Abstract
As discussed in our Australian Patent 524616 over recent years and with the advance of technology many improvements have been made to the construction techniques in saddlery and in the materials used. Many years ago saddles were constructed by building up or adding on various saddle components to what was a conventional wooden saddle tree. With the advance of technology we saw the introduction of saddle trees formed from rigid plastics material and when thin light racing saddles were required the insertion of thin carbon rods or straws. The carbon rods giving the desired strength to the saddle tree. Developments of this nature saw the saddle tree being formed complete with seat cantle and pommel.
Description
- As discussed in our Australian Patent 524616 over recent years and with the advance of technology many improvements have been made to the construction techniques in saddlery and in the materials used. Many years ago saddles were constructed by building up or adding on various saddle components to what was a conventional wooden saddle tree. With the advance of technology we saw the introduction of saddle trees formed from rigid plastics material and when thin light racing saddles were required the insertion of thin carbon rods or straws. The carbon rods giving the desired strength to the saddle tree. Developments of this nature saw the saddle tree being formed complete with seat, cantle and pommel.
- One problem in the area of saddle construction was that economies of scale could not be fully utilised as different moulds were required for different sized saddles i.e. greater or less distance between the pommel and the cantle for different age groups and sizes of riders.
- One of the objects of this invention is to produce a method of construction of a saddle tree whereby standardising of two moulds can give an extensive number of varying sized saddles.
- In one form the invention resides in an improved saddle tree wherein the saddle tree is formed from two moulded members, first said member comprising the pommel and seat of a saddle and the second of said members comprising the cantle, said cantle member adapted to be secured to the seat of the saddle in a pre-selected position thereby governing the size of the saddle and distance between the pommel and cantle.
- The invention will be better understood by reference to the following description of one specific embodiment as shown in the accompanying drawings wherein:-
- Fig. 1 is a plan view of the two moulded members;
- Fig. 2 is a plan view of the cantle member in position for construction of a large saddle; and
- Fig. 3 is a plan view of the cantle member in position for the construction of a small saddle.
- In the embodiment shown in the drawings a saddle tree is constructed from two
moulded members 11 and 13. The first member 11 comprising (in one piece) thepommel 15 andseat 17 whilst thesecond member 13 comprises thecantle 19. Thecantle 19 has an inwardlyinclined flange 21 adapted to conform with the profile of theseat 17 so that a relatively smooth line can be taken from thepommel 15 across theseat 17 and up to thecantle 19. By locating the second mouldedmember 13 on the rearwardupper portion 17A of theseat 17 and securing thereto, a large or long saddle tree is formed as shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings. Theedge 23 of theinclined flange 21 being just within theperiphery 25 of thesaddle seat 17. - Using the same two moulded members one can produce a large number of different sized saddle trees from the largest as shown in Fig. 2 to the smallest as shown in Fig. 3. In Fig. 3 of the drawings the second
moulded member 13 is brought well inwardly on theseat portion 17 thereby reducing the length between thecantle 19 and pommel 15 and secured in position. In the innermost position (Fig. 3) the maximum amount ofsurplus saddle seat 17 would be freely projecting out below the raisedcantle member 19. Any surplus moulding such as this is removed before further construction of the saddle. - As will be appreciated the two separate moulds and matching cantle-seat profiles enables many different length of saddles to be formed. The standardising of production procedures and components enabling less stock to be carried to meet a wide range of customer requirements.
