Abstract

A bicycle saddle rail includes a first connecting structure, two arc rods and a second connecting structure. The first connecting structure includes a main body and two first connecting portions. Each of the arc rods has a first end and a second end, and each of the first ends of the two arc rods is integrally connected to one of the first connecting portions of the first connecting structure. The second connecting structure includes two second connecting portions, wherein each of the second connecting portions is integrally connected to one of the second ends of the two arc rods, respectively, and the second connecting structure is connected with the first connecting structure via the two arc rods, so that the first connecting structure, the two arc rods and the second connecting structure are connected to each other and formed the bicycle saddle rail with a closed structure.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A bicycle saddle assembly structure, comprising:
a bicycle saddle rail, comprising:
a first connecting structure comprising a main body and two first connecting portions, wherein the two first connecting portions are disposed on two sides of the main body, respectively;
two arc rods disposed side by side, wherein each of the arc rods has a first end and a second end, and each of the first ends of the two arc rods is integrally connected to one of the first connecting portions of the first connecting structure; and
a second connecting structure comprising two second connecting portions, wherein each of the second connecting portions is integrally connected to one of the second ends of the two arc rods, respectively, and the second connecting structure is connected with the first connecting structure via the two arc rods, so that the first connecting structure, the two arc rods and the second connecting structure are connected to each other and forms the bicycle saddle rail with a closed structure; and

a base disposed on the bicycle saddle rail and having a wide edge portion and a narrow edge portion, and the base comprising:
a first binding structure integrally disposed on the wide edge portion and correspondingly connected to the first connecting structure of the bicycle saddle rail; and
a second binding structure integrally disposed on the narrow edge portion and correspondingly connected to the second connecting structure of the bicycle saddle rail;

wherein the first connecting structure comprises at least one first connecting element, the first binding structure comprises at least one first binding element, and the first connecting element is correspondingly connected to the first binding element, wherein the first connecting element is an engaging base, the first binding element is an engaging block, and the engaging block is detachably connected with the engaging base;
wherein the second connecting structure comprises at least one second connecting element, the second binding structure comprises at least one second binding element, and the second connecting element is correspondingly connected to the second binding element, wherein the second connecting element is an embedding base, the second binding element is an embedding block, and the embedding block is detachably connected with the embedding base;
wherein the second connecting structure further comprises a third connecting element, the second binding structure further comprises a third binding element, and the third binding element is correspondingly inserted in the third connecting element.

2. The bicycle saddle assembly structure of claim 1 , wherein a shape of the second connecting structure is semicircular rod-shaped, a level of the third connecting element is higher than a level of each of the two second connecting portions, and the third connecting element extends along a direction from an inner arc portion of the second connecting structure being semicircular rod-shaped toward the first connecting structure.

3. The bicycle saddle assembly structure of claim 1 , wherein a shape of the second connecting structure is semicircular rod-shaped, and the two second connecting portions are disposed on two ends of the second connecting structure, respectively.

4. The bicycle saddle assembly structure of claim 1 , wherein the bicycle saddle rail is generally formed as a closed ring structure.

5. The bicycle saddle assembly structure of claim 1 , wherein the first connecting structure has a mounting face facing to the base, two of the first connecting elements are disposed on the mounting face, respectively, and each of the first ends of the two arc rods is integrally connected to a face which is different from the mounting face of the first connecting structure.

6. The bicycle saddle assembly structure of claim 1 , wherein a material of the first connecting structure, the two arc rods and the second connecting structure is a carbon fiber.

7. The bicycle saddle assembly structure of claim 1 , wherein a material of the base is a carbon fiber.
