  • Patent number: 4204713
    Abstract: Apparatus for attaching a molded bicycle saddle cover to its companion base member. The attaching apparatus includes at least one prong member fixedly attached to the base member at a predetermined spaced distance inwardly of a downwardly extending flange which is integrally provided along the entire periphery of the base member. The prong structure cooperates with the flange in defining a narrow channel which snugly receives a folded flap portion that is integrally provided along the entire periphery of the cover, i.e., the folded flap portion contiguously engages the flange. The cover is formed from a substance wherein the flap portion is somewhat inherently resilient in nature while the thickness of the flap portion is sufficient so as to impart a degree of yieldable stiffness thereto, thus contributing significantly to the effectiveness of the attachment apparatus.
