Abstract
A sitting assembly is disclosed including a first and a second saddle pad for a transition between a first state and a second state. In the first state, the saddle pad will hang down, such that a user may step over the saddle pad. In the second state, the saddle pad will have a substantial horizontal orientation suitable for sitting. The transition may be a rotation such that the sitting assembly is narrower in the first state than in the second state. A lever may be present for effecting the transition. The sitting assembly is intended for use on vehicles, and is suitably coupled to a frame thereof by means of a saddle pin.
Claims21
Sitting assembly designed for use on a vehicle, comprising:
- a support shaft;
- and
- a saddle coupled to a hinging unit, the saddle being movable between a first stated to a second state, wherein, in the first state, a user may get onto the vehicle and above the saddle, wherein, in the second state, the saddle pad is locked and in a position to support the user, the saddle including
- a first and a second saddle pad suitable for supporting a buttocks of the user, wherein upon transition from the first state to the second state, the first and second saddle pads are brought from an orientation, in which the first and second saddle pads hang down, to a substantially horizontal orientation, the transition being a rotation of the first and the second saddle pads along an axis substantially parallel to a primary extension of the saddle, and the hinging unit including
- a lever, hinging around the support shaft, and
- extenders, extending from an end of the lever to bottoms of said saddle pads, the lever being provided with a haft for holding the lever, such that a downward movement at the haft of the lever brings about an upward rotation of the saddle pads, and wherein said extenders support the saddle pads in the second state.

- a saddle coupled to a hinging unit, the hinging unit including a lever hinging around the support shaft and the saddle including a first and a second saddle pad suitable for supporting a buttocks of a user, the saddle being movable between a first state to a second state,
- wherein in the first state, the first and second saddle pads are in an orientation in which the first and second saddle pads hang down in the second state, the first and second saddle pads are locked in a substantially horizontal orientation and in a position to support the user,
- wherein, upon transition from the first state to the second state, the first and second saddle pads are brought from the orientation in which the first and second saddle pads hang down to the substantially horizontal orientation, the transition being a rotation along an axis that is substantially parallel to a primary extension of the saddle, and
- wherein the saddle is supported with a support device to support the first and second saddle pads in the second state.
