  • Patent number: 9394022
    Abstract: A sitting assembly is disclosed including a first and a second saddle pad for a transition between a first state and a second state. In the first state, the saddle pad will hang down, such that a user may step over the saddle pad. In the second state, the saddle pad will have a substantial horizontal orientation suitable for sitting. The transition may be a rotation such that the sitting assembly is narrower in the first state than in the second state. A lever may be present for effecting the transition. The sitting assembly is intended for use on vehicles, and is suitably coupled to a frame thereof by means of a saddle pin.
