Abstract

Knot halter (1) for hoofed animals, comprising at least one strap or rope (2), which is designed as a three-dimensional wickerwork over a number of knot points (4), in particular designed as loops, the inner shape of which corresponds to the shape of a hoofed animal head, each of which Node (4) or a number of nodes (4) is designed such that it is displaceable and thus its position can be freely selected and an individual adaptation to the hoofed animal head can thereby be achieved.

Description

The invention relates to a knot halter for ungulates, comprising at least one belt or knit, which is formed over a number of running in particular as loops nodes as a three-dimensional wicker, the inner shape corresponds in the applied state of the shape of a hoofed head.

Halters, especially knot halters, not only serve to hold the ungulates, especially horses, at a given stand, but also to guide them. In particular, the pressure on pressure points in the physiognomy of a horse with nerve endings may sensitize the animal to following an order given by the slightest touch.

So far, however, only node halters for stimulating these pressure points are known, which are offered in a unit size and take no account of different sized animals and their heads also different sizes. As a result, the pressure points can not be addressed or at least not exactly; Awareness of the animal is not achieved, instead of the slight impetus to leadership much greater forces must be spent, the success is doubtful and at best only moderately fails.

The DE 00 0020 212 826 U1 describes z. B. a Kontrollknotenhalfter, especially for horses, hand knotted and hand spliced, consisting of 3 ropes of natural or synthetic fiber with closure knots, head piece, jaw knots, nose knots, nose piece, throat knot, guide ring, pull ring and closure loop.

In the DE 20 2012 005 149 U1 For example, there is disclosed a bitless guide and halter with integrated neck strap for horses such that the halter consists of two parts connectable to each other by three quick release fasteners, one part being a neck ring suitable for easy guiding of the horse on a leash while the other is made Nosepiece, cheekpieces and throat piece makes this neckring complete horsehunter.

Furthermore, halters, including node halters, in previous versions exclusively, as in the DE 00 0020 212 826 mentioned, made of natural rope material, especially hemp or sisal, or more recently made of synthetic fiber, especially nylon.

On the one hand, these materials are not skin-friendly for the animals, but can, especially in the case of synthetic fibers, be responsible for slight abrasions or even burns on the uppermost skin layer, the so-called leather layer. On the other hand, this material is not permanently resistant to abrasion, especially at the heavily loaded areas where other ropes or straps attack.

The invention is therefore based on the object to provide a node halter of the type mentioned, which is particularly durable and durable and ensures that the nerve endings of the animal are addressed by the nodes of the node halter.

This object is achieved by each node or a number of nodes is designed such that it is displaceable and thereby its position is freely selectable, and thereby an individual adaptation to the hoof head is achievable.

Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

The invention is based on the consideration that for other animals such as dogs different sized collars or harnesses are offered, since there is a whole range of different sizes in dogs, from Chihuahua to Great Dane. In horses, large differences in size are also known, and these differences in the manufacture, attachment and use of knot halters has so far been disregarded, which may be due to the effect of the impulse, so the slight pressure on the nerve endings formed pressure points on the horse's head and any other ungulate underestimated and / or neglected or simply is not known.

Since a number of the loops formed by loops or straps or rings or special rings is subject to particular tensile loads, which can provide for faster wear on the attachment or suspension points or even tearing of the loop forming belt or rope, they exhibit expediently a gain.

So that the knot halter or parts of the same forming belt or knit is also outside the loops in particularly stressed areas particularly resistant to attack, these areas advantageously have a gain.

In order to make the reinforcement durable and durable, but not or not very much to limit the flexibility and flexibility of the knot halter in the area of reinforcement, the reinforcement comprises advantageously a wrap or is formed from such.

In order to perform particularly stressed areas beyond a wrapping out permanently resilient, a further reinforcement is advantageously incorporated in the wrapping.

In order to be able to attach, for example, a lead rope or a denture to the node halter, a form-fitting ring or a snap hook or an additional belt is advantageously accommodated in a number of the loops.

On the one hand to achieve a high resilience and durability, on the other hand, but also a high flexibility and flexibility even in adverse conditions such as wet and / or cold and thereby ensure a particularly good adaptation to the hoof head, the belt or knit leather or a predominantly made of leather-containing material and has a diameter of 4-6 mm, in a particularly suitable embodiment, a diameter of 5 mm.

The advantages achieved by the invention are, in particular, that the nodes of the node halter rest precisely on the pressure points in the case of a design adapted to the hoof head, thereby enabling fine impulses to be transmitted to the animal for special sensitization. Furthermore, the choice of material makes the knot halter more stable and durable than conventional designs.

An embodiment of the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to a drawing. Show:

1 a node halter in perspective with optional extensions.

Identical parts are provided with the same reference numerals in all figures.

The node holster 1 consists of at least one strap or rope 2 that has a number of nodes 4 is shaped and connected at predetermined positions, that it replicates the shape of a hoofed head.

Due to the variable position of the nodes 4 Anyway in the straps or knit 2 can be incorporated, the node holster 1 individually adapted to the size of the head of the node halter 1 should be spanned.

These are specific sections of the node holster 1 assigned to given anatomical conditions on Huftierkopf, for example, that between at least two nodes 4 arranged headpiece 6 or the side of the ungulate head arranged, also between at least two nodes 4 provided cheek piece 8th ,

The nodes 4 besides the connection function have the further function that they rest exactly on pressure points on the ungulate head not shown here. When pulling on the node holster 1 pressure on these pressure points can be built up and the hoofed animal, for example a horse, is made aware of this pressure on the instruction given with it.

Subareas of the node holster 1 If they are subject to special stresses in use, they may be especially reinforced. For this purpose, these portions may be wrapped with a suitable material, such as a leather strap. This wrapping 12 is advantageously close to the belt / knit 1 at.

In a particularly resistant design can be in the wrapping 12 be inserted a further reinforcement, for example, another belt, a steel wire or, depending on the requirement, flexible or rigid plastic rod.

If at one of the hubs 4 a guide rope or a leash or a dentition is to be arranged, it may be expedient to facilitate this attachment in that, for example, a dimensionally stable guide loop 14 or a snap hook in the provided for attachment loop of the node 4 is included. The lead rope loop 14 may include a wrap, wherein in the wrap optionally a ring may be incorporated). It includes a leather strap and forms by a specially designed knot a loop in which you can hook the lead rope.
