Clamp for fixing the seat post of a bicycle

Abstract

A clamp for fixing a seat post (14) to a seat tube (12) provided with a slit (18) set in a longitudinal vertical plane (A). The clamp comprises: a pair of deformable branches (24a, 24b) defining a through hole having a cylindrical inner surface (20); a slit (22) between the aforesaid elastically deformable branches (24a, 24b); and a tightening screw (26) set in such a way as to bring up to one another two surfaces (30a, 30b) facing one another of said slit (22) and to reduce the diameter of said cylindrical surface. In a mounted configuration in which the aforesaid tightening screw (26) extends in a position corresponding to the through slit (18) of the seat tube (12), the slit (22) of the clamp (10) opens out onto the aforesaid cylindrical surface (20) in an area that is displaced with respect to the slit (18) of the seat tube (12).
