Abstract
Abstract A saddle for a bicycle, motorcycle, or the like has a pair of longitudinally extending parallel mounting rods which are held in a pair of seats in a mounting plate by means of a clamping member which overlies these rods. A pair of bolts spaced in front and in back of a boss formed either on the underside of the plate or on the upper surface of the support head of the bicycle engage the clamping member so that when one bolt is screwed in and the other out the plate and thus the saddle is rocked about a horizontal transverse axis. The securing member can be a pair of transversely extending tubes formed with crosswise treaded bores into which the bolt ends are threaded, or a plate with a pair of longitudinal grooves may overlie the first-mentioned plate to sandwich the mounting rods.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
142 words
A mounting assembly for securing a saddle having a pair of transversely spaced and longitudinally extending mounting rods to a support head with an upwardly directed support face, said assembly comprising: a plate formed with a pair of longitudinally extending and transversely spaced seats receiving said rods and having a face turned toward said support face; at least one securing member overlying said rods on said plate; a transverse boss forming an elongated rounded cross section ridge on one of said faces and resting against the other face, said other face being generally flat; and a pair of longitudinally spaced adjustment means flanking said boss and each including an adjustment element spanned between said member and said head for tilting said plate and said saddle relative to said head by shortening of one of said elements and lengthening of the other element.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
