Description

"Fit-Saddle" and "Method of Making an Absolutely Fit Saddle "The purpose of the invention should be the so far so complicated Bu of a saddle to make it easier to reduce the weight of it, lower the cost and above to ensure that the saddle fits perfectly for the horse and the rider guarantee @.

animals.

Riding saddles are used in a wide variety of designs entire shape and the seat are mainly from the saddle frame = @ attelbaum, dos made of wood, steel, plastic, etc. can be determined. Becomes a better fit the saddle tree is then covered with appropriate material (usually leather) and padded. Due to the solid contours and shapes of the saddle tree, however, it is easy to that different riders have one or the other sitting problem because of the saddle not body-sized.

This disadvantage is offset by the rarely used seat cushion, because it does not get a saddle tree incorporated. and thus fully on the horse's body rests. The rider's weight cannot be derived in this way and it is created by it mostly the dreaded saddle pressure (especially withers).

Recently there are also pure synthetic saddles that have the shape of the usual Have sports saddles, but are equipped without a saddle tree. They are made of polyurethane produced and have the disadvantage that the material is not cheap for sitting (too much adhesion) and it is not necessarily body-friendly (heat dissipation) shows. Because of dec: The saddle can only bend in certain horses can be used and does not fit equally well everywhere.

It is the object of the invention to provide a light, well-fitting and To create a comfortable, but at the same time inexpensive saddle and a process to show, in which one can use the conventional saddle trees, upholstery, etc. can be omitted, but still neoh the, for horse and rider, seat on the saddle.

The basic structure of such a fitted saddle consists of a multilayer Material (1) (e.g. leather, plastic films, composite materials, textiles, etc.), which initially lies loosely on top of each other and only sewn together in certain places, - is welded or glued, etc. (Seams = (2)) Before doing the specially finally closes the cut material layers, one brings in the necessary Cavities (3) an air envelope (4) made of elastic material. A necessary one Air valve (5) brings out again at a non-disruptive point. Then you lay dep fitted saddle on the horse and Patent application and auxiliary utility model application "Fit saddle" pumps so much air into the air envelope in a conventional manner that just now the parts of the horse's back that are particularly sensitive are free. Should now the rider notice after sitting on that his weight the fit saddle @n If you press the critical points back on the horse, he simply pumps the saddle back up. This way he can get just the right amount for the Horseback (6) (the respective one) and adjust for yourself. Through the air upholstery the result is a wonderfully soft sitting and with this principle, aLs material can calmly Leather are used, so that the heat dissipation from the body of the rider is favorable is. The same inflation to protect the horse's back (6) can of course be done accordingly Cavities are made towards the rider, so that there the seat t7) avagepolstert will. This also works well with the knee position (8) etc. instead of individual air envelopes Whole envelope structures can also be used, so that not as many air valves are then used must be used.

This manufacturing process can be modified in a simple way. Instead of the air, which always needs to be sealed off, nan uses air that hardens or foams Plastic. How hard the respective upholstery should be, can vary by quantity and Easily control the degree of hardness of the individual plastics. It is also possible with the different cavities, depending on the requirement, to inject different plastics. If one now also leaves different channels (9) between the left and right Half of the saddle, so San even gets after injecting the plastic another "saddle tree in saddle", or with a corresponding design of the cavities also an additional seat for the rider, which is then over the horse's back lies.

The time differences between the injections can also be used here of the plastic and the different degrees of hardness play a crucial role to play. E.g. the saddle tree can go down from a much harder list, rial and you can cure it before you attach the other cushions permit. Once this has happened, a softer material should be used for the seat for the rider on top of it, where you can even sit on it while it is frothing can leave. In this way, the seat is absolutely ideal when it is filled with foam Have measure for the rider.

With an appropriate structure of the multilayer material, duch The air cover is completely eliminated and the plastic is injected directly.

Stirrup leathers, saddlebags and individual elements can also be used (10), such as hooks, eyes, etc., or for greater rigidity or the like. In the cavities with a.

are placed so that they are then firmly connected to the plastic.

Claims (4)

"Fit saddle" and "Method of making an absolutely fitting Sattela " Protection claims 1) Fitted saddle, characterized by loose cut, Mebrichtiges material (which later gives the shape of the saddle) (1), which at certain Places for corresponding purposes has seams (2) and so between them Seams can form cavities (3). 2) fitted saddle according to claim 1, characterized in that in the Cavities and air envelopes (4) can be incorporated, and the cavities and also the air envelopes can be connected to each other. 3) A method for producing a fitted saddle according to claims 1 and 2, characterized in that they harden cavities or air envelopes or foaming plastic is injected or air is pumped into the air envelopes. 4) method for producing a fitted saddle according to claim 3, characterized in that the saddle during the injection of the plastic or pumping in the air on the horse or the rider or both at the same time can be adjusted and so the ideal shape is found.
