Abstract
Sattelstütze für ein Fahrrad, die mit ihrem unteren Ende zu einem Fahrradrahmen gerichtet ist und an ihrem oberen Ende mit einem Sattel verbindbar ist, wobei die Sattelstütze in ihrem freistehenden Bereich zumindest einen Längsabschnitt aufweist, welcher zumindest aus einem vorderen Stützelement (1) mit einem oberen Ende (11) und einem hinteren Stützelement (2) mit einem oberen Ende (12), welche nicht fest miteinander verbunden sind, besteht, wobei zumindest einer der Stützelemente (1, 2) dazu vorbestimmt ist durch seine Verbiegung die Stöße wesentlich abzufedern, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass eines der beiden Stützelemente (1, 2) in seinem oberen Ende (11, 12) mit dem Sattel fest verbunden ist und die Übertragung der während des Betriebes auftretenden Stöße von diesem besagten Stützelement (1, 2) auf das andere Stützelement (1, 2) mittels eines dämpfenden Elementes (3) erfolgt.Seatpost for a bicycle, which is directed with its lower end to a bicycle frame and is connectable at its upper end with a saddle, wherein the seatpost in its free-standing area has at least one longitudinal portion which at least from a front support element (1) with an upper End (11) and a rear support member (2) having an upper end (12) which are not fixedly connected to each other, wherein at least one of the support elements (1, 2) is intended to substantially cushion the shocks by its bending, characterized characterized in that one of the two support elements (1, 2) is fixedly connected to the saddle in its upper end (11, 12) and the transmission of the impacts occurring during operation of said support element (1, 2) to the other support element (1, 2). 1, 2) by means of a damping element (3).
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Sattelstütze gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a seatpost according to the preamble of
Sattelstützen dieser Art sind aus der
Deswegen ist die Aufgabe der Erfindung eine Sattelstütze zu konstruieren, welche einen optimierten Federweg, bei optimierter Federrate und optimierte Dämpfung aufweist. Ferner soll erreicht werden, dass ein geringeres Gewicht, gutes Ansprechverhalten wie auch das Prinzip von wenigen Bauteilen realisiert werden kann.Therefore, the object of the invention to construct a seat post, which has an optimized travel, with optimized spring rate and optimized damping. Furthermore, it should be achieved that a lower weight, good response as well as the principle of a few components can be realized.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.This object is achieved by the features specified in
Erfindungsgemäß ist der Sattel nur mit einem der beiden Stützelemente fest verbindbar. Während der Fahrt werden die Stöße von unten auf den Fahrer übertragen. Dabei wirkt das Fahrergewicht als Widerlager. Weil der Sattel nur mit einem Stützelement fest verbunden ist, können sich die beiden oberen Enden (
Durch das Kombinieren von Stützelementen mit unterschiedlicher Steifigkeit kann die Kennlinie (Kraft-Weg) der Sattelstütze beeinflusst werden. So zum Beispiel ein biegsameres vorderes Stützelement mit einem steiferen hinteren Stützelement kombiniert, ergibt eine Sattelstütze mit sensiblem Verhalten.By combining support elements with different rigidity, the characteristic (force-way) of the seat post can be influenced. For example, a more flexible front support combined with a stiffer rear support provides a seat post with sensitive behavior.
Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung gemäß Zeichnungen.Embodiments of the invention according to drawings.
