  • Patent number: 6997470
    Abstract: A pedaling apparatus (10) including a frame assembly having a front and a rear sections with a hollow seat tube (12), and a seat post (18) supported by said seat tube (12). The seat post (18) has attachment means for attaching a seat (16). The seat post (18) and the seat tube (12) are supporting the seat (16) at an adjustable position relative to the rear section. The seat tube (12) has a substantially curved part to accommodate therein a compatible curved part of the seat post (18). The curved parts of the seat tube (12) and the seat post (18) are configured for telescopic adjustment of the position of the attached seat (16) along a curved trajectory path extending upwardly and rearwardly relative to said rear section to suit users of different heights and physiques. The apparatus (10) may have a pair of pedals (26) arranged so that the user is sitting in a substantially upright pedaling position on the seat and is far enough behind the pedals (26) to give the legs an uncramped and efficient pedaling action.

  • Patent number: 6045180
    Abstract: A cycle seat providing rider comfort and accommodating various styles of riding while providing substantially minimal pressure on the urogenital area of the rider during pedalling. The lateral portions of the seat do not interfere with the thighs of the rider during pedalling, thus allowing the legs of the rider to be angle downward to meet the pedals of the seat with substantially minimal obstruction. The cycle seat includes a ridge-like member intermediate to support surfaces which are adapted to support respective ischial tuberosities of the rider. The central ridge-like member supports the coccyx and the pubic bones of the rider when the upper torso of the rider is substantially upright and is also capable of supporting the public bones when the rider's pelvis is angled substantially forward.
