Abstract

Saddle (1), characterized in that the at least one saddle pad (10) and the at least one saddle pad (11) each consist of at least two elastic pads which run longitudinally to the side of the vertebral canals (100; 110) and are adapted to the back of the riding animal ( 1100) and which converge in the front saddle area as a stabilizing curve (roll).

Description

technical field

The present invention relates to a saddle for riding animals, comprising at least one saddle pad and at least one saddle pad with a center piece (felt tree). This saddle is a further development or addition to the patent DE 10 2017 104 790 A1 2018.09.13.

State of the art

Saddles, saddle pads and saddle pads in a wide variety of embodiments have always been known from the prior art. These saddles have a closed layer of leather or, in the case of leather saddles, a closed tree made of wood, plastic or leather. The disadvantage here is that saddles of this type are not able to provide sufficient pressure distribution and relief for the mount's back in the area of the spinous processes of the spine, while at the same time providing maximum freedom of movement. In addition, the saddles and pads currently on the market have attachments for stirrups that go over the spine of the mount. These attachments put a great deal of stress on the spinous processes and the withers of the mount and result in partial pressure. The patent DE 10 2017 104 790 A1 2018.09.13 solves the above problems to the extent that the mount experiences sufficient relief in the area of the spinous processes of the spine, so that the weight of the rider acting on the saddle is distributed to the areas of the mount's back adjacent to the spinous processes of the spine, while at the same time relieving the " Rib Knee" of the mount. In addition, there are currently riding pads and felt saddles on the market which have a stirrup suspension which runs over the withers of the mount and thereby exerts extreme partial pressure on the withers of the mount.

Presentation of the invention

By developing a felt saddle tree, an even larger and more extensive distribution of pressure is achieved. The felt tree consists of at least 2 parts, but can be designed from very flexible to flexible, depending on the rider's wishes. For this purpose, a wide variety of felt layers are specially cut and assembled to form a saddle tree. The task of this saddle tree is to adapt to the back of the mount and to give the rider an even more stretched seat and even more support by ending in a stabilizing curve in the front area (roll). In addition, it is possible to attach stable stirrup attachments to the side (right and left of the felt tree), which do not go over the spine of the mount and thus enable optimal and extensive pressure distribution.

According to the invention, the above object is achieved according to the preamble of claim 1 in conjunction with the characterizing features. Advantageous configurations and developments of the saddle according to the invention are specified in the dependent subclaims.

According to the invention, a saddle of the type mentioned is characterized in that the at least one saddle pad made of felt or similar material (foam, etc.) is below the saddle tree and, in addition, the at least one saddle pad made of felt or similar material (foam, etc.) is above the saddle tree exhibit. In the area of the spinous processes, the pads are open both above (on the saddle tree) and below (below the saddle tree). If more than one saddle pad or saddle pad (felt layers) is used, the different layers are padded from small to large to avoid edges.

In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the at least one saddle pad and the at least one saddle pad are each formed from at least two plate-like and elastic pads that run longitudinally to the side of the vertebral canals and are tailored accordingly for the rider (the pad is cut back in the thigh area). and end in a stabilizing curve (roll) at the front. This gives the rider an even safer and more stable seat.

A particularly advantageous middle layer (the felt tree) is provided between the two elastic supports. The middle layer consists of two parts that are sewn together in the middle with a webbing. This middle layer can consist of up to 6 layers of felt, which are sewn into a felt tree and adapted to the horse's back curve.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the elastic pads and the middle layer are made of felt or similar materials, which are tailored accordingly for the rider (the pad is cut back in the thigh area) and end in a stabilizing curve (rolls).

The saddle according to the invention, consisting of saddle pad and saddle pad and the preferred middle layer (felt tree preferably made of two layers) is also achieved in that an adaptable yet stable Kon construction is achieved, which can withstand significantly more stress and offers a more extensive distribution of pressure.

The construction of the upper and lower vertebral canal is preferably designed in such a way that the spinous processes and the spine of the mount remain free and are thus relieved.

The saddle pad and the saddle pad are preferably made of felt. Consisting of various tailored layers of felt, they are extremely adaptable to the physique of both the mount and the rider. The felt layers are firmly connected to the middle layer (the felt tree) by means of glue or sewing. The differently cut felt layers are padded from the smallest felt layer to the largest felt layer on both the saddle pad and the saddle pad in order to avoid edges and pressure points.

The middle layer (the felt tree) of the saddle construction is provided with a V-shaped suspension attached to the right and left of the horse's spine - intended for stirrups. The suspension does not go over the spine of the mount. This suspension consists of either webbing, leather or similar materials and has a stable ring or similar suspension in the middle. The more layers are processed in the middle layer, the more stable the saddle becomes.

implementation of the invention

How out 1 As can be seen, the at least one saddle pad (10) and additionally the at least one saddle pad (11) each have a vertebral canal (100; 110) running along the spinous processes of the spine of the riding animal. The shell of the saddle pad (10) and the saddle pad (11) are preferably made of a 2 to 5 mm thick wool felt. This cover is preferably made of four individual parts that are sewn together in a stable manner. The middle layer (felt tree) (12) preferably consists of at least two layers joined together to form a continuous piece of felt. However, the middle layer (12) can also consist of two or more layers of felt, which are joined together to form a single piece of felt, the felt tree. Underneath, preferably two pieces of felt (the pads 100a, 100b) forming the saddle pad (10) are fastened on the right and left. A spinal canal (100) remains free in the middle. The spinal canal (100) is wide at the front at the withers (approx. 8 to 16 cm) and at the loin area (approx. 2 to 8 cm). At least two specially tailored pieces of felt (the overlays 110a, 110b) are attached above the middle layer. In the lumbar region of the saddle pad (rear) (10) and in the lumbar region of the saddle pad (rear) (11), a vertebral canal (100; 110) of approx. 2 cm remains free, which runs straight through. The layers are sewn or glued with a special adhesive that allows the layers to felt together.

So that the saddle (1) does not rub or press on the withers, the middle layer (the felt tree) (12) and the upper support (110a; 110b) advantageously have a semicircular curvature (1100) rising from the front and back, which is shaped like a of the mount's back is crafted.

The cut back (the waist) (1101) at the lower end of the upper supports (110a; 110b) stretches the rider's seat and thus allows maximum freedom of movement for the rider's pelvis. In the case of the saddle support (11), the lower felt layer is also cut back, and a bulge, the so-called roll, is created from the tapering front ends.

So that there is no pressure on the spinous processes of the spine, the parts 100a and 110a, 100b and 110b are arranged and fastened on or under (12) in such a way that a large and advantageous air cushion is created above the spinous processes (100,110). It thus enables the back of the mount to lift the back muscles without counter-pressure, which is currently only possible with the patent DE 10 2017 104 790 A1 2018.09.13 is implemented and has been significantly improved by the present construction. This incorporation of the felt tree avoids or significantly reduces pressure peaks caused by the rider's ischial tuberosity and distributes the rider's weight even more flatly.

The saddle is preferably offered with a length of approx. 35 to 45 cm (standard version). However, the saddle surface can be individually extended.

The felt tree (12) is preferably available with a V-belt (13) made of webbing and belt straps (15) in the materials webbing, Biothane and leather. The forward-cut V-girth (13) avoids straining the trapezius muscle of the mount. Furthermore, the shoulder area of the mount is not affected by the V-harness and the shoulder can move without problems. In addition, the course of the belt straps can be individually adapted to the shape of the torso of the mount.

The design of the saddle according to the invention is not limited to the preferred embodiments specified above. Rather, a large number of design variations are conceivable which make use of the solution shown even with a fundamentally different design. The saddle according to the invention can, among other things, optionally be equipped with or without belt straps or be designed with other materials (lambskin padding, etc.).
