ABSTRACT:
A bicycle type seat having a shell, preferably resilient material or padding thereon, and a top cover on the resilient material or padding. The seat has a wide rear portion and a relatively narrow nose extending forward of the rear portion in a longitudinal direction. There is at least one reinforcing strut which extends longitudinally and is secured to the seat adjacent the nose and the rear portion.
There is provided a support which includes at least one tab and side portions. The side portions extend on the lower surface of the shell substantially corresponding to the shape of the rear portion of the seat. The tab extends from the side portions over the upper surface of the shell. A fitted portion of the top cover is located between the support and the shell whereby a clamping action is exerted thereon.
In manufacture, the support secures the rear portion of the top cover to the shell and permits the remainder of the top cover to be stretched forward and press-fitted around the rest of the shell. In addition, by suitable selection of the material of which the support is made, the degree of resilience of the finished seat can be predetermined.
