Seat post clamp for bicycle exerciser

Abstract

A clamp has an inner end wall and a pair of opposing arms which form a U-shaped structure thereby providing a U-shaped opening in the clamp. This U-shaped structure matingly engages one end wall and the side walls of a rectangular sleeve member which is fixedly attached to the frame of a bicycle exerciser. A rectangular seat post is telescopically fitted within the sleeve member for vertical slidable adjustment relative thereto. Fixedly attached to and protruding from a recessed portion of the inner end wall of the clamp into the U-shaped opening is a pin member. Mating apertures are formed in the the end wall of the sleeve member and an end wall of the seat post through which the pin member fits. The clamp is held in position in engagement with the sleeve member by means of a spring connected between the ends of the arms thereof and the frame of the bicycle exerciser. A series of similar spaced apertures are formed along the longitudinal extent of the end wall of the seat post. The clamp can be moved outwardly against the spring tension to withdraw the pin member from the apertures and the height of the seat post adjusted as desired, the pin member then being fitted into a selected one of the longtidunally spaced apertures of the seat post to retain the post at the desired height.
