Claims (11)

1. A foam saddle, comprising:

a first casing, comprising a foam skin and a plastic film, the foam skin having an outer surface and an inner surface opposite to the outer surface, the plastic film bound to the outer surface of the foam skin, wherein the plastic film has a thickness of 0.01 mm to 0.5 mm; and

a hard second casing, formed by plastic injection, comprising a plurality of junctions for the attachment to a frame of a bike, wherein a whole top surface and a rim of the second casing directly contact with the inner surface of the foam skin or contact with the inner surface of the foam skin through an adhesive; the junctions extending downwardly from a bottom surface of the second casing;

wherein each of the junctions has two downwardly extending portions and a concave portion between the downwardly extending portions; each of the downwardly extending portions contains a junction hole extending vertically through the downwardly extending portion to the outside of the bottom surface of the second casing.

2. The foam saddle of claim 1 , wherein the concave portion of each of the junctions has a cambered bottom surface.

3. A foam saddle, comprising:

a first casing, comprising a foam skin and a plastic film, the foam skin having an outer surface and an inner surface opposite to the outer surface, the plastic film bound to the outer surface of the foam skin, wherein the plastic film has a thickness of 0.01 mm to 0.5 mm; and

a hard second casing, formed by plastic injection, comprising a plurality of junctions for the attachment to a frame of a bike, wherein a whole top surface and a rim of the second casing directly contact with the inner surface of the foam skin or contact with the inner surface of the foam skin through an adhesive; the junctions extending downwardly from a bottom surface of the second casing;

wherein the second casing comprises a plurality of ribs which extend downwardly from the bottom surface of the second casing and connect with the junctions.

4. The foam saddle of claim 3 , wherein the ribs comprise a plurality of first ribs and a plurality of second ribs, each of the first ribs has an end connecting with one of the junctions, and the second ribs connecting with and surrounding the junctions.

5. The foam saddle of claim 3 , wherein a thickness of each one of the ribs is smaller than the junctions.
