DE20211311U1 - Bicycle riding breeches set has seat padding constructed differently in that with breeches for flat sitting angle additional padding is provided in forward region, and with steep sitting angle has reinforcing in seat bone region - Google Patents

Abstract

The riding breeches set has seat padding constructed differently depending upon a predetermined sitting angle, whereby with breeches for a flat sitting angle (alpha ) an additional padding is provided in the forward region of the breeches in addition to the padding for the seat bones, while with breeches for a steep angle (alpha ) the padding in the seat bones region is reinforced. For angles of 0-30 degrees the padding extends in unit thicknesses from the seat bone region as far as the forward region and consists of a comparatively rigid material, while for angles of 30-60 degrees the padding extends from the front to the rear region and is shock absorbing in the seat bone region.

Description

The invention relates to a Bicycle pants set, consisting of at least two bicycle pants with on the seat cushion provided on a bicycle saddle.

Such cycling pants are sufficiently out of the Known practice. They are mostly tight-fitting short ones or long trousers with a seat pad on the inside sewn is. This seat cushion usually has a tailored shape and extends from the area of the sit bones beyond the genital area in the front seating area. These seat cushions serve to reduce pressure points on the Avoid cycling as much as possible, or the pressure load towards a larger area to distribute. With conventional Bicycle pants usually have a uniform padding on the seat pads, regardless on what a Pressure load actually prevails.

This is where the invention comes in it has set itself the task of providing a set of cycling pants who actually occurring pressure loads takes into account.

This object is achieved according to the invention solved, that the seat pads of the bike pants depending on a predetermined Seat angle of the cyclist are different, by cycling pants for a flat seat angle next to padding for the sit bone padding is also provided in the front trouser area, while at the cycling pants for a steep seat angle the upholstery in the area of the sit bones reinforced is trained.

The invention is based on the knowledge based on that depending the seat angle of the cyclist the pressure load in the area of the buttocks on different Places is different. This is the seat angle when racing or mountain biking For example, very flat, which, in conjunction with the narrow racing saddles, means that there is a relatively high pressure load in the front seating area is while the pressure load is lower in the area of the sit bones. On the other hand is used when riding upright bicycles, for example on city bikes Pressure load almost exclusively via the Seat bone added. The padding can therefore be used in the front area of the pants be diminished accordingly while they reinforced in the area of the sit bones must be trained.

In this context, it is beneficial if in a pair of cycling pants, the seat pad is at a predetermined Seat angle from 0-30 ° in essentially in uniform strength extends from the area of the sit bone to the front seat area and from a relatively solid Material exists. Such a design is especially for racing bike and mountain biking thought.

For cycling pants that are for one Seat angle determined from 30-60 ° are, it is convenient if the seat cushion is from the front to the rear seat area extends, in the area of the seat bones shock-absorbing additional padding are provided. The seat angle range of 30-60 ° concerns so-called trekking bikes. While here the pressure loads also occur in the front area also and reinforced Pressure loads take place in the area of the sit bones.

Both in road cycling as well when trekking, the seat angle is still so flat that it There may be pressure points in the genital area. For this reason are preferred in the area of the longitudinal center the seat cushion padding recesses are provided for the genital area of the cyclist.

At a predetermined seat angle from 60-90 °, as it mainly occurs when riding an upright bicycle in the city, the seat cushion extends from a relatively soft material throughout from front to back of the seating area, in the area of the sit bones shock absorbing reinforcement pads from a contrast firmer material are provided. In the area of the greatest pressure load the pressure is due to this combination of materials over a larger area distributed what a noticeable Relieves pressure.

For attaching the different seat pads in a pair of cycling pants is it convenient if the seat cushions are covered with a all-round flat edge for sewing into the cycling pants are.

In preferred embodiments the seat cushions have a tailored fit to the respective bicycle saddle Form on, in the area of the waists aprons from a Upholstery material more flexible material are attached. Pad these aprons the inner thighs opposite the sides of the bicycle saddle and thus reduce any chafe marks.

The different padding areas are preferred constructed as a multi-layer laminate, which with a tricot is covered and connected. The different upholsteries are connected in a non-slip manner so that even after repeated use of each cushion in the right place.

It is also preferred if the Side of the seat pad facing the trousers with a non-woven fabric is covered, which is connected to the laminate. Such a nonwoven prevents the trousers from slipping compared to the Seat cushion, which further improves the pleasant wearing properties.

In the following, embodiments of the Inventions explained with reference to drawings. Show it:

1 a schematically indicated cyclist with the indication of the seat angle range;

2 a plan view of a seat pad of a pair of cycling pants;

3 a longitudinal section through the seat upholstery 2 ;

4 a schematically indicated cyclist stating the seat angle;

5 a plan view of a seat pad of a pair of cycling pants;

6 a longitudinal section through the seat cushion 5 ;

7 the schematic representation of a cyclist stating the seat angle;

8th the top view of a seat pad of a pair of cycling pants; and

9 a longitudinal section through a seat upholstery.

In 1 a road cyclist is shown schematically, it being possible to see that the seat angle range α is between 0 and 30 °.

From the in 2 in the top view of the seat cushion it can be seen that the seat cushion is essentially of uniform thickness from the front seat area 2 is continuous to the rear seating area. In the area of the longitudinal center is the seat upholstery 4 except (reference number 3 ) to avoid pressure points in the genital area of the cyclist.

The area of the seat cushion is flattened around the upholstery. On this edge 5 the seat pad can be sewn into the pants. The seat cushion is like from the 2 can be seen, tailored and adapted to the shape of a bicycle saddle. In the area of the waist there are aprons on the sides 6 and 7 attached, which consist of a more flexible material than the seat cushion. These side skirts lie against the side of the bicycle saddle when cycling and prevent the inside of the legs from rubbing against the bicycle saddle.

The longitudinal section acc. 3 shows that the seat cushion has a multi-layer structure. The top layer forms a tricot 8th , the middle layer, which is the actual padding, is a shock-absorbing, densely foamed plastic 9 , Below is a thin layer of foam 10 provided down by a nonwoven fabric 11 is covered. The padding and the tricot are glued together using a thermal connection process.

That in the 4 to 6 The embodiment shown corresponds in principle to the embodiment shown above. However, it can be seen that the seat cushion is provided for a different seat angle range, namely 30-60 °. Due to the different pressure loads, which now also involve the seat bones, there are additional shock-absorbing seat pads in the rear seat area, i.e. in the area of the seat bones 12 intended. In contrast to the exemplary embodiment described above, the continuous seat upholstery is 9 the cushion pads are somewhat softer 12 on the other hand are made of a firmer foam material. The embodiment according to the 7 to 9 differs from the previously described exemplary embodiments in that no recess is provided in the area of the genitals because there is no pressure load due to the steep and upright sitting position. The shock absorbing pads 12 are formed from a firmer foam material, as in the previously described embodiment. the 4 to 6 ,

The advantage of the previously described and depending on the seat angle differently designed seat padding for the bike pants is that too with different seat angles, the pressure loads are evenly distributed can be so that the cyclist is less tired can drive.
