  • Air-cushioned shorts for cycling
    Patent number: 9877524
    Abstract: A cushioning pad for use with cycling shorts comprises an upper pad layer and a lower pad layer fixed to the upper pad layer. An inflatable chamber is formed by and between the upper pad layer and the lower pad layer. The inflatable chamber comprises a first lateral channel which is nonlinear and which has a width which varies along its length, and a second lateral channel which is nonlinear and which has a width which varies along its length. A pump is provided for inflating the chamber with air, and a release valve is provided for releasing air from the chamber.

  • Air-cushioned shorts for cycling
    Patent number: 9021618
    Abstract: Cycling shorts for protecting a rider from harmful effects occasioned by the design of the substantially unpadded seat of a racing-type cycle. Fabric shorts of conventional or elongated design include a interior protective pad. The pad includes adjoined seat and crotch sections and is symmetrical with respect to an axis of symmetry. It includes an interior chamber for receiving pressurized air. A pump for delivering selectively pressurized air communicates with the interior chamber by means of a conduit. The chamber includes internally honeycombed sections for minimizing air flow so that the cushioning effect of the pad is preserved despite the force exerted by the weight of a wearer on the hard and relatively-inflexible seat.
