Dropper seatpost head assembly

A seatpost assembly comprising:

• a lower saddle rail clamping portion rotatably coupled with a housing;
• an upper saddle rail clamping portion to couple with said lower saddle rail clamping portion to form a clamping structure to clamp at least one saddle rail of a saddle;
• a first fastener to fixedly couple said upper saddle rail clamping portion with said lower saddle rail clamping portion at a first location on said housing;
• at least a second fastener to fixedly couple said upper saddle rail clamping portion with said lower saddle rail clamping portion at a second location on said housing, wherein an adjustment to one or both of said first fastener and said second fastener adjusts a pitch of said saddle,
• wherein none of said first fastener or at least said second fastener protrude into a region between said upper saddle rail clamping portion and said saddle;
• and
• at least one of said first fastener or said second fastener is inverted in said housing to increase a standoff distance between a bottom of said saddle and a top of said first fastener or said second fastener,
• said inversion causing a head of said at least one of said first fastener or said second fastener to be located at a top of said saddle rail clamp assembly,
• said inversion further causing a mechanical component that tightens or loosens said first fastener or said second fastener to be located at a bottom of said saddle rail clamp assembly.

A system comprising:

• a lower post for insertion into a seat tube of a vehicle;
• an upper post to telescopically couple with respect to said lower post to form a dropper seatpost;
• a housing coupled to one end of said upper post;
• a saddle rail clamp assembly coupled to said housing, said saddle rail clamp assembly comprising:
• a lower saddle rail clamping portion rotatably coupled with said housing, said lower saddle rail clamping portion having a drooped shape such that said lower saddle rail clamping portion hangs down in a horizontal plane that intersects at or below a portion of said housing;
• and
• an upper saddle rail clamping portion to couple with said lower saddle rail clamping portion to form a clamping structure in said horizontal plane that intersects at least said portion of said housing;
• said saddle rail clamp assembly to couple at least one saddle rail of a saddle with said dropper seatpost via said clamping structure;
• a first fastener to fixedly couple said upper saddle rail clamping portion with said lower saddle rail clamping portion at a first location on said housing;
• at least a second fastener to fixedly couple said upper saddle rail clamping portion with said lower saddle rail clamping portion at a second location on said housing, wherein an adjustment to one or both of said first fastener and said second fastener adjusts a pitch of said saddle;
• and
• at least one of said first fastener or said second fastener inverted in said housing to increase a standoff distance between a bottom of said saddle and a top of said first fastener or said second fastener,
• said inversion causing a head of said at least one of said first fastener or said second fastener to be located at a top of said saddle rail clamp assembly,
• said inversion further causing a mechanical component that tightens or loosens said first fastener or said second fastener to be located at a bottom of said saddle rail clamp assembly.

A dropper seatpost with head assembly comprising:

• a lower post for insertion into a seat tube of a vehicle;
• an upper post to telescopically slide with respect to said lower post to form a dropper seatpost;
• a housing coupled to one end of said upper post;
• a saddle rail clamp assembly to couple at least one saddle rail of a saddle with said dropper seatpost via a clamping structure, said saddle rail clamp assembly comprising:
• a lower saddle rail clamping portion rotatably coupled with said housing,
• said lower saddle rail clamping portion having a drooped shape such that said lower saddle rail clamping portion hangs down in a plane that intersects at or below a portion of said housing;
• and
• an upper saddle rail clamping portion to couple with said lower saddle rail clamping portion to form said clamping structure in said plane that intersects at or below said portion of said housing;
• a first fastener to fixedly couple said upper saddle rail clamping portion with said lower saddle rail clamping portion at a first location on said housing;
• and
• at least a second fastener to fixedly couple said upper saddle rail clamping portion with said lower saddle rail clamping portion at a second location on said housing, wherein an adjustment to one or both of said first fastener and said second fastener adjusts a pitch of said saddle;
• and
• at least one of said first fastener or said second fastener inverted in said housing to increase a standoff distance between a bottom of said saddle and a top of said first fastener or said second fastener,
• said inversion causing a head of said at least one of said first fastener or said second fastener to be located at a top of said saddle rail clamp assembly,
• said inversion further causing a mechanical component that tightens or loosens said first fastener or said second fastener to be located at a bottom of said saddle rail clamp assembly.
