Multitool Transforming Seat & Post

Last crawled date: 1 year, 11 months ago

A transformable bike seat with integrated bike tools, air pump and suspension system. It is transformable for different bike trail. A swing arm system can charge the batteries and energize the LED lamps integrated into the nose.

....Step file still finalized. Grabcad system bogs down, so step file uploading is still pending--especially so, this file is too large.

For further info, here are the preliminary design pics of the bike saddle:

The integrated tools featured in this seat and post design include the following:
1. Air pump
2. 15mm box head wrench - 2 pcs.
3. Tire lever with spoke hook - 2 pcs - at the opposite end of the box wrench
4. Spoke wrench - (integrated in every box wrench)
5. Flashlight - 2 pcs. - detachable at the two saddle noses
6. Tool bit wrench - 2 pcs.
7. 2.5 mm allen wrench - 2 pcs.
8. bit extension

The entire assembly features a safe-keeping case into which two red flashing-arrow rear signals are attached. The left arrow turns on or keep flashing while the right arrow is off when the accelerometer and gyroscope in the circuits sensed a braking action with a quick swerve to the left, and vice versa. The rotatable head lights are controlled to maintain its illumination level when the gyroscope sensed sudden pitch encountered by the bike: it will activate a piezoelectric lever to pull up or down the LED casing.

The seat cannot easily be stolen as it features a locking mechanism built into its suspension system, and much so when the lockable enclosing cover is attached. The suspension system can be utilized as air pump when you encounter tire pressure problems down the isolated road without you reaching to your backpack for conventional air pump. Instead, the biker reached out for the coiled, heavily steel-braided cable lock with air channel at the center and hooked the other end to the tire nipple. This cable lock can be secured and locked by the enclosing lockable case with the ends firmly attached to the air pump nipple and saddle rail.

In suspension mode, the air pump act as spring dampener with air as the regulating fluid. Although the travel is limited to 10 mm stroke, this is ample enough to cushion the rider further together with full-suspension system in modern bikes. Surely, this feature will be appreciated by bikers with lockable rear suspension system.
