bequemeres sitzen bei langsamer Fahrt.For this reason, sports saddles tend to be narrow and have little padding. Leisure saddles, on the other hand, are wider and more heavily padded, making it more comfortable to sit on when riding slowly.
Bei schnellerer oder längerer Fahrt erzeugen diese jedoch auch eher ReibstellenHowever, when driving faster or for longer periods, these are more likely to cause friction points
Aus gleichem Grund werden Freizeitsättel heute sehr oft mit weichem Schaum gepolstert oder sogar mit Gel zur Druckverteilung befüllt.For the same reason, leisure saddles today are often padded with soft foam or even filled with gel to distribute pressure.
Der Nachteil hier ist, dass Teile der Bewegungsenergie vom Sattel aufgenommen werden und dadurch verloren gehen.The disadvantage here is that parts of the kinetic energy are absorbed by the saddle and are therefore lost.
Beim Kaufeines Fahrradsattels muss sich der Radfahrer also zwischen sportlichen schmalen Sätteln mit hoher Bewegungsfreiheit und bequemen breiteren Sätteln mit weniger Bewegungsfreiheit und manchen Reibstellen entscheiden.When buying a bicycle saddle, the cyclist has to choose between sporty, narrow saddles with a lot of freedom of movement and comfortable, wider saddles with less freedom of movement and some friction points.
Egal welcher Typ gewählt wird, er sitzt dann immer auf der gleichen Stelle die unweigerlich nach einiger Zeit zu schmerzen beginnt.No matter which type is chosen, it always sits on the same spot, which inevitably starts to hurt after a while.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es nun, einen Fahrradsattel zu schaffen der während der Fahrt so verstellbar ist, dass auftretende Beschwerden bzw. Schmerzen im Gesäßbereich gemildert werden bzw. ganz verschwinden.The object of the invention is to create a bicycle saddle that can be adjusted during the ride so that any discomfort or pain in the buttocks area is alleviated or even completely eliminated.
Hierzu wird der Sattel im hinteren Bereich in der Mitte getrennt und die dabei entstehenden Teile über eine Vorrichtung (z.B. Gewindeverstellung) im Abstand veränderbar verbunden.To do this, the saddle is split in the middle at the rear and the resulting parts are connected in a way that allows the distance to be adjusted using a device (e.g. thread adjustment).
Es ist auch denkbar den Sattel in mehrere Sitzflächen zu teilen.It is also possible to divide the saddle into several seating areas.
Die Verstellvorrichtung wird so ausgeführt und angeordnet dass sie während der Fahrt bedienbarThe adjustment device is designed and arranged so that it can be operated while driving
Somit ist es erstens möglich die Sattelbreite der momentanen Anforderung (sportlich gemütlich) anzupassen und zweitens durch variable Auflagepunkte immer wieder während der Fahrt die Überlastung einzelner Regionen zu verhindern.This makes it possible, firstly, to adjust the saddle width to suit the current requirements (sporty or comfortable) and, secondly, to prevent overloading of individual regions during the ride by using variable support points.
Aus der PCT- Schrift WO 00/78595 Al ist bereits ein ähnlicher Sattel bekannt. Zur Verstellung muss der Fahrer hier jedoch absteigen.A similar saddle is already known from PCT document WO 00/78595 Al. However, the rider has to dismount to adjust it.
Anhand der Zeichnungen wird die Erfindung im Folgenden näher erläutert. Es zeigt:The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings. It shows:
von unten einen Sattel mit der beschriebenen Verstelleinheit, eingestellt auf die schmälste Stellung.from below a saddle with the described adjustment unit, set to the narrowest position.
Dabei zeigt 1 die Sattelnase welche über einen Lagerpunkt 10 wie bei allen üblichen Sätteln mit dem Sattelgestell verbunden ist.1 shows the saddle nose which is connected to the saddle frame via a bearing point 10 as with all conventional saddles.
2 zeigt den Trägerbolzen welcher die Gewindestange 3 mit der Sitzfläche 4 verbindet.2 shows the support bolt which connects the threaded rod 3 with the seat 4.
5 zeigt den Lagerbock welcher die Verstelleinheit 9, bestehend aus Trägerbolzen 2, Gewindestange 3 und Stellrad 6 mit dem Sattelgestell verbindet. Dieser Lagerbock dient gleichzeitig als Führung für das Stellrad 6.5 shows the bearing block which connects the adjustment unit 9, consisting of support bolt 2, threaded rod 3 and adjusting wheel 6, to the saddle frame. This bearing block also serves as a guide for the adjusting wheel 6.
7a zeigt den Spalt zwischen den beiden Sattelhälften bei schmälster Einstellung.7a shows the gap between the two saddle halves at the narrowest setting.
8 zeigt das elastische Verbindungselement zwischen Sattelnase und Sitzfläche.8 shows the elastic connecting element between the saddle nose and the seat.
