  • Patent number: 7125072
    Abstract: A seat rail for a bicycle seat and a method of fabricating same are disclosed. The seat rail comprises a rod having one or more flutes formed along the length of the rod. The seat rail provides support for a bicycle seat and provides means for securing the seat to the frame of a bicycle. The flutes in the rod reduce the effective cross-sectional area of the rod which results in a significant decrease in the weight of the seat rail, but without a significant loss of rigidity and strength. The fabrication method comprises providing an elongated rod-shaped feedstock, forming at least one flute along the length of the rod-shaped feedstock, and then bending the fluted feedstock to form the seat rail.

  • Patent number: 4836604
    Abstract: A saddle pillar for bicycles and the like comprises a support element fixable to the bicycle frame and having a head on which a device for supporting and clamping the saddle is mounted in an adjustable position. The latter comprises a lower support and an upper bracket between which a part of the load-bearing structure of the saddle is interposed, and clamping means which urge the lower support and the upper bracket against each other and against the head of the support element to clamp the part of the load-bearing structure of the saddle. The head of the support element is provided with adjustment means for effecting a variation of the position of the device for clamping the saddle to the head of the support element after the release of the clamping means. The clamping means preferably comprise a lever device for rapid clamping and release, while the adjustment means comprise a micrometric adjustment device.
