  • Patent number: 5011222
    Abstract: An anatomically conforming cycle saddle having a compound surface including an elongated horn section transitioning rearwardly into a laterally flared, raised cantle. A perineum/genital groove is symmetrically disposed along the longitudinal axis of the generally horizontally upper horn surface as seen in plan view. The cantle, having an angle of inclination in the range of 35.degree.-55.degree., preferably 45.degree., includes a pair of opposed, bilaterally symmetrical, inclined dished surfaces, and has a generally triangular, bilaterally symmetrical, raised, inclined coccyx support member disposed centrally and rearwardly therebetween. The concavity of the dished surfaces begin in the forward-most horizontal part of the cantle and extend deeply in the central portion of the cantle, inclining to vertical at the rearward cantle lip. The upper surface of the coccyx support member is inclined at an angle of about 30.degree.
