ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly for connecting a bicycle seat to a bicycle seat post. The assembly includes a housing defining a hollow opening downwardly to allow the upper end of the bicycle seat post to be passed upwardly into the hollow; a generally horizontal bore in the housing opening in the opposite side faces of the housing and sized to pass a fastener to facilitate fastening of the connector member to the frame of the bicycle seat; a circumferential array of serrations on each of the opposite side faces of the housing concentric with the bore for coaction with circumferentially arrayed serrations on the bicycle seat frame to allow adjustment of the angular position of the seat relative to the seat post upon loosening of the fastener; a vertical clamping surface defined in the housing in confronting relation to the hollow; and a clamping jaw slidably mounted in the hollow of the housing and having a vertical clamping surface coacting with the housing clamping surface to clamp the bicycle post therebetween. The clamping jaw is moved slidably in the hollow of the housing by a set screw passing through the rear wall of the housing and engaging the rear face of the clamping jaw. This arrangement allows the connector assembly to accommodate a wide variety of sizes of bicycle seat posts.
