Abstract

Configurable saddle pad with ventilation, padding and slip protection, characterized in that the saddle pad comprises two side parts (1) tailored to the shape of the back, which are spaced along their upper curved long sides and connected with an air-permeable central strip (2).

Description

Usually in the recreational and tournament riding saddle covers made of multi-layer textile stitching materials are used, which consist of two side panels which are in the middle with a seam, which seizes both parts and sewn together a covering tape.

As additional upholstery often moss and cellular rubber pads, skins or gel pads are used.

Many riders use two or three different documents at the same time to achieve sufficient padding between saddle and horse.

It can come together a few centimeters of layer thickness. The layers can be displaced by the movement of the horse, with the result that the saddle does not rest optimally in its position. More rigging is needed. The horse sweats increasingly in the saddle area. The moisture can not escape and it creates a heat accumulation.

Conventional gel, moss and cellular rubber pads are usually not anatomically shaped or cut straight and adapt only under pressure of the back shape of the horse. Used over a saddlecloth, they can even push their center seam down onto the horse's spine and exert undesirable pressure.

In this way, the spinal relief and ventilation is impaired.

The protection specified in claim invention is based on the problem of creating a saddle pad that ensures optimal fit, padding, skid resistance, spinal column and ventilation of the horse back, and also can be configured and customized according to the needs of each horse.

These problems have been solved with the features listed in protection claim 1.

With the invention it is achieved that the spine of the horse is relieved, sufficient exchange of air takes place and that the saddle can be optimally adapted to the horse's back and non-slip if necessary by means of the saddle pad.

A saddle pad according to conventional appearance, material and manufacturing technology was divided in the middle. It thus consists of two halves and has no annoying beaded middle seam more.

The two halves were joined by means of a center-strip of elastic, air-permeable spacer fabric or other suitable material attached in a particularly flat manner. The connection of the parts was designed in shock or non-overlapping and implemented with a top and a bottom running, sewn on both parts alongside band.

Since now no middle seam in the spinal area exists and the spacer fabric strip has sufficient air permeability, creates an air duct over the spine which allows optimal back ventilation.

To prevent slippage of the pad and to create customization options can optionally on the right and left of the air-permeable median strip on the top of the saddle pad in the upper back, where the cushions of the saddle mainly rest or the largest weight load takes place, pads made of foam rubber or other adhesive Materials with or without insertion possibility for individual upholstery can be attached.

To create an additional temperature compensation and additional padding option, the saddle pad can optionally be equipped on the underside with lambskin, wool fleece, faux fur or other suitable material, with or without the possibility of inserting padding material. Here, the central strip, which preferably consists of elastic spacer fabric in the middle is also free or is not covered, so that the spine of the horse is relieved and a good exchange of air can take place.

The side parts of the saddle pad are only partially covered in the upper area by the optionally attached, above and / or below trimmings. The right and left lower areas of the side parts remain free, so that the rider is not unnecessarily "wide" sitting on the horse.

The rider can configure the saddle pad to fit the saddle and the horse, and customize it according to his needs and preferences.

The use of two or more documents is eliminated.

The saddle can be positioned anti-slip through the mirror-inverted adhesive pads that fit the saddle cushions and can be perfectly adjusted with individual padding.

The exposed, air-permeable center strip prevents heat accumulation.

The horse sweats less in the saddle area.

An embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to 1 to 8th explained. Show it:

1 two spaced-apart side parts of the saddle pad from the top ( 1 ), a median strip ( 2 ), four connection bands ( 3 ) and two adhesive pads for the saddle-facing side ( 4 )

2 a side view of the composite saddle pad without editions and trimmings

3 two spaced-apart side parts of the saddle pad from the underside ( 5 ), a median strip ( 2 ), four connection bands ( 3 ) and two trimmings for the horse-facing side ( 7 )

4 the flat connection of the side parts ( 1 ) with the air-permeable center strip ( 2 )

5 a perspective view of the saddle pad without editions and trimmings

6 a perspective view of the saddle pad with editions without trimmings

7 a perspective view of the saddle pad without pads with trimmings on the bottom

8th a perspective view of the saddle pad with pads on top and fur trimmings on the bottom

A saddle pad according to conventional appearance was divided in the middle.

It thus consists of two mutually spaced halves ( 1 ) with an air-permeable, a few centimeters wide strips ( 2 ) are connected.

The two mutually spaced halves can each on their tops ( 1 ) and / or subpages ( 5 ) in the upper back of the saddle position, leaving the median strip ( 2 ) with above or below attached trim made of faux fur, woolen fleece, lambskin ( 7 ) or adhesive surfaces ( 4 ) be provided.

Between the trims and the side panels of the saddle pad there are cavities that can be used as insertion pockets for additional padding.
