- the saddle is held on the horse's back by a strap that passes through a very specific area of the horse's body called a strap passage, and towards which it tends to move due to the morphology.
- a strap passage a very specific area of the horse's body
- the seat is then generally positioned perpendicular to the zone centered on the ninth dorsal vertebra and the latter must support the weight of the rider.
- the position of the saddle is too far in front of the horse's center of gravity and work or training has, among other goals, to develop musculature capable of compensating for this imbalance and allowing the horse to regain its natural gaits.
- the weight of the rider is applied to the horse at a point resulting from the position of his plate and the attachment of the stirrups carrying the stirrups.
- the weight of the rider tends to collapse the area of rachism under the saddle.
- the position of the saddle ( Figure 2) is such that the weight is applied to the level of the 9th dorsal vertebra and the whole tourniquet collapses since in this zone the vertebral bodies naturally dive forward .
- the slightest sagging of this region causes them to touch and causes symptoms of interspinous osteoarthritis.
- This condition is very painful and then self-maintains, the pain causing a reflex spasm of the muscles of the inter-vertebral joints.
- the invention proposes the production of a seat recoil device for transferring the weight of the rider backwards in the area of the 13th dorsal vertebra which is the most solid area of the rachism considered without muscle and that where the sagging is the least painful since the spinous processes are the shortest there.
- Means are known which make it possible to maintain a saddle in its conventional position during a malformation or a growth not yet completed of the withers of a horse. Indeed, in these cases the hollow of the shoulders are not sufficiently formed to allow the padding of the saddle to be housed there and to prevent it from moving forward.
- a false tourniquet consisting of a surfaix bearing stops against which abuts the front of the saddle panels. The surfaix then occupies the strap passage and the strap which holds the saddle is placed behind it on an area of mobility of the ribs, which has the disadvantage of compressing the rib cage.
- the false tourniquet being independent of the saddle, the exercise given to the horse causes a pushing of the saddle forward with the consequence of requesting the advancement of the false tourniquet and frequently causing discomfort at the elbows and injury to the level of ars.
- Document DE-A-27 36 327 describes a device for reversing a saddle according to the preamble of claim 1 or 2, derived from the tourniquet and also independent of the saddle itself and comprising stop means saddle.
- shock absorbers consist of elastic foam plates or pneumatic cushions.
- the invention proposes a saddle reversing device which avoids the drawbacks previously indicated by the use of abutment means, cooperating with the shoulders of the horse against which the front of the saddle is held, these said means being independent or integral with the saddle and possibly held by the saddle strap.

- Figure 4 is a second embodiment of a device according to the invention.
- Figure 5 shows schematically the action of a saddle in the retracted position on the vertebrae of a horse.
- Figure 6 shows a first embodiment of a damping device according to the invention.
- Figure 7 shows a second embodiment of a damping device according to the invention.
- the saddle recoil device applies the weight of the rider in the region of the 13th and 14th dorsal vertebrae (Figure 5), which is the keystone of the spine and the most solid area of the rachism even while ignoring the muscles.
- a conventional saddle 1 normally includes a saddle frame consisting of a front tree and a rear tree connected by bands. Under these trees and these bands are housed on each side of the cushions or panels 2.
- the seat 3 which is the part on which the rider is placed is housed between the trees.
- the quarters 4 which cover and protect the panels.
- the straps 5 are fixed on the bands, on which the straps 6 of the strap 7 which are used to fix the saddle and the stirrup holders 35 are fixed.
- the districts are covered by false districts.
- the front end of the panels carries inward padding which is housed in the hollow of the horse's shoulders to prevent the saddle from advancing. Due to the need to pass the strap through the strap passage and fix it approximately plumb with the seat to keep it firmly on the horse's back and prevent it from leaving the horse's back, when it ci takes exercise, it is not possible to move the girths towards the front tree.
- stop means 14 which, according to the embodiment shown in Figure 3 comprise a strap 7 ( Figure 3) which has at its ends 8, 9 on its rear longitudinal edge 10 a part 11 protruding rearwards on which are provided straps 6 capable of cooperating with the counter-straps 5 of the saddle, and, near its front longitudinal edge 12 and approximately parallel thereto at least one front fixing means 13 capable of cooperating with stop means 14 to hold them against the shoulders of the horse.

- These fixing means are constituted according to the example , a strap and a buckle.
- the belts 21 of the saddle cloth are fixed so as to be in line with one another, the straight line joining them passes behind the stops 18 and the withers of the horse. It is possible to provide a reinforcement of the carpet directly above the withers to release the latter or a notch.
- the rear protruding parts 11 form a right triangle whose short side of the right angle is in alignment with the edge 8 and 9 of the end of the strap and approximately perpendicular to the longitudinal edges 10.
- the trapezoidal part 22 of the strap is made of a relatively rigid material and must be of short length so as not to interfere with the breathing of the horse.
- the saddle cloth, carrying the stop means constitutes in itself a recoil mat which can be maintained in a conventional manner by the saddle and its strap, the fixing means then being formed by the latter.
- FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of a saddle reversing device according to the invention, in which the abutment means consist of the front padding 23 and 24 of the panels 25, of a saddle formed by a frame of normal saddle 26 on the front tree 27 from which is fixedly or movably mounted, a front tree here called an extension of the front tree 28 and the wings of which carry the complementary means 29 of the front fixing means 13, of the ends of the strap 7.
- the tree extension 28 can be provided adjustable in length so as to set the adjustment of the distance from the seat relative to the hollow of the shoulders in which the padding forms a stop and thus take account of the morphology of the horse. In the case of the adjustable tree extension, this can be covered with panels independent of those of the saddle frame supporting this seat.
- the saddle frame is of a length such that the seat is plumb with the 13th and 14th dorsal vertebrae while the padding of the panels are housed in the hollows of the shoulder.
- the frame carries countersons at the base of the seat and the wings of the front tree, the complementary means of the front fixing means 13 of the ends of the strap 7.
- the stops 18 arranged on the outside of the saddle cloth are removable so that they can be replaced depending on the horse, the distance between the shoulder grooves and the 13th and 14th dorsal vertebrae being liable to vary from horse to horse .
- these stops can be adjustable lengthwise.
- the position of the saddle is determined not only by the distance from the stops to the seat, but also by the distance of the straps 6 from the strap by means of front attachment 13.
- this distance adjustable there is provided a certain number of straps allowing a gradual longitudinal displacement of the order of ten centimeters towards the rear, corresponding approximately to the average distance between the 9th dorsal vertebra (classic saddle position) and the 13th and 14th dorsal vertebrae, position steephead Valley.
- the damping device 30 ( Figures 6 and 7), according to the invention, adaptable to the previously described reversing devices and in particular to the reversing mat 16, has the form of a mat, consisting of at least one pocket in which is placed the cushioning material.
- the device according to the example of FIG. 6 has forward two ears 31 which are placed symmetrically on the mat 16 and on either side of the dorsal line 32.
- the fixing device preferably consists of a quick fixing system, for example a "VELCRO" strip allowing an adjustable longitudinal position of the damping device relative to the mat 16.
- the pocket is open, for example, along its midline.
- the material is in the form of a panel of dimensions corresponding to those of the pocket, or fragments of more or less large dimensions, means for rapidly closing the openings being provided.
- the damping device is separated transversely into two pockets, an anterior pocket forming the ears 31 and a rear pocket 34.
- Each of the pockets carries a quick fixing system which cooperates with a system of additional fixing provided on the back line of the carpet.
- This two-part design allows the shock absorber to be precisely and independently adapted to the morphology of the horse.
- open or quick-closing pockets allows the use of quality shock absorbing materials different or of different thickness as well as cushions presenting zones with different damping allowing to compensate in a simple and fast way, during the saddle the morphological differences, or to regulate the importance of the damping according to the anatomical zones more or less sensitive to the horse.
- the damping material is a polyurethane elastomer, such as that known under the name of "SORBOTHANE”.
- the damping device as described can be used with conventional saddle pads where it can not only play the role of shock absorber, but also depending on the type of saddle used, that of reversing stops.

Description
L'invention concerne un dispositif de recul d'une selle d'équitation, ladite selle étant maintenue à l'avant par des moyens de butée coopérant avec les épaules d'un cheval et étant fixée sur le dos du cheval par une sangle dont les extrémités portent des sanglons coopérant avec les contre-sanglons fixés à la selle et un dispositif amortisseur adaptable audit dispositif de recul.The invention relates to a device for reversing a riding saddle, said saddle being held at the front by abutment means cooperating with the shoulders of a horse and being fixed to the horse's back by a strap, the ends carry straps cooperating with the counter-straps fixed to the saddle and a shock absorbing device adaptable to said reversing device.
La selle est maintenue sur le dos du cheval par une sangle qui passe dans une zone bien précise du corps du cheval dénommée passage de sangle, et vers laquelle elle tend à se déplacer par suite de la morphologie. Afin d'éviter que la selle ne se déplace vers l'avant, celle-ci porte des matelassures faisant office de butée qui s'appuie dans les creux des épaules. Le siège se trouve alors généralement positionné à l'aplomb de la zone centrée sur la neuvième vertèbre dorsale et celle-ci doit supporter le poids du cavalier.The saddle is held on the horse's back by a strap that passes through a very specific area of the horse's body called a strap passage, and towards which it tends to move due to the morphology. To prevent the saddle from moving forward, it has padding that acts as a stop that rests in the hollow of the shoulders. The seat is then generally positioned perpendicular to the zone centered on the ninth dorsal vertebra and the latter must support the weight of the rider.
La position de la selle est trop en avant par rapport au centre de gravité du cheval et le travail ou l'entraînement a, entre autre but, de développer une musculature susceptible de compenser ce déséquilibre et de permettre au cheval de retrouver ses allures naturelles.The position of the saddle is too far in front of the horse's center of gravity and work or training has, among other goals, to develop musculature capable of compensating for this imbalance and allowing the horse to regain its natural gaits.
Malheureusement le travail des jeunes chevaux se solde trop souvent par une restriction du mouvement des épaules. Il n'est pas rare de voir des cavaliers déçus parce que leur cheval a perdu une partie des allures qu'il avait au pré.Unfortunately the work of young horses too often results in a restriction of the movement of the shoulders. It is not uncommon to see disappointed riders because their horse has lost some of the gaits it had in the field.
Ces animaux présentent pratiquement tous la même lésion osseuse consistant en un blocage d'une ou plusieurs vertèbres du garrot (vertèbres dorsales 3 à 8). L'étude de la colonne vertébrale du cheval (Figure 1) mène à deux constatations: le sommet de la courbe des corps vertébraux est au niveau des 13ième et 14ième vertèbres dorsales, zone où la ligne du dessus est la plus basse; les apophyses épineuses les plus courtes sont celles de ces mêmes vertèbres.These animals practically all have the same bone lesion consisting of a blockage of one or more vertebrae of the withers (
Le poids du cavalier s'applique sur le cheval en un point résultant de la position de son assiette et de l'attache des étrivières portant les étriers. Lorsque le cheval n'est pas assez musclé, le poids du cavalier tend à affaisser la zone du rachisme se trouvant sous la selle.The weight of the rider is applied to the horse at a point resulting from the position of his plate and the attachment of the stirrups carrying the stirrups. When the horse is not muscular enough, the weight of the rider tends to collapse the area of rachism under the saddle.
Pour les raisons précédemment développées, la position de la selle (Figure 2) est telle que le poids se trouve appliqué au niveau de la 9ième vertèbre dorsale et tout le garrot s'affaisse puisque dans cette zone les corps vertébraux plongent naturellement vers l'avant. Par suite de la grande longueur des apophyses épineuses du garrot, le moindre affaissement de cette région les amène à se toucher et provoque des symptômes d'ostéoarthrite inter-épineuse. Cette affection est très douloureuse et s'auto-entretient ensuite, la douleur provoquant un spasme réflexe des muscles des articulations inter-vertébrales.For the reasons previously developed, the position of the saddle (Figure 2) is such that the weight is applied to the level of the 9th dorsal vertebra and the whole tourniquet collapses since in this zone the vertebral bodies naturally dive forward . Owing to the great length of the spinous processes tourniquet, the slightest sagging of this region causes them to touch and causes symptoms of interspinous osteoarthritis. This condition is very painful and then self-maintains, the pain causing a reflex spasm of the muscles of the inter-vertebral joints.
L'invention propose la réalisation d'un dispositif de recul du siège permettant de reporter le poids du cavalier vers l'arrière dans la zone de la 13ième vertèbre dorsale qui est la zone la plus solide du rachisme considéré sans muscle et celle où l'affaissement est le moins douloureux puisque les apophyses épineuses y sont les plus courtes. On connaît des moyens permettant de maintenir une selle dans sa position classique lors d'une malformation ou d'une croissance pas encore terminée du garrot d'un cheval. En effet, dans ces cas les creux des épaules ne sont pas suffisamment formés pour permettre au rembourrage de la selle de s'y loger et d'empêcher celle-ci de se déplacer vers l'avant. On utilise alors un faux garrot constitué d'un surfaix portant des butées contre lesquelles vient buter l'avant des panneaux de la selle. Le surfaix occupe alors le passage de sangle et la sangle qui maintient la selle est placée derrière celui-ci sur une zone de mobilité des côtes, ce qui a pour inconvénient de comprimer la cage thoracique.The invention proposes the production of a seat recoil device for transferring the weight of the rider backwards in the area of the 13th dorsal vertebra which is the most solid area of the rachism considered without muscle and that where the sagging is the least painful since the spinous processes are the shortest there. Means are known which make it possible to maintain a saddle in its conventional position during a malformation or a growth not yet completed of the withers of a horse. Indeed, in these cases the hollow of the shoulders are not sufficiently formed to allow the padding of the saddle to be housed there and to prevent it from moving forward. We then use a false tourniquet consisting of a surfaix bearing stops against which abuts the front of the saddle panels. The surfaix then occupies the strap passage and the strap which holds the saddle is placed behind it on an area of mobility of the ribs, which has the disadvantage of compressing the rib cage.
Le faux garrot étant indépendant de la selle, l'exercice donné au cheval provoque une poussée de la selle vers l'avant avec pour conséquence de solliciter l'avancement du faux garrot et de provoquer fréquemment une gêne au niveau des coudes et une blessure au niveau des ars.The false tourniquet being independent of the saddle, the exercise given to the horse causes a pushing of the saddle forward with the consequence of requesting the advancement of the false tourniquet and frequently causing discomfort at the elbows and injury to the level of ars.
Le document DE-A-27 36 327 décrit un dispositif de recul d'une selle selon le préamble de la revendication 1 ou 2, dérivé du faux-garrot et, lui aussi, indépendant de la selle proprement dite et comprenant des moyens de butée de selle.Document DE-A-27 36 327 describes a device for reversing a saddle according to the preamble of
On connaît aussi du document US-A-4 524 570 une selle-tapis comprenant un tapis de selle muni, à l'avant de ses deux pans latéraux, d'un rembourrage extérieur épais conçu seulement pour constituer un appui confortable pour les genoux du cavalier.Document US-A-4 524 570 also discloses a saddle-mat comprising a saddle mat provided, at the front of its two side panels, with a thick external padding designed only to constitute a comfortable support for the knees of the rider.
Malgré de nombreuses tentatives jusqu'à ce jour pour faire reculer la selle et éviter les inconvénients du faux garrot, aucune solution satisfaisante n'a été apportée à ce problème.Despite numerous attempts to date to roll back the saddle and avoid the drawbacks of the false tourniquet, no satisfactory solution has been found to this problem.
Toujours dans le but d'éviter les affections de la colonne vertébrale et de minimiser les chocs dus aux rebonds du cavalier sur la selle lors des différentes allures et d'augmenter ainsi le confort cavalier cheval, certaines selles sont équipées de moyens amortisseurs fixés directement ou indirectement. Ces amortisseurs sont constitués de plaques de mousses élastiques ou de coussins pneumatiques.Always with the aim of avoiding affections of the spine and minimizing the shocks due to the rebound of the rider on the saddle during the different gaits and thus increasing the comfort of the rider, some saddles are fitted with shock absorbers fixed directly or indirectly. These shock absorbers consist of elastic foam plates or pneumatic cushions.
L'inconvénient majeur présenté par de tels systèmes est dû au fait que le tapis ou la selle doit être adapté à la morphologie du cheval. Par conséquent, pour être efficace, le tapis ou la selle doit être personnalisé. Par suite de la conception unitaire de l'amortisseur et de la selle ou du tapis, le système doit être réalisé sur mesure par un sellier. Il en résulte un investissement important qui limite son emploi à des articles de sellerie de haut niveau. En outre l'ensemble ainsi réalisé ne permet pas un entretien facile.The major drawback presented by such systems is due to the fact that the carpet or saddle must be adapted to the morphology of the horse. Therefore, to be effective, the carpet or saddle must be personalized. Due to the unitary design of the shock absorber and the saddle or the carpet, the system must be made to measure by a saddler. This results in a significant investment which limits its use to high-level saddlery items. In addition, the assembly thus produced does not allow easy maintenance.
L'invention propose un dispositif de recul de selle qui évite les inconvénients précédemment signalés par l'utilisation de moyens de butée, coopérant avec les épaules du cheval contre lesquels est maintenu l'avant de la selle, ces dits moyens étant indépendants ou solidaires de la selle et éventuellement maintenus par la sangle de selle.The invention proposes a saddle reversing device which avoids the drawbacks previously indicated by the use of abutment means, cooperating with the shoulders of the horse against which the front of the saddle is held, these said means being independent or integral with the saddle and possibly held by the saddle strap.
Selon une forme de réalisation, des moyens de butée sont prévus sur l'interieur d'un tapis de selle pour coopérer avec les épaules du cheval, d'autres moyens de butée étant prévus sur l'extérieur de la partie avant du tapis de selle pour arrêter le siège de la selle dans une position longitudinale prédéterminée, les pans avant du tapis de selle portant des moyens de fixation complémentaires de moyens de fixation avant prévus sur la sangle.According to one embodiment, abutment means are provided on the inside of a saddle cloth to cooperate with the shoulders of the horse, other abutment means being provided on the outside of the front part of the saddle mat to stop the seat of the saddle in a predetermined longitudinal position, the front panels of the mat saddle carrying additional attachment means of front attachment means provided on the strap.
Selon une autre forme de réalisation, une matelassure d'un prolongement d'arçon avant de la selle constitue des moyens de butée arrêtant vers l'avant le siège de la selle dans une position longitudinale prédéterminée, des ailes du prolongement d'arçon portant des moyens de fixation complémentaires de moyens de fixation avant prévus sur la sangle.According to another embodiment, a padding of a front tree extension of the saddle constitutes abutment means stopping forwards the seat of the saddle in a predetermined longitudinal position, wings of the tree extension carrying additional fastening means of front fastening means provided on the strap.
D'autres caractéristiques sont définies aux revendications 3 à 15.Other characteristics are defined in
L'invention propose en outre un dispositif amortisseur réglable susceptible d'être placé entre le dispositif de recul de selle et la selle et comportant au moins une poche recevant le matériau amortisseur, comportant selon une ligne médiane des moyens de fixation rapide permettant le réglage de sa position longitudinale sur les moyens de fixation complémentaires prévus sur la ligne dorsale du tapis de selle.The invention further provides an adjustable shock absorbing device capable of being placed between the saddle reversing device and the saddle and comprising at least one pocket receiving the shock absorbing material, comprising along a central line quick fixing means allowing the adjustment of its longitudinal position on the additional fixing means provided on the dorsal line of the saddle cloth.
La description qui va suivre en regard des figures ci-annexées, données à titre d'exemples, permettra de comprendre comment l'invention peut être réalisée.The description which follows with reference to the appended figures, given by way of examples, will make it possible to understand how the invention can be implemented.
La figure 1 représente une vue partielle du squelette d'un cheval et plus particulièrement sa colonne vertébrale.Figure 1 shows a partial view of the skeleton of a horse and more particularly its spine.
La figure 2 montre schématiquement l'action d'une selle en position classique sur les vertèbres d'un cheval.Figure 2 schematically shows the action of a saddle in a conventional position on the vertebrae of a horse.
La figure 3 est un premier exemple de réalisation d'un dispositif selon l'invention.Figure 3 is a first embodiment of a device according to the invention.
La figure 4 est un deuxième exemple de réalisation d'un dispositif selon l'invention.Figure 4 is a second embodiment of a device according to the invention.
La figure 5 montre schématiquement l'action d'une selle en position reculée sur les vertèbres d'un cheval.Figure 5 shows schematically the action of a saddle in the retracted position on the vertebrae of a horse.
La figure 6 montre un premier exemple de réalisation d'un dispositif amortisseur selon l'invention.Figure 6 shows a first embodiment of a damping device according to the invention.
La figure 7 montre un deuxième exemple de réalisation d'un dispositif amortisseur selon l'invention.Figure 7 shows a second embodiment of a damping device according to the invention.
Comme il a été précédemment expliqué, en regard des figures 1 et 2, la position classique d'une selle par suite du passage obligatoire de la sangle, qui est fixée indirectement aux bandes constituant la charpente de la selle, a pour conséquence d'appliquer le poids du cavalier dans la région de la 9ième vertèbre dorsale et entraîne des inconvénients au niveau des apophyses vertébrales.As previously explained, with reference to Figures 1 and 2, the conventional position of a saddle as a result of the compulsory passage of the strap, which is fixed indirectly to the bands constituting the frame of the saddle, has the effect of applying the weight of the rider in the region of the 9th dorsal vertebra and causes disadvantages in terms of the vertebral processes.
Le dispositif de recul de la selle, conformément à l'invention, applique le poids du cavalier dans la région des 13ième et 14ième vertèbres dorsales (Figure 5), qui est la clé de voûte de la colonne vertébrale et la zone la plus solide du rachisme même en faisant abstraction des muscles.The saddle recoil device, according to the invention, applies the weight of the rider in the region of the 13th and 14th dorsal vertebrae (Figure 5), which is the keystone of the spine and the most solid area of the rachism even while ignoring the muscles.
L'affaissement même discret qui peut se produire dans cette zone, a pour effet d'écarter les apophyses de la région du garrot et présente un aspect bénéfique pour toute l'action du cheval. En effet, cet écartement entraîne une décontraction des muscles des épaules avec libération de leurs mouvements et une montée plus aisée du garrot donc un étirement de tout le rachisme.Even discreet sagging that can occur in this area, has the effect of spreading the processes of the region of the withers and has a beneficial aspect for all the action of the horse. Indeed, this spacing causes a relaxation of the shoulder muscles with liberation of their movements and an easier rise of the tourniquet therefore a stretching of all the rachism.
La figure 3 représente un premier exemple de réalisation du dispositif selon l'invention, une selle classique 1 comporte normalement une charpente de selle constituée d'un arçon avant et d'un arçon arrière reliés par des bandes. Sous ces arçons et ces bandes sont logés de chaque côté des coussins ou panneaux 2. Le siège 3 qui est la partie sur laquelle se place le cavalier est logé entre les arçons. Sur les bandes sont fixés les quartiers 4 qui recouvrent et protègent les panneaux. Sur les bandes, sont encore fixés les contre-sanglons 5 sur lesquels viennent se fixer les sanglons 6 de la sangle 7 qui sert à fixer la selle et les porte-étrivières 35.3 shows a first embodiment of the device according to the invention, a conventional saddle 1 normally includes a saddle frame consisting of a front tree and a rear tree connected by bands. Under these trees and these bands are housed on each side of the cushions or
Les quartiers sont recouverts par des faux quartiers. L'extrémité avant des panneaux porte vers l'intérieur une matelassure qui vient se loger dans les creux des épaules du cheval pour empêcher la selle d'avancer. Par suite de la nécessité de faire passer la sangle dans le passage de sangle et de la fixer approximativement à l'aplomb du siège pour la maintenir fermement sur le dos du cheval et éviter qu'elle ne quitte le dos du cheval, lorsque celui-ci prend de l'exercice, il n'est pas possible de déplacer les contre-sanglons vers l'arçon avant. Les trois conditions suivantes: la sangle est dans son passage, les contre-sanglons sont en face des sanglons pour qu'ils puissent y être fixés, le siège est au niveau des 13ième et 14ième vertèbres dorsales, ne peuvent être simultanément remplies par les dispositifs connus.The districts are covered by false districts. The front end of the panels carries inward padding which is housed in the hollow of the horse's shoulders to prevent the saddle from advancing. Due to the need to pass the strap through the strap passage and fix it approximately plumb with the seat to keep it firmly on the horse's back and prevent it from leaving the horse's back, when it ci takes exercise, it is not possible to move the girths towards the front tree. The following three conditions: the strap is in its path, the counter-straps are in front of the straps so that they can be attached to it, the seat is at the level of the 13th and 14th dorsal vertebrae, cannot be simultaneously fulfilled by the devices known.
Le dispositif de recul, selon l'invention, répond à cette triple condition en utilisant des moyens de butée 14 qui, selon le mode de réalisation représenté sur la figure 3 comportent une sangle 7 (Figure 3) qui présente à ses extrémités 8, 9 sur son bord longitudinal arrière 10 une partie 11 saillant vers l'arrière sur laquelle sont prévus des sanglons 6 susceptibles de coopérer avec les contre-sanglons 5 de la selle, et, près de son bord longitudinal avant 12 et approximativement parallèle à celui-ci au moins un moyen de fixation avant 13 susceptible de coopérer avec des moyens de butée 14 pour maintenir ceux-ci contre les épaules du cheval.The reversing device, according to the invention, meets this triple condition by using
Les moyens de butée, selon le mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures 3, 6 et 7, sont portés par le bord avant 15 d'un tapis de selle 16 et sont constitués vers l'intérieur de matelassures 17 coopérant avec le creux des épaules du cheval et vers l'extérieur de butées 18 contre lesquelles vient porter l'avant des panneaux 2.The abutment means, according to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 3, 6 and 7, are carried by the
Selon l'exemple de réalisation de la figure 3, les pans avant 19, 20 du tapis de selle portent des moyens complémentaires 21 des moyens de fixation avant 13 prévus aux extrémités de la sangle 7. Ces moyens de fixation sont constitués selon l'exemple, d'une courroie et d'une boucle. De préférence, les courroies 21 du tapis de selle sont fixées de manière à être dans le prolongement l'une de l'autre, la droite les joignant passe e rrière des butées 18 et du garrot du cheval. On prévoit, éventuellement, une armature du tapis à l'aplomb du garrot pour dégager celui-ci ou une échancrure.According to the embodiment of FIG. 3, the
Selon l'exemple de réalisation de la sangle, telle que représentée figure 3, les parties saillant vers l'arrière 11 forment un triangle rectangle dont le petit côté de l'angle droit est dans l'alignement du bord 8 et 9 de l'extrémité de la sangle et approximativement perpendiculaire aux bords longidutinaux 10. De préférence, la partie trapézoïdale 22 de la sangle est en un matériau relativement rigide et doit être de faible longueur pour ne pas gêner la respiration du cheval.According to the embodiment of the strap, as shown in Figure 3, the rear protruding
Le tapis de selle, portant les moyens de butée, constitue en lui-même un tapis de recul qui peut être maintenu de manière classique par la selle et sa sangle, les moyens de fixation étant alors constitués par ces derniers.The saddle cloth, carrying the stop means, constitutes in itself a recoil mat which can be maintained in a conventional manner by the saddle and its strap, the fixing means then being formed by the latter.
La figure 4 montre un deuxième exemple de réalisation d'un dispositif de recul de selle selon l'invention, dans lequel les moyens de butée sont constitués par les matelassures avant 23 et 24 des panneaux 25, d'une selle formée par une charpente de selle normale 26 sur l'arçon avant 27 de laquelle est monté de manière fixe ou mobile, un arçon avant dénommé ici prolongement d'arçon avant 28 et dont les ailes portent les moyens complémentaires 29 des moyens de fixation avant 13, des extrémités de la sangle 7. Le prolongement d'arçon 28 peut être prévu réglable en longueur de manière à mettre le réglage de la distance du siège par rapport aux creux des épaules dans lesquels se placent les matelassures formant butée et ainsi tenir compte de la morphologie du cheval. Dans le cas du prolongement d'arçon réglable, celui-ci peut être habillé de panneaux indépendants de ceux de la charpente de selle supportant ce siège.FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of a saddle reversing device according to the invention, in which the abutment means consist of the
Selon un exemple non représenté, la charpente de selle est d'une longueur telle que le siège se trouve à l'aplomb des 13ième et 14ième vertèbres dorsales alors que les matelassures des panneaux sont logées dans les creux de l'épaule. La charpente porte des contresanglons à l'aplomb du siège et les ailes de l'arçon avant, les moyens complémentaires des moyens de fixation avant 13 des extrémités de la sangle 7. Dans les exemples de réalisation montrés Figures 3, 6 et 7, les butées 18 disposées sur l'extérieur du tapis de selle, sont amovibles afin de pouvoir être remplacées selon les chevaux, la distance entre les creux d'épaule et les 13ième et 14ième vertèbres dorsales étant susceptible de varier d'un cheval à l'autre.According to an example not shown, the saddle frame is of a length such that the seat is plumb with the 13th and 14th dorsal vertebrae while the padding of the panels are housed in the hollows of the shoulder. The frame carries countersons at the base of the seat and the wings of the front tree, the complementary means of the front fixing means 13 of the ends of the
Selon une autre forme de réalisation, ces butées peuvent être réglables longidutinalement.According to another embodiment, these stops can be adjustable lengthwise.
Il est à remarquer que la position de la selle est déterminée non seulement par la distance des butées au siège, mais également par la distance des sanglons 6 de la sangle au moyen de fixation avant 13. Pour rendre cette distance réglable, il est prévu un certain nombre de sanglons permettant un déplacement longitudinal graduel de l'ordre d'une dizaine de centimètres vers l'arrière, correspondant approximativement à la distance moyenne entre la 9ième vertèbre dorsale (position de selle classique) et les 13ième et 14ième vertèbres dorsales, position reculée.It should be noted that the position of the saddle is determined not only by the distance from the stops to the seat, but also by the distance of the straps 6 from the strap by means of
Le dispositif amortisseur 30 (Figures 6 et 7), selon l'invention, adaptable aux dispositifs de recul précédemment décrits et en particulier au tapis de recul 16, a la forme d'un tapis, constitué d'au moins une poche dans laquelle est placé le matériau amortisseur.The damping device 30 (Figures 6 and 7), according to the invention, adaptable to the previously described reversing devices and in particular to the reversing
Le dispositif selon l'exemple de la figure 6 présente vers l'avant deux oreilles 31 qui se placent symétriquement sur le tapis 16 et de part et d'autre de la ligne dorsale 32.The device according to the example of FIG. 6 has forward two
Selon la ligne médiane 33 du dispositif, il est prévu des moyens de fixation coopérant avec des moyens de fixation complémentaires fixés selon la ligne dorsale 32 du tapis. Le dispositif de fixation est constitué de préférence par un système de fixation rapide, par exemple une bande "VELCRO" permettant un positionneme nt longitudinal réglable du dispositif amortisseur par rapport au tapis 16. Afin de permettre l'introduction du matériau amortisseur, la poche est ouverte, par exemple, selon sa ligne médiane. Le matériau se présente sous la forme d'un panneau de dimensions correspondant à celles de la poche, ou de fragments de dimensions plus ou moins importantes, des moyens de fermeture rapide des ouvertures étant prévus.According to the
Selon une autre forme de réalisation, représentée figure 7, le dispositif amortisseur est séparé transversalement en deux poches, une poche antérieure formant les oreilles 31 et une poche postérieure 34. Chacune des poches porte un système de fixation rapide qui vient coopérer avec un système de fixation complémentaire prévu sur la ligne dorsale du tapis.According to another embodiment, shown in FIG. 7, the damping device is separated transversely into two pockets, an anterior pocket forming the
Cette réalisation en deux parties permet d'adapter, avec précision et de façon indépendante, le dispositif amortisseur à la morphologie du cheval.This two-part design allows the shock absorber to be precisely and independently adapted to the morphology of the horse.
L'utilisation de poches ouvertes ou à fermeture rapide autorise l'emploi de matériaux amortisseurs de qualité différente ou d'épaisseur variée ainsi que de coussins présentant des zones à amortissement différent permettant de compenser d'une manière simple et rapide, lors du sellement les différences morphologiques, ou de régler l'importance de l'amortissement en fonction des zones anatomiques plus ou moins sensibles du cheval.The use of open or quick-closing pockets allows the use of quality shock absorbing materials different or of different thickness as well as cushions presenting zones with different damping allowing to compensate in a simple and fast way, during the saddle the morphological differences, or to regulate the importance of the damping according to the anatomical zones more or less sensitive to the horse.
Selon un exemple de réalisation, le matériau amortisseur est un élastomère polyuréthane, tel que celui connu sous le nom de "SORBOTHANE".According to an exemplary embodiment, the damping material is a polyurethane elastomer, such as that known under the name of "SORBOTHANE".
Le dispositif d'amortissement tel que décrit peut être utilisé avec des tapis de selle classiques où il peut non seulement jouer le rôle d'amortisseur, mais également selon le type de selle utilisé, celui de butées de recul.The damping device as described can be used with conventional saddle pads where it can not only play the role of shock absorber, but also depending on the type of saddle used, that of reversing stops.
