Patent number: 10351205Abstract: An article includes a body having at least a holding or resting surface, and a plurality of spaced-apart fine pillars made of a resilient and deformable plastic material and projected from the holding or resting surface of the body. Each of the spaced-apart fine pillars includes a body portion with a bore defining a longitudinal axis, a base end and a free end. The base end of the fine pillar is integrally connected with the holding or resting surface the body. The body portion of the fine pillar extends from the base end along the longitudinal axis to the free end in a predetermined height.

Patent number: 10093373Abstract: A load-bearing frame of a bicycle saddle comprises a base and a rim surrounding the base. The base is made of a first plastic material of predetermined rigidity and includes a relatively narrow anterior portion and a relatively wider posterior portion. The base further has a top surface, a bottom surface, and a peripheral edge. The rim is made of a second plastic material of rigidity being smaller than that of the first plastic material. The rim has an inner side coupled with the periphery edge of the base and an outer side extending upwardly from the inner side to define a first receiving space with a first upper opening.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2016Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: VELO ENTERPRISE CO., LTD.Inventor: Tsai-Yun Yu

Patent number: 9738340Abstract: A shell for a bicycle saddle has a groove opened through top and bottom surfaces thereof, a narrow anterior portion having a front edge, and a wide posterior portion having a rear edge and divided by an imaginary longitudinal axis passing through the front and rear edges and the groove into left and right regions where two sockets are located, respectively. The groove has a longitudinal section extending along the axis, and a transverse section extending from a rear end of the longitudinal section to the left and right regions so as to form two elastic wings adjacent to the groove. Each socket has a connecting sheet and an insertion block and extends from rear and lateral edges of the wide posterior portion to a position under the bottom surface to form a space therebetween. As a result, the shell has great elasticity and structural strength.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2014Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Assignee: VELO ENTERPRISE CO., LTD.Inventor: Tsai-Yun Yu

Patent number: 9669889Abstract: A cover for a bicycle saddle comprises a basic layer and a first auxiliary layer. The basic layer is made of a first plastic material and has a top surface with a first friction factor. The first auxiliary layer is made of a second plastic material with a second friction factor and is directly disposed on a predetermined area of the top surface of the basic layer. The second friction factor is smaller than the first friction factor. A method is provided for making a cover as above.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2015Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: VELO ENTERPRISE CO., LTD.Inventor: Tsai-Yun Yu
