Abstract

Abstract A saddle includes an injected saddle body made of a composite material, a flexible decorative sheet, and a transparent and soft elastic covering. The saddle body has a top wall and a surrounding wall which projects from a peripheral portion of the top wall. The decorative sheet is in the form of a thin fiber layer which is adhered closely to the outer surfaces of the top and surrounding walls of the saddle body, and includes a decorative unit which is attached to an outer surface of the thin fiber layer. The outer surface of the surrounding wall of the saddle body has an embossed decorative portion of a predetermined shape beneath the decorative sheet so as to provide the decorative unit of the decorative sheet with a three-dimensional visual effect. The transparent, soft elastic covering is attached closely to the outer surface of the thin fiber layer of the decorative sheet and is located over the decorative unit.
