DE202014008309U1 - Saddle pad with multi-chamber system and special inserts for weight distribution - Google Patents

Abstract

Saddle pad with a chamber system and special inserts for weight distribution, the saddle pad being divided into two separate halves along its hollow, curved longitudinal axis and a few centimeters apart, so that in the middle above the spinal area of the mount there is a free strip-shaped area with a separate anatomically shaped area textile middle part is covered, characterized in that the two halves lie along their curved upper longitudinal sides at a distance from one another and are firmly connected by a textile middle part (2) which overlaps the halves on the right and left.

Description

The invention relates to a saddle pad for laying on the back of a horse.

Such a saddle pad is z. B. from the utility model DE 29899448 U1 known.

In recreational riding often treeless saddles and riding cushions are used without fixed saddle tree resting flat on the horse presses, to ensure little to no spinal column freedom and also distributed the rider's weight inadequately on horseback.

This has the consequence that when using such riding cushions and treeless saddles easily create pressure points on the sensitive horseback.

The hanger suspension, which is usually mounted in the area of the upper belt layer using webbing and metal rings, can also be painful to press on the horseback.

Thick, well padded saddle pads are needed to protect the horse's back.

The specified in the protection claim 1 invention is based on the problem to provide a cushioning saddle pad which continuously relieves the spine of the horse and also offers the possibility weight distributing deposits bring the coming of the above pressure, which is caused by the rider weight and the stirrup attachment, as possible to distribute large area of the saddle position of the horse. In addition, the saddle pad should prevent slipping of the saddle and ensure a good exchange of air between the saddle and the horse.

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

With the invention it is achieved that the spine of the horse is relieved and that the resulting pressure is distributed by the rider weight and the temple suspension on a relatively large area.

The anatomical shape of the saddle pad with incorporated chambers for inserting specially shaped and weight-distributing plastic inserts and padding material allow enough space for the spine of the horse to create and at the same time, coming from above, the pressure when riding with a treeless saddle or riding cushion arises to distribute over a large area. Slip-resistant material on the top and a centrally-woven spacer fabric strip ensure good grip on the saddle and sufficient air exchange.

An embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to 1 to 6 explained.

An anatomically tailored saddle pad according to conventional appearance was divided in the longitudinal axis 1 ,

It thus consists of two mutually spaced halves 1 which has a free central channel between its curved upper edges 2 form.

The two halves spaced apart 1 , are made by an anatomically shaped middle part 2 each covered a larger piece overlapping and firmly sewn on the outer edges.

This creates right and left between the upper middle part 3 and the lower, spaced halves 1 two chambers 9 which can be closed along the curved upper edges of the halves at right and left at a distance from each other 5 ,

The two halves spaced apart 1 , which are preferably made of a quilted textile fabric, were on their respective undersides with trimmings of fur 7 or a suitable textile material.

This results between the halves and the underlying trimmings 7 two more chambers 10 , each on one side, also along the curved upper edges 5 , With Velcro or zippers are designed lockable.

By filling the lower and upper chambers with cushioning material and specially adapted to the anatomy of a horse flexible plastic inserts, which are sewn, for example, in a sheath made of felt or Nadelflies 6 wins the free center channel described above 2 in height and keeps the spine of the horse free.

In particular, by the flexible plastic inserts 15 which are waisted in the middle to allow a slight twisting and bent down to prevent the horse's withers, the weight of the rider and the pressure of the stirrup attachment are distributed over a large area on horseback.

The back of the horse is more evenly loaded and the delicate spine 13 stay free. The risk of pressure marks is minimized.

An anti-slip surface of the middle section 2 ensures the necessary grip on the saddle and a built-in air-permeable strip of spacer fabric 6 over the spine area of the horse prevents a heat accumulation.

Claims (12)

Saddle pad with chamber system and special inserts for weight distribution, the saddle pad along its hollow curved longitudinal axis divided into two separate halves and moved a few inches apart, so that in the middle above the spine area of the mount a free strip-shaped area results which with a separate anatomically shaped textile middle part is covered, characterized in that the two halves along their curved upper longitudinal sides at a distance from each other and by a, the halves each right and left overlapping, textile middle part ( 2 ) are firmly connected.
