A seating apparatus may include a seating unit and a pair of hollow supporting structure. In one embodiment, the hollow supporting structure is bowl-shaped springs which can be disposed underneath a seating unit to receive and support the buttocks of the user. In another embodiment, the seating unit can include a regular seat, a stool, a bicycle seat, and even a horse saddle. More specifically, the buttocks of the user can be received in a concave surface of each bowl-shaped spring so a complete support over a large area is provided to the user's buttocks and pubic bone to eliminate the pressure therefrom. Furthermore, the springs can also be used as cushions to absorb impact on the user's lower body portion. In another aspect, the hollow supporting structure is a pair of rings, and in a further aspect, the hollow supporting structure is a pair of bowl-shaped units.

A bicycle saddle includes a saddle shell with a saddle frame arranged on the lower side thereof. A first saddle cushion is arranged on the upper side of the saddle shell. An intermediate shell is arranged on an upper side of the saddle cushion. On the upper side of the latter, a second cushion element is arranged. The intermediate shell includes at least one recess for improving comfort in particular in the case of a perched sitting position.

A seat for a bicycle comprising: a seating surface having a longitudinal length, a longitudinally forward portion, a longitudinally rearward portion, and a lateral width between a first lateral end and a second lateral end laterally opposed to the first lateral end; an underside surface below the seating surface; an opening extending through the seating surface and the underside surface; where the opening has an opening length between a longitudinally forward periphery and a longitudinally rearward periphery and an opening width between a first lateral periphery and a second lateral periphery laterally opposed to the first lateral periphery; where the seating surface includes a bridge portion longitudinally located between the opening and the rearward portion of the seating surface; and where the opening has a lateral width greater than its longitudinal length.

The present invention relates to a male component or punch for a mould unit for producing a vehicle saddle.

A cushion incorporating a bio-gel structure includes a foam material layer and a surface layer set on and covering a surface of the foam material layer. A plurality of spaced through holes is formed in the foam material layer. A bio-gel layer is formed on an undersurface of the foam material layer. A plurality of bio-gel blocks are respectively filled in the through holes of the foam material layer. Each of the bio-gel blocks has a top end in contact with an underside of the surface layer and a bottom end integrally connected with the bio-gel layer. The bio-gel layer provides a rider with comfortable riding experience and also achieves an antibacterial effect.

According to one embodiment, a bicycle seat includes a frame having a front end section, a medial section, and a rear end section. The front end section extends forward from the medial section, and the rear end section extends aft from the medial section. The bicycle seat also includes a first vent positioned in a first side portion of the rear end section, and a second vent positioned in a second side portion of the rear end section. The first vent defines a first passageway that extends through the first side portion of the rear end section. The second vent defines a second passageway that extends through the second side portion of the rear end section.

An improved conveyance seat is configured by an overlapping part of a skin material being hung in a recessed portion formed at a boundary position between a support portion and an intersecting portion of the cushion material when the cushion material divided into pieces is covered by the skin material having the overlapping part configured by two skin material fragments overlapping each other. The skin material fragments inserted into the recessed portion have first and second parts satisfying the following conditions: (1) The first parts are welded to contact each other on a back side of the recessed portion behind an opening of the recessed portion and parts of the first parts are crushed, (2) The second parts adjacent to the first parts and closer to the opening of the recessed portion than the first parts are separated from each other.
