Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for the vertical adjustment of a tubular saddle support S consisting of an encasing body to receive a saddle support tube, a spring element arranged in the saddle support tube, which spring element rests in the encasing body and the force of which acts axially on the saddle support S, with the device having at least one locking element.
  • Saddle supports for fastening bicycle saddles are usually fixed with a mechanical clamp strap in the saddle tube.
  • the saddle tube is generally slotted at the upper end so that through the clamping effect, the circumference of the tube is reduced and the saddle tube thus lies in a force-fitting manner against the saddle support S.
  • the clamp strap is tightened with a nut or a quick-acting clamping device is used, in which the clamping force is achieved by throwing a lever.
  • a quick-acting clamp it is possible to vertically adjust and fix the saddle without a tool. This is necessary for example when the bicycle is to be ridden by people of different sizes or when the saddle height is to be adapted in the case of one and same rider through particular circumstances.
  • the saddle height must be set optimally ergonomically, in order to achieve a good power transmission.
  • the rider When travelling downhill, the rider must shift his centre of gravity downward toward the rear according to steepness and difficulty, and for this he must frequently bring his bottom behind the saddle.
  • the lower the saddle the easier the rider can actively and dynamically shift his centre of gravity, but he thereby loses lateral guiding forces, which he can apply with a correspondingly raised saddle with the inner sides of his thighs against the saddle.
  • the optimum height of the saddle is therefore dependent on the respective travel situation.
  • the disadvantage of the described clamping device lies in that the rider has to dismount every time and adjust the saddle vertically.
  • a vertically adjustable saddle support which is free of play is known from the not previously published utility model application 20 2007 001 440.8. There, a clamping device is described for fixing a saddle support, which has a clamping surface which is deformable elastically under pressure. When the system is put under pressure, the saddle support is fixed in a form-fitting manner and hence free of play. The saddle support can be adjusted vertically during travel by means of a remote control.
  • a vertically adjustable saddle support in which the device for the vertical adjustment is fastened externally on the encasing body.
  • a sphere is fixed in bores of the encasing body and of the saddle support tube by means of a locking ring.
  • the stability of the saddle support tube is weakened by the depressions for the spheres which are to be introduced, distributed over the length of the tube.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a vertically adjustable saddle support with a simple reliable operating principle.
  • the device for the vertical adjustment of the saddle support has a locking arrangement arranged in the saddle support tube, which locking arrangement, in a locking setting, holds the locking element in a detent position, in which the saddle support tube is fixed with respect to the encasing body by the locking element, with the locking arrangement releasing the locking element in an unlocking setting.
  • the locking arrangement arranged inside the saddle support tube, can advantageously bring about the locking in that in the saddle support tube at least one opening is provided, through which the locking element in a detent position engages into at least one locking element mounting formed in the encasing body.
  • the entire locking mechanism including the locking element thus remains inside the saddle support tube and the encasing body is is shielded from external influences.
  • a development of the device is particularly advantageous, in which the locking element in the unlocking setting releases itself independently out of the detent position through the relative movement between encasing body and saddle support tube.
  • the locking arrangement can be advantageously acted upon here by the same spring element as the saddle support. Thereby, the same spring element can bring about both the vertical adjustment and also the locking.
  • the locking arrangement may, however, also be acted upon alone or in addition to the first spring element by a second spring element, in order to increase the reliability of the locking mechanism.
  • the locking arrangement has a locking bush which has at least a first guideway for the displacement of the locking element.
  • the first guideway can be constructed differently here. It may, for example, be designed so that an automatic locking is produced with respect to the locking element in a detent position, or it may be designed so that with a particular action of force on the first guideway of the locking bush, the locking is released and the saddle support is unlocked from the encasing body.
  • the closing force between the encasing body (1) and the saddle support tube (2) can be set by the contour of the first guideway (81).
  • means are provided whereby the locking arrangement is displaceable by an operator against the elastic force relative to the saddle support, so that the locking element is released.
  • This can be a Bowden cable device, as is known from the above-mentioned prior art (http://precisioncycling- components.com or WO 2007/117884 A2) and which acts on an actuating lever. It may, however, also be a hydraulically actuated device, as is known for example from disc brakes for bicycles.
  • the locking element is preferably a sphere or is spherical.
  • the concern is that on the side with which it engages into the encasing body, it is designed so that in the unlocking setting, i.e. when it is released from the locking device or the locking bush, it automatically releases itself from the mounting of the encasing body through the elastic force acting on the saddle support and thus releases the fixing between encasing body and saddle support tube.
  • the spring element acting on the saddle support is a gas pressure spring.
  • the outer casing of the gas pressure spring can be, at the same time here, a component of the locking arrangement, in particular the locking bush can be fastened on it.
  • the encasing body is the saddle tube of a bicycle.
  • a further additional tube is saved as encasing body, and the device can be designed so as to be lighter.
  • tubular is to be understood as follows here: All tubular objects such as, for example, the saddle support tube or the encasing body can have different cross-sections. They may have a round cross-section and be a tube or a cylinder rod. However, the cross-section could also be polygonal; in particular, it could have the shape of a regular polygon. Thereby, the saddle support could be fixed radially with respect to the encasing body. In the sense of this application, the term "tubular" is to comprise all objects similar to a rod, with a different cross-section.
