Motorcycle underwear seat pads

Abstract

The present invention relates to a protective seat pad for use inside a motorcycle pant. The protective seat pad will generally comprise two leg extensions extending from the main body of the seat pad, which define a space between the leg extensions. The protective seat pad further comprises raised ribs in the main body of the seat pad and the leg extensions.

1 . A protective seat pad for attaching inside a motorcycle pant, wherein the seat pad comprises a main body comprising a plurality of raised ribs positioned to conform against the sitz bones of a rider. 
     
     
         2 . The protective seat pad of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of perforations located between at least some of the raised ribs of the main body. 
     
     
         3 . The protective seat pad of  claim 1 , wherein the raised ribs of the main body extend over substantially all of the main body. 
     
     
         4 . The protective seat pad of  claim 1 , wherein the raised ribs of the main body comprise a first cluster of raised ribs on a first side of the seat pad and a second cluster of raised ribs on a second side of the seat pad, and a space devoid of raised ribs between the first cluster of raised ribs and the second cluster of raised ribs. 
     
     
         5 . The protective seat pad of  claim 1 , wherein the raised ribs of the main body are oriented substantially perpendicular to the direction toward which the leg of a rider extends from the main body of the seat pad. 
     
     
         6 . The protective seat pad of  claim 5 , wherein the raised ribs of the main body are curved. 
     
     
         7 . The protective seat pad of  claim 6 , wherein the raised ribs of the main body are curved convexly in the direction toward which the leg of a rider extends from the main body of the seat pad. 
     
     
         8 . The protective seat pad of  claim 1 , further comprising two leg extensions extending from the main body and along the underside of the leg defining a space between the two leg extensions, wherein each of the two leg extensions comprise a plurality of raised ribs oriented substantially perpendicular to the direction from which the leg extensions extend from the main body. 
     
     
         9 . The protective seat pad of  claim 8 , further comprising a plurality of perforations located between at least some of the raised ribs of the leg extensions. 
     
     
         10 . The protective seat pad of  claim 8 , wherein the raised ribs of the leg extensions are curved. 
     
     
         11 . The protective seat pad of  claim 9 , wherein the raised ribs of the leg extensions are curved convexly in the direction from which the leg portions extend from the main body. 
     
     
         12 . The protective seat pad of  claim 8 , further comprising a region of low relief between the main body and the leg extensions, wherein the region of low relief facilitates articulation of the seat pad between the main body and the leg extensions. 
     
     
         13 . The protective seat pad of  claim 12 , further comprising a plurality of perforations located within the region of low relief between the main body and the leg extensions. 
     
     
         14 . The protective seat pad of  claim 1 , further comprising two leg extensions extending from the main body and along the underside of the leg defining a space between the two leg extensions, wherein each of the two leg extensions comprise a plurality of raised ribs oriented substantially parallel to the direction from which the leg extensions extend from the main body. 
     
     
         15 . The protective seat pad of  claim 14 , further comprising a plurality of perforations located between at least some of the raised ribs of the leg extensions. 
     
     
         16 . The protective seat pad of  claim 1 , further comprising a region of low relief between the main body and the leg extensions, wherein the region of low relief facilitates articulation of the seat pad between the main body and the leg extensions. 
     
     
         17 . The protective seat pad of  claim 16 , further comprising a plurality of perforations located within the region of low relief between the main body and the leg extensions. 
     
     
         18 . The protective seat pad of  claim 1 , wherein the main body has two independent padding zones, each padding zone corresponding to the area under one of the sitz bones of a rider, wherein each padding zone comprises two or more areas having different padding densities. 
     
     
         19 . The protective seat pad of  claim 1 , wherein the main body has two independent padding zones, each padding zone corresponding to the area under one of the sitz bones of a rider, wherein each padding zone comprises two or more areas having different padding thickness. 
     
     
         20 . The protective seat pad of  claim 1 , wherein the main body has two independent padding zones, each padding zone corresponding to the area under one of the sitz bones of a rider, wherein each padding zone comprises concentric areas, each area having a different padding firmness. 
     
     
         21 . The protective seat pad of  claim 18 , wherein each independent padding zone comprises concentric areas, each area having different padding densities.
