Abstract
The device includes a lower gripping member (5) and an upper gripping member (6). The lower gripping member has an incurved surface bearing against the incurved surface provided on a slider (15). The slider can be moved in the longitudinal direction along a slide way (16) provided on the saddle post head (4). The upper gripping member (6) is connected to the saddle post head by a gripping screw (17) passing through a hole (18; 19; 20) provided respectively in the saddle post head, the slide way (15), and the lower gripping member (5). The hole (18) in the saddle post head (4) is a first longitudinal slot permitting the continuous adjustment of the longitudinal position of the slider, and the hole (19) in the slider is a second slot aligned with the first slot (18) and permitting the inclination of the gripping screw.
