Abstract: A saddle includes a body of thermoplastic material constituting a load-bearing structure on which a padding of expanded plastics material is fitted. The padding is made of an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer which does not require the application of a covering layer. The padding is formed by injection moulding and allowed to expand to a size larger than the final size. The padding is then placed on the load-bearing structure and is firmly coupled to the load-bearing structure upon cooling and shrinking.

Abstract: The body (1) of the saddle is provided in the lower part with two rectilinear limbs (2 and 3) which advantageously have a circular shape at the respective ends and which are turned towards the interior. These two limbs are grasped by the parts (4 and 5) of the clamp. These parts are connected between themselves and connected with the head (6) of the sleeve (7) with a screw (8). The latter has advantageously an Allen head (9). In this manner, the hooking of the body (1) of the saddle to the sleeve (7) is simplified and it is also possible to regulate the position of the saddle both in the horizontal direction and in the inclination of the saddle by maneuvering the screw (8). The saddle consists of a one-piece monohull body.
