Abstract
A bicycle saddle and handlebar height adjustment device including a tubular element provided with elements for its connection to the saddle, and presenting a portion cooperating with a support element for the tubular element. The support element is associated with a ring nut rotating thereon and presenting a first thread cooperating with a corresponding first counter-thread provided on the tubular element. An alignment element is present to maintain the angular position between the tubular element and the support element. The ring nut is associated with the support element by way of a second thread cooperating with a corresponding second counter-thread provided on the support element. The first and second threads are counter-rotating.
Claims16
A bicycle comprising:
- a saddle and
- a handlebar, and
- a height adjustment device for the saddle or the handlebar, comprising
- a tubular element provided with connection means connected to the bicycle saddle or the bicycle handlebar, and
- a support element for said tubular element, the support element being fixable to a bicycle frame, said support element being associated with a ring nut rotating about the support element, the ring nut presenting a first thread cooperating with a corresponding first counter-thread provided on the tubular element, alignment means between the tubular element and the support element to maintain the relative angular position between the tubular element and the support element,
- wherein said ring nut is associated with the support element by a second thread cooperating with a corresponding second counter-thread provided on the support element, the first thread and the second thread being counter-rotating, and
- wherein said tubular element comprises a portion which fits into a corresponding portion of the support element, said portion comprising a limit stop arranged to abuttingly halt against a step of the support element, to limit the travel of the tubular element.
A bicycle comprising:
- a saddle and
- a handlebar, and
- a height adjustment device for the saddle or the handlebar, comprising a tubular element provided with connection means connected to the bicycle saddle or the bicycle handlebar, and a support element for said tubular element, the support element being fixable to a bicycle frame, said support element being associated with a ring nut rotating about the support element, the ring nut presenting a first thread cooperating with a corresponding first counter-thread provided on the tubular element, alignment means between the tubular element and the support element to maintain the relative angular position between the tubular element and the support element,
- wherein said ring nut is associated with the support element by a second thread cooperating with a corresponding second counter-thread provided on the support element, the first thread and the second thread being counter-rotating,
- wherein gasket means are provided between said ring nut and said tubular element and/or between said ring nut and said support element.
