ABSTRACT:
A suspension seat post for a bicycle comprising a tubular housing having a cylindrical bore formed therein which has upper and lower bushings positioned therein with the upper and lower bushings having hexagonal bores extending therethrough. A hexagonal slider extends downwardly through the hexagonal bores in the upper and lower bushings. A bolt extends upwardly through the lower end of the lower bushing and is secured to the lower end of the hexagonal slider for movement therewith. As the hexagonal slider moves downwardly, a plurality of elastomeric members, positioned below the lower bushing and the lower end of the lower housing, are compressed. A lock ring is threadably secured to the upper end of the upper bushing and the tightening thereof brings the lock ring into engagement with the upper end of the tubular housing to thereby slightly turn the upper bushing to draw the planar surfaces of the hexagonal bore therein into engagement with the hexagonal slider, thereby reducing objectionable side-to-side seat movement.
