"Butt-saver" TM

Abstract

01 The “BUTT-SAVER™” allows the bicycle seat to move by pivoting upon the top of the seat post from side to side, thus helping to prevent friction to a rider's inner thigh and crotch area. An adjustable spring determines the amount of tension for the side to side movement, depending on the strength of the rider or what the rider deems comfortable. A safety device is built in at nine degrees to prevent the seat from tilting or tipping too far to the left or to the right. The BUTT-SAVER'S unique design allows the bicycle rider's butt to be “as one” with the bicycle seat, thus helping to prevent or reduce the friction that can cause irritation to the inside of the upper thigh and crotch areas. The “BUTT-SAVER™” is available in various types and styles to accommodate the variety of manufactured bicycles.

01 . An apparatus that allows the upper clamp assembly of a bicycle post to pivot from side to side (left to right and right to left).  
   
   
       02 . An apparatus as mention in claim number  01  has a safety feature built in allowing the bicycle seat to swing or pivot to reach a maximum of nine degrees on each side as it pivots, for a total reach or swing of eighteen degrees from far left to far right.  
   
   
       03 . An apparatus that is fully adjustable as described in claim number  04 ,  05 , and  06 , with spring tension.  
   
   
       04 . An apparatus, according to claim number  03  that allows the bicycle rider to have their own degree of movement of the bicycle seat from zero degrees to eighteen degrees.  
   
   
       05 . An apparatus, according to claim numbers  03  and  04  that allows the bicycle rider to determine the amount of resistance or tension upon the movement of the upper bicycle seat post assembly.  
   
   
       06 . An apparatus, according to claim number  03 ,  04 , and  05 , that by turning the adjusting screws clockwise, tightens the spring tension; or by turning the adjusting screws counter clock wise, releases spring tension.  
   
   
       07 . An apparatus, according to claim numbers  03 ,  04 ,  05  and  06 , that creates controlled resistance to the free movement of the upper clamp assembly of a bicycle seat post.  
   
   
       08 . An apparatus that when used in conjunction with the full seat post assembly and a bicycle seat, will help to reduce friction to the bicycle rider's inner thighs and chrotch areas.  
   
   
       09 . An apparatus that when used in conjunction with the full seat post assembly a bicycle seat, allows the bicycle rider's crotch and butt area to adhere or “be one” with the top of the bicycle seat thus helping to reduce or prevent the friction that is caused to the upper thighs and crotch area while riding on a non-swiveling fixed position bicycle seat and seat post.
