Abstract

The stirrup straps are fastened at two fastening points (3, 4) arranged at a distance from one another on the saddle (1) and form an approximately V-shaped loop. At the deepest point of this loop, the stirrups (5) are suspended freely movably. The rider thus attains a position of equilibrium in any position as the stirrup is always pressed under the effect of gravity into the lowest point of the loop. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Sattel mit an Steigbügelriemen aufgehängten Steigbügeln.The invention relates to a saddle with stirrups suspended from stirrup leathers.

Bei konventionellen Sattel-Konstruktionen sind die Steigbügel im vorderen Bereich des Sattelbaums an einem Punkt aufge­hängt. Der Reiter erreicht die korrekte Haltung auf dem Pferd, wenn Schulter, Hüfte und Absatz etwa auf der gleichen vertikalen Schwerelinie liegen. Diese Haltung erfordert eine bestimmte Stellung der Oberschenkel, wobei die Gefahr besteht, dass sich der Reiter verkrampft und keinen der Gang­art des Pferdes angepassten Gleichgewichtszustand erreicht. Als Sitzhilfe werden sogenannte Kniepauschen am vorderen Rand der Sattelblätter angeordnet. Diese verhindern jedoch eben­falls eine freie Bewegung des Reiters, was z.B. bei extremen Sitzpositionen im Sprung usw. ebenfalls hinderlich ist.With conventional saddle constructions, the stirrups are suspended at one point in the front area of the saddle tree. The rider achieves the correct posture on the horse when the shoulder, hip and heel lie approximately on the same vertical line of gravity. This posture requires a certain position of the thighs, with the risk that the rider tightens and does not achieve an equilibrium state that is adapted to the gait of the horse. So-called knee rolls are arranged on the front edge of the saddle blades as a seating aid. However, these also prevent the rider from moving freely, e.g. in extreme sitting positions when jumping etc. is also a hindrance.

Es ist daher eine Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen Reitsattel zu schaffen, dessen Steigbügel-Aufhängung einen optimalen Gleichgewichtszustand in jeder Sitzposition ermöglicht. Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss durch einen Sattel gelöst, der die Merkmale im Anspruch 1 aufweist. Die Zwei-Punkte-Aufhän­gung mit der V-förmigen Schlaufe und dem sich darin frei beweglichen Steigbügel führt dazu, dass der Steigbügel rela­tiv zum Sattel eine pendelnde Bewegung ausführen kann, wobei er in jeder Sitzposition in den tiefsten Punkt gepresst wird. Dadurch kann der Reiter sein Gleichgewicht im Steigbügel immer voll ausbalancieren, ohne dass eine falsche Haltung eingenommen wird. Die Pendelbewegung des Steigbügels ist im Gegensatz zur konventionellen Aufhängung parallel zur Sattel­längsrichtung orientiert, womit ein Abspreizen der Beine vermieden wird. Ausserdem können die Kniepauschen völlig wegfallen, was einerseits den Aufbau des Sattels vereinfacht und andererseits dem Reiter grösseren Bewegungsspielraum lässt.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a riding saddle whose stirrup suspension enables an optimal state of equilibrium in any sitting position. This object is achieved according to the invention by a saddle which has the features in claim 1. The two-point suspension with the V-shaped loop and the freely movable stirrup means that the stirrup can perform an oscillating movement relative to the saddle, being pressed to the lowest point in every sitting position. As a result, the rider can always fully balance his balance in the stirrup without adopting an incorrect posture. In contrast to conventional suspension, the pendulum movement of the stirrup is oriented parallel to the longitudinal direction of the saddle, which prevents spreading of the legs. In addition, the knee blocks can completely are omitted, which on the one hand simplifies the construction of the saddle and on the other hand gives the rider greater freedom of movement.

Die Befestigungspunkte am Sattel liegen vorzugsweise etwa auf der gleichen horizontalen Ebene. Dabei ist der bezogen auf die Sattellängsrichtung hintere Befestigungspunkt vorzugs­weise etwas tiefer als der vordere Befestigungspunkt, nämlich an der tiefsten Stelle des Sattelbaums angeordnet. In bestimmten Spezialfällen wäre es aber auch denkbar, die Befe­stigungspunkte auf völlig verschiedenen Ebenen anzuordnen, beispielsweise um damit die Pendelbewegung in einer Richtung zu begrenzen.The attachment points on the saddle are preferably approximately on the same horizontal plane. The attachment point, which is at the rear in relation to the longitudinal direction of the saddle, is preferably arranged somewhat lower than the attachment point at the front, namely at the lowest point of the saddle tree. In certain special cases, however, it would also be conceivable to arrange the fastening points on completely different levels, for example in order to limit the pendulum movement in one direction.

Um die Lage der Steigbügelriemen den individuellen Bedürfnis­sen anzupassen, können am Sattel mehr als zwei Befestigungs­punkte vorgesehen sein, wobei der Steigbügelriemen wahlweise an zwei gewünschten Befestigungspunkten fixierbar ist. Die Länge der V-förmigen Schlaufe ist vorzugsweise mit einer Schnalle verstellbar.In order to adapt the position of the stirrup leathers to individual needs, more than two fastening points can be provided on the saddle, the stirrup leathers optionally being fixable at two desired fastening points. The length of the V-shaped loop is preferably adjustable with a buckle.

Die einzige Figur zeigt die Seitenansicht eines erfindungsge­mässen Sattels. Der Sattel 1 besteht im wesentlichen aus dem Sattelbaum 7 und der darüber liegenden gepolsterten Sitzflä­che 11 mit den Sattelblättern 8 auf beiden Seiten, von denen hier nur eines sichtbar ist. Der Sattelriemen 2 ist als etwa V-förmige Schlaufe ausgebildet, die am vorderen Befestigungs­punkt 3 und am hinteren Befestigungspunkt 4 kraftschlüssig am Sattelbaum 7 befestigt ist. Die eigentlichen Befestigungs­punkte werden durch das anhebbare obere Sattelblatt 9 ver­deckt. Die Befestigungspunkte können auf an sich bekannte Weise Schnallen oder Oesen sein, wobei z.B. der vordere Befe­stigungspunkt 3 als Sturzfeder ausgebildet sein kann.The single figure shows the side view of a saddle according to the invention. The saddle 1 consists essentially of the saddle tree 7 and the padded seat surface 11 with the saddle blades 8 on both sides, only one of which is visible here. The saddle strap 2 is designed as an approximately V-shaped loop, which is non-positively attached to the saddle tree 7 at the front attachment point 3 and at the rear attachment point 4. The actual attachment points are covered by the upper saddle blade 9 which can be raised. The attachment points can be buckles or eyelets in a manner known per se, e.g. the front attachment point 3 can be designed as a spring.

Im tiefsten Punkt der V-förmigen Schlaufe ist der Steigbügel 5 frei beweglich in der Steigbügelöse 6 aufgehängt. Die Gesamtlänge des Steigbügelriemens und damit die Distanz zwi­schen Steigbügel 5 und Sitzfläche 11 lässt sich an einer Schnalle 10 einstellen.In the lowest point of the V-shaped loop, the stirrup 5 is freely movable in the stirrup eyelet 6. The The total length of the stirrup leathers and thus the distance between stirrups 5 and seat surface 11 can be adjusted using a buckle 10.

Zwischen den Befestigungspunkten 3 bzw. 4 und der Steigbügel­öse 6 wird ersichtlicherweise ein Polygonzug A, B, C gebil­det, der ein spitzwinkliges Dreieck einschliesst. In der Figur ist der Steigbügel 5 in einer normalen Gleichgewichts­lage gezeigt, wobei mit der vertikalen Linie 12 die Schwere­linie angedeutet ist, auf der Schulter, Hüfte und Absatz liegen sollten. Durch strichpunktierte Linien sind alterna­tive Steigbügelpositionen angedeutet, wobei sich die tiefsten Punkte des Steigbügelriemens bei C′ und bei C˝ befinden. Ersichtlicherweise verändern sich bei den verschiedenen Posi­tionen die Distanzen zwischen A und C bzw. zwischen B und C.Between the attachment points 3 and 4 and the stirrup eyelet 6, a polygon A, B, C is evidently formed, which includes an acute-angled triangle. In the figure, the stirrup 5 is shown in a normal equilibrium position, the vertical line 12 indicating the line of gravity on which shoulders, hips and heels should lie. Alternate stirrup positions are indicated by dash-dotted lines, the lowest points of the stirrup strap being at C ′ and at C˝. Obviously, the distances between A and C or between B and C change at the different positions.

Der Steigbügel 5 kann beispielsweise bei einem Sprung über ein Hindernis zunächst die Position C˝ einnehmen, wobei der vordere Befestigungspunkt 3 zunächst angehoben wird, der Steigbügel jedoch infolge der Schwerkraft bestrebt ist, im tiefsten Punkt der V-förmigen Schlaufe zu bleiben. Beim Auf­setzen neigt sich der vordere Befestigungspunkt 3 nach unten, wobei der Steigbügel aus den gleichen Gründen die Position C′ einnimmt.The stirrup 5 can, for example, first take the position C bei when jumping over an obstacle, the front attachment point 3 being raised first, but the stirrup, due to gravity, tends to remain in the lowest point of the V-shaped loop. When putting on the front attachment point 3 tilts down, the stirrup for the same reasons assumes the position C '.

Aber auch wenn der Reiter in einen labilen Gleichgewichtszu­stand kommt, wird er reflexartig sein Körpergewicht in die Steigbügel verlagern, wobei diese ebenfalls sofort in den tiefsten Punkt zurückfallen und der Reiter dabei wieder einen stabilen Gleichgewichtszustand erreicht.But even if the rider comes into an unstable equilibrium state, he will reflexively shift his body weight into the stirrups, which also immediately fall back to the lowest point and the rider will again reach a stable equilibrium state.

In der Abbildung ist der Steigbügel 5 zur besseren Darstel­lung in der Querlage gezeigt. Beim Reiten wird der Steigbügel selbstverständlich etwa im rechten Winkel zur Pferdeflanke angeordnet sein. Die erfindungsgemässe Aufhängung hat den Vorteil, dass beim Treiben des Pferdes, d.h. beim leichten Ausdrehen der Fussspitzen, die Unterschenkel des Reiters durch den Steigbügelriemen 2 gegen das Pferd gepresst werden.In the figure, the stirrup 5 is shown in the transverse position for better illustration. When riding, the stirrup will of course be arranged approximately at a right angle to the horse flank. The suspension according to the invention has the advantage that when driving the horse, ie when light Unscrew the tips of the feet, the rider's lower legs are pressed against the horse by the stirrup leathers 2.
