Description

L'invention concerne un système de harnachement sans embouchure comportant une pièce de tête posée sur la nuque du cheval, une muserolle et une sous-barbe ou gourmette, la muserolle et la sous-barbe coopérant pour exercer une pression sur le nez du cheval.The invention relates to a harness system without mouthpiece comprising a head piece placed on the neck of the horse, a noseband and a sub-beard or curb chain, the noseband and the sub-beard cooperating to exert pressure on the horse's nose.

On connaît des systèmes d'harnachement sans embouchure permettant de tenir, de travailler ou de monter un cheval.There are known harness systems without a mouthpiece for holding, working or riding a horse.

Ces systèmes, soit n'assurent pas une maîtrise suffisante, soit sont trop contraignants.These systems either do not provide sufficient control or are too restrictive.

Ainsi, parmi les premiers, il faut citer le licol et le caveçon.So, among the first, we must mention the halter and the caveçon.

Le licol est un harnais souple dans lequel la tête du cheval est engagée sans contrainte et qui permet de tenir le cheval à condition que celui-ci soit doux. Dans le cas contraire, seule la force musculaire du palefrenier peut éviter que le cheval ne s'échappe.The halter is a flexible harness in which the head of the horse is engaged without constraint and which allows to hold the horse provided that it is soft. Otherwise, only the muscular strength of the groom can prevent the horse from escaping.

Le caveçon comporte une muserolle rigide serrée sur le nez du cheval et sert au travail à la longe à main droite aussi bien qu'à main gauche. Il est difficile à ajuster et manque de fixité dans le cas de chevaux qui lèvent la tête. Ce dispositif est souvent inefficace avec des chevaux difficiles ou trop dur avec des chevaux délicats.The cavesson has a rigid noseband tightened on the horse's nose and is used for working with the loin on the right hand as well as on the left hand. It is difficult to adjust and lack of fixity in the case of horses that raise their heads. This device is often ineffective with difficult horses or too hard with delicate horses.

Le Akamor présente comme le caveçon une muserolle rigide aux extrémités de laquelle est fixé l'axe de rotation d'un levier coudé dont le bras le plus court porte la gourmette. L'extrémité des bras les plus longs reçoit les rênes. Une traction sur les rênes démultiplie l'effort de coincement exercé sur le nez du cheval entre la muserolle et la gourmette. C'est un moyen coercitif très dur demandant une grande expérience au cavalier et difficilement utilisable sur n'importe quel cheval.The Akamor, like the cavesson, has a rigid noseband at the ends of which is fixed the axis of rotation of a bent lever whose shortest arm carries the curb. The ends of the longer arms receive the reins. A pull on the reins multiplies the wedging effort exerted on the horse's nose between the noseband and the curb chain. It is a very hard coercive means requiring great experience for the rider and difficult to use on any horse.

Les deux derniers dispositifs décrits sont des harnais coûteux et relativement lourds.The last two devices described are expensive and relatively heavy harnesses.

L'invention vise à la réalisation d'un harnais sans embouchure, simple, facile à ajuster et pouvant convenir aussi bien à des chevaux difficiles que fragiles. Il peut être, en outre, utilisé en licol tout en permettant un contrôle parfait du cheval.The invention aims to achieve a harness without a mouthpiece, simple, easy to adjust and suitable for both difficult and fragile horses. It can also be used as a halter while allowing perfect control of the horse.

Le système de harnachement, selon l'invention, est remarquable en ce que la pièce de tête comporte un lien, dont les extrémités portent des anneaux, passant dans la gorge d'une poulie et des taquets de butée limitant le déplacement des poulies vers les anneaux et vers la tête, une muserolle souple reliant les anneaux, une sous-barbe accrochée à des mousquetons fixés aux poulies.The harness system according to the invention is remarkable in that the head piece comprises a link, the ends of which carry rings, passing through the groove of a pulley and stop cleats limiting the movement of the pulleys towards the rings and towards the head, a flexible noseband connecting the rings, an under-beard attached to carabiners attached to the pulleys.

Les explications et figures données ci-après à titre d' exemple permettront de comprendre comment l'invention peut être réalisée.

  • La figure 1 représente une forme de réalisation du système d'harnachement monté sur un cheval.
  • La figure 2 est une vue en perspective du système d'harnachement de la figure 1. La figure 3 est un exemple de réalisation d'un licol. La figure 4 représente un exemple de réalisation d'un harnais sans embouchure selon l'invention.
The explanations and figures given below by way of example will make it possible to understand how the invention can be implemented.
  • Figure 1 shows an embodiment of the harness system mounted on a horse.
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view of the harness system of Figure 1. Figure 3 is an embodiment of a halter. Figure 4 shows an embodiment of a harness without mouthpiece according to the invention.

Le système montré sur les figures 1 et 2 comporte au moins une pièce de tête 1 comportant un fourreau 2 posé sur la nuque du cheval, dans lequel coulisse un lien 3 dont chaque extrémité, passant dans la gorge d'une poulie 4, 5, porte des taquets de butée 6, 7 qui limitent le déplacement des poulies vers les extrémités portant les anneaux 8, 9.The system shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 comprises at least one head piece 1 comprising a sheath 2 placed on the neck of the horse, in which slides a link 3, each end of which passes through the groove of a pulley 4, 5, carries stop stops 6, 7 which limit the movement of the pulleys towards the ends carrying the rings 8, 9.

Les chapes des poulies 4, 5 maintiennent des mousquetons à tourillon 10, 11.The yokes of the pulleys 4, 5 hold the snap hooks 10, 11.

Les anneaux 8, 9 sont reliés par une pièce souple 12, par exemple en cuir, formant muserolle et qui s'applique sur le nez du cheval.The rings 8, 9 are connected by a flexible piece 12, for example of leather, forming a noseband and which is applied to the nose of the horse.

Les mousquetons 10, 11 sont reliés par une pièce souple 13, sous-barbe ou gourmette, qui vient se placer sous la bouche du cheval. La muserolle et la sous-barbe sont réglables en longueur pour pouvoir s'adapter à la morphologie du cheval harnaché.The carabiners 10, 11 are connected by a flexible piece 13, under-beard or curb chain, which is placed under the mouth of the horse. The noseband and under-beard are adjustable in length to be able to adapt to the morphology of the harnessed horse.

Les éléments ci-dessus énumérés constituent un harnachement du genre licol. La longe est accrochée au point central de la sous-barbe. Lorsqu'on tire sur la longe, le lien 3, par l'intermédiaire des poulies 4 et 5, subit une tension qui se répercute sur la muserolle 12 et sur le fourreau 2. La tête se trouve donc maintenue entre le fourreau agissant en tant que têtière et l'anneau souple formé par la muserolle et la sous-barbe.The items listed above constitute a halter-style harness. The loin is attached to the central point of the under-beard. When pulling on the lanyard, the link 3, via the pulleys 4 and 5, undergoes a tension which is reflected on the noseband 12 and on the sheath 2. The head is therefore held between the sheath acting as that headrest and the flexible ring formed by the noseband and the under-beard.

Le licol ci-dessus décrit est transformable en harnais sans embouchure par l'adjonction de deux liens 14, 15 reliant les anneaux 8, 9 portant la muserolle aux deux mousquetons 10, 11. Les rênes 16 sont passées sur le corps des mousquetons ou sont accrochées à ceux-ci par l'intermédiaire d'anneaux.The halter described above can be transformed into a harness without mouthpiece by the addition of two links 14, 15 connecting the rings 8, 9 carrying the noseband to the two snap hooks 10, 11. The reins 16 are passed over the body of the snap hooks or are attached to them by means of 'rings.

Lorsque le cavalier n'exerce aucune action sur les rênes, les poulies sont en butée sur les taquets 6, 7 et le lien 3 faiblement tendu. Lors d'une traction sur les rênes, les poulies 4, 5 quittent leur appui sur les taquets et se déplacent vers la tête en tirant sur les parties de lien 3 passant de chaque côté de la tête en leur faisant prendre une forme d'angle obtus.La distance séparant le fourreau 2 placé sur la nuque et l'anneau formé par l'ensemble muserolle 12 sous-barbe 13 et lien 14, diminue et a pour effet d'enfoncer le nez dans cet anneau, et par conséquent, de resserrer la pression.When the rider exerts no action on the reins, the pulleys are in abutment on the cleats 6, 7 and the link 3 slightly stretched. When pulling on the reins, the pulleys 4, 5 leave their support on the cleats and move towards the head by pulling on the link parts 3 passing on each side of the head by making them take a form of angle The distance separating the sheath 2 placed on the nape of the neck and the ring formed by the noseband 12 sub-beard 13 and link 14, decreases and has the effect of driving the nose into this ring, and consequently tighten the pressure.

Le système d'harnachement sans embouchure précédemment décrit peut éventuellement être complété par un frontal 19 fixé sur le fourreau 2 de la pièce de tête et par une sous-gorge 17 également fixée au fourreau 2.The harness system without mouthpiece previously described may possibly be supplemented by a front 19 fixed to the sheath 2 of the head piece and by a groove 17 also fixed to the sheath 2.

Afin de tenir compte des morphologies différentes des chevaux, on prévoit la possibilité de régler la longueur du lien 3 à l'aide, par exemple, d'un dispositif de réglage de longueur telle, par exemple qu'une boucle 18 disposée sur une partie du lien 3.In order to take account of the different morphologies of the horses, provision is made for the possibility of adjusting the length of the link 3 using, for example, a length adjusting device such as, for example, a loop 18 arranged on a part of link 3.

Le fourreau de la pièce de tête 1 passant sur la nuque du cheval a fonction de protéger la peau du contact et du frottement du lien. Ce fourreau est constitué d'un élément suffisamment large pour ne pas blesser. Il peut être constitué comme connu par une pièce en matériau doux tel que de la peau de mouton ou par la surface suffisamment large et douce du lien. Un lien correspondant à ces caractéristiques peut être constitué d'une corde guipée ou d'une corde tubulaire.The sheath of the head piece 1 passing over the neck of the horse has the function of protecting the skin from contact and from the friction of the link. This scabbard is made up of an element large enough not to hurt. It can be constituted as known by a piece of soft material such as sheepskin or by the sufficiently large and soft surface of the link. A link corresponding to these characteristics can consist of a wrapped cord or a tubular cord.

Les réalisations représentées figures 3 et 4 sont faites à partir de tels matériaux.The embodiments shown in Figures 3 and 4 are made from such materials.

Afin de simplifier la fabrication, le lien 30 et la muserolle 31 sont faits d'une seule pièce. Les extrémités du lien 32, 33 comportent des moyens d'accrochage et éventuellement de réglage en longueur constitués par exemple d'un anneau 34 et d'un crochet 35 de manière à permettre l'ajustage de la pièce de tête.In order to simplify manufacturing, the link 30 and the noseband 31 are made in one piece. The ends of the link 32, 33 comprise hooking means and optionally length adjustment consisting for example of a ring 34 and a hook 35 so as to allow the adjustment of the head piece.

Le réglage en longueur peut être obtenu d'une façon simple par la formation d'un ou plusieurs noeuds sur une partie du lien proche des moyens d'accrochage.The length adjustment can be obtained in a simple manner by the formation of one or more nodes on a part of the link close to the attachment means.

Selon les formes de réalisation montrées sur les figures 3 et 4 les taquets de butée 6, 7 sont formés par des noeuds.According to the embodiments shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the stop cleats 6, 7 are formed by knots.

Dans la réalisation du licol selon la figure 3, la sous-barbe 36 et la bride 37 sont formées d'une pièce unique épissée. Les extrémités de la partie formant sous-barbe portent des boucles qui coopèrent avec les mousquetons 38, 39 fixés sur les chapes des poulies 40, 410In the production of the halter according to FIG. 3, the sub-beard 36 and the flange 37 are formed from a single spliced piece. The ends of the under-beard portion carry loops which cooperate with the carabiners 38, 39 fixed on the yokes of the pulleys 40, 410

Lors de l'utilisation du licol, lorsque l'on tire le cheval, les poulies viennent en butée contre les taquets ou noeuds 6 et 7 et exercent par l'intermédiaire de la muserolle 31 une pression sur le nez du cheval. Par contre, lorsque le cheval dépasse, les poulies glissent vers les extrémités 32 et 33 du lien et la sous-barbe remonte vers la gorge du cheval. Afin de conserver la douceur du contrôle, on prévoit deux taquets de butée 42, 43 supplémentaires placés, à une certaine distance des premiers taquets 6 et 7, vers la nuque du cheval et contre lesquels viennent s'arrêter les poulies 40, 41 en cas de dépassement par le cheval. Ces taquets peuvent être constitués par des noeuds formés sur le lien, ou par des éléments rapportés fixés sur les parties de lien correspondantes.When using the halter, when pulling the horse, the pulleys abut against the cleats or knots 6 and 7 and exert via the noseband 31 pressure on the horse's nose. On the other hand, when the horse exceeds, the pulleys slide towards the ends 32 and 33 of the link and the under-beard goes up towards the throat of the horse. In order to maintain the smoothness of the control, two additional stop blocks 42, 43 are provided, placed at a certain distance from the first stops 6 and 7, towards the neck of the horse and against which the pulleys 40, 41 stop. overshoot by the horse. These cleats can be constituted by nodes formed on the link, or by added elements fixed on the corresponding link parts.

La figure 4 montre un système de harnachement sans embouchure, dans lequel on retrouve au moins en partie les éléments du licol. La sous-barbe 36 est formée dans cette réalisation par une pièce ne comportant pas de bride. La sous-barbe est accrochée de manière connue aux crochets des mousquetons 38 et 39 directement par ses anneaux d'extrémités ou par l'intermédiaire de crochets 44. Les liens reliant les mousquetons aux anneaux 20 et 21 sont formés d'un lien unique 45 passant au travers des deux anneaux et dont les extrémités sont fixées aux mousquetons.FIG. 4 shows a harness system without mouthpiece, in which the elements of the halter are found at least in part. The sub-beard 36 is formed in this embodiment by a part having no flange. The sub-beard is hooked in a known manner to the hooks of the carabiners 38 and 39 directly by its end rings or by means of hooks 44. The links connecting the carabiners to the rings 20 and 21 are formed by a single link 45 passing through the two rings and the ends of which are fixed to the carabiners.

Afin de simplifier les systèmes précédemment décrits, les ensembles poulie mousqueton sont éventuellement remplacés par des mousquetons. Chaque mousqueton tourillonne directement sur un anneau, d'un type semblable à celui référencé 35 sur la figure 3, l'anneau étant susceptible de coulisser sur le lien entre les butées 6 et 42 et 7 et 430In order to simplify the systems described above, the carabiner pulley assemblies are possibly replaced by carabiners. Each carabiner pivots directly on a ring, of a type similar to that referenced 35 in FIG. 3, the ring being capable of sliding on the link between the stops 6 and 42 and 7 and 430
