Patent number: 9688330Abstract: There is provided a bicycle saddle, having two identical portions (30, 31) arranged symmetrically with respect to the longitudinal axis of the bicycle saddle. A channel (15), open from top to bottom, is provided along the longitudinal axis of the bicycle saddle. The front of the saddle is curved downwardly in an aquiline shape. The two identical portions (30, 31) from the rear ends thereof up to extensions (9, 10) that laterally delimit the central channel (15) are provided with substantially flat areas (1, 2) on which the gluteal muscles of the user are intended to be positioned during use of the saddle. The substantially flat areas (1, 2) are substantially parallel to the ground on which the wheels of the bicycle rest.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2014Date of Patent: June 27, 2017Assignee: SELLE SMP S.A.S. di Maurizio SchiavonInventors: Franco Schiavon, Maurizio Schiavon, Francesco Riondato

Patent number: 9296438Abstract: There is provided a bicycle saddle (1) with two identical portions (2, 3) arranged symmetrically with respect to the longitudinal axis of the saddle, the portions being mutually separated, at the upper part by a substantially dove-tail-shaped inlet (4) and mutually connected by a depression (11), after which a channel-shaped-hole (5) open from top to bottom is provided. The inlet (4), the depression (11), and the channel (5) are arranged at the median longitudinal axis of the saddle. Due to the configuration, the user using the saddle during cycling does not feel the pressure of the structures on the floor of the perineum, does not feel the temporary prostatic congestion and it does not bruise the coxal bone.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2012Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: SELLE SMP S.A.S.

Patent number: 8230520Abstract: A sports bib, in particular for cycling, having a pair of shorts, which can have either short or long legs, extending into a vest, which ends with a pair of straps. The bib is equipped with a zipper at the housing position of the anus and the genital organs. The zipper is provided with characteristics such as to not produce scrapes or rubbing at the genital areas and crotch on the user during movements and in particular while pedalling.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2008Date of Patent: July 31, 2012Assignee: SELLE SMP s.a.s di M.

Publication number: 20120013099Abstract: A shoe for racing bicycles on the underlying sole of which a plate (8) is mounted fixed to the sole (4?) through screws (8?), the stems of which pass through slots (8?) made on the plate (8) and are screwed into threaded holes previously made on the sole (4?). The plate (8) has a longitudinal center-line axis (25) which is separated from the vertical plane (30) tangent to the outer end of the pedal crank corresponding to the shoe by a distance (23) which is 6-8 mm greater than the corresponding distance foreseen for a similar per se known type of shoe sole.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2009Publication date: January 19, 2012Inventor: Francesco Riondato

Patent number: 7699391Abstract: This relates to a bicycle saddle of the type that presents two identical portions (1, 1?) longitudinally symmetrical. Thanks to its special conformation, said saddle permits the cyclist to avoid the occurrence of pathologies normally caused by the use of a racing saddle of commonly known types, eliminating the crushing of the vascular structure of the perineum, as well as the testicles of male cyclists and the clitoris of female cyclists. The special geometry permits a pedaling action without causing friction of the thigh muscles, in particular the delicate and adducent muscles.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2005Date of Patent: April 20, 2010Inventor: Francesco Riondato

Patent number: 7537281Abstract: The finding regards a bicycle saddle of the type which has two identical portions (1?, 1?), longitudinally symmetrical. Each of these two portions has a rear part (2), a part (5) of transversal middle plane as well as a front part (6). The two portions (1? and 1?) of the saddle are separated, at their intermediate parts (5) and front parts (6), by a channel (8). Thanks to this particular configuration the user arranges his buttocks very comfortably on the rear part of the saddle and avoids the squashing of his pelvic viscera. The saddle according to the finding is suitable both for those who use a bicycle for short journeys and for users who use a bicycle for long journeys like, for example, cycling-lovers and amateur and professional sports people).Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2004Date of Patent: May 26, 2009Inventor: Francesco Riondato

Publication number: 20090079237Abstract: There is disclosed a bicycle saddle, of the type that has two identical portions (1,1?)longitudinally symmetrical. The saddle has a central channel (20) which is closed at the bottom by a thin wall (24) permitting an optimal use of the saddle when the cyclist peddles in adverse climatic conditions, in particular in case of rain. The wall (24) closing the channel (20) has a small opening (25) to make it easier for various dusts and liquids to exit or come out from the channel (20).Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2007Publication date: March 26, 2009Inventor: Francesco Riondato

Patent number: 7475940Abstract: The invention relates to a support rail for a bicycle saddle shell of the type that presents two portions (1?, 1?) perfectly symmetrical in relation to the longitudinal plane of symmetry of the saddle. Thanks to its particular shape, both professional and touring cyclists are able to find the saddle always in the same position as previously set before use, even after several stresses due to intense and prolonged saddle use.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2005Date of Patent: January 13, 2009Assignee: M. d'A.
