Abstract

A horse-riding saddle protecting device that also facilitates its carriage and storage is disclosed. It is intended to protect parts of a horse-riding saddle, namely the pommel and the cantle, most exposed to wear and tear when manipulated, transported in a van, or placed on the ground and to facilitate the carriage and storage of the said saddle. It is characterised in that it comprises a first member (1) in the shape of a clamping jaw being received by the cantle part of a U-shaped sheath curved inwards like a gutter, or in a semi-circle open horizontally towards the cantle and with a curve matching the profile of the said cantle, and a second member (2) also in the shape of a narrow, deep clamping jaw to grip with its rear-oriented opening the pommel part of the saddle. These two elements (1, 2) are provided with means on the side opposite to their jaws for passing and linking the lengthwise adjustable strap (3) so that the said strap maintains the two elements (1, 2) opposite each other on the saddle. The two elements (1, 2) are made of a semi-rigid material such as plastic, rubber, resin.

Figures 20,21 :vues de profil et de dessus d'un deuxième mode de réalisation du deuxième élément En référence à ces dessins le dispositif selon un mode de réalisation non limitatif comprend: un premier élément 1 figure 2-3-4-5 qui se compose d'une gouttière 9 avec au centre un léger plat 12 elle a pour but d'épouser le troussequin 5 figure 1 d'une selle d'équitation, selon le modèle, la courbe et la largeur dudit troussequin, les extrémités externes de la gouttière sont pourvues de rainures 13 afin de faciliter l'ouverture de la courbe en forme de croissant de lune de la gouttière 9; sur la partie inférieure se trouve une fente 1 1 pour laisser le passage à une sangle 3 figure 1 pour relier et fixer tous les élément sur la selle, transversalement par rapport à la gouttière, sous la partie inférieure et du côté interne se projette une partie en saillie 10 avec un léger arrondi transversal sur la partie supérieure, ladite saillie vient s'appliquer sous le troussequin en direction du dessous du siège 7 figure I ; sous la partie inférieure de cette saillie se trouve une fente 14 pour laisser le passage à la sangleFigures 20,21: side and top views of a second embodiment of the second element With reference to these drawings, the device according to a non-limiting embodiment comprises: a first element 1 figure 2-3-4-5 which consists of a gutter 9 with in the center a light dish 12 it aims to marry the cantle 5 figure 1 of a riding saddle, depending on the model, the curve and the width of said cantle, the outer ends of the gutter are provided with grooves 13 in order to facilitate the opening of the crescent-shaped curve of the gutter 9; on the lower part is a slot 1 1 to let the passage to a strap 3 figure 1 to connect and fix all the elements on the saddle, transversely compared to the gutter, under the lower part and on the internal side projects a part protruding 10 with a slight transverse rounding on the upper part, said protrusion is applied under the cantle in the direction of the underside of the seat 7 Figure I; under the lower part of this projection is a slot 14 to allow passage to the strap
Le deuxième élément 2 comme le montre les figures 6-7-8-9-10 comporte - une mâchoire supérieure 15 avec sa partie inférieure légèrement concave dans le sens longitudinal et dans le sens transversal comme cela apparait clairement en figure 10, sur sa partie supérieure se trouve une fente 20 figure 6-7-9- 10 qui a pour but de laisser le passage à la sangle 3,- et une mâchoire inférieure 16; ces deux mâchoires, par l'ouverture 28 qu'elles définissent, ont pour but d'épouser le pommeau 6 figure 1 de la selle, en arrière de la fermeture de ces mâchoires, se trouve une fente 19 orientée verticalement, ayant pour but de laisser le passage à la sangle 3, cet élément se continue par un sabot 17 ici prévu plat sur lequel se trouve dans ce cas latéralement proche de son extrémité 21 au moins deux entailles 18 périphériques, l'extrémité du sabot 21 de forme plate destine à prendre appui au sol, les rainures plus ou moins écartées avec une inclinaison par rapport au plat de l'extrémité 21 , du côté de la face inférieure du sabot, ont pour but de pouvoir, dans la gorge de la rainure, scier en rondelle l'extrémité du sabot afin de donner une autre inclinaison à l'élément 2 lors de sa pose au sol sur son plat, ceci permet de pouvoir l'adapter sur des modèles de selles différents. Dans le cas d'une face d'extrémité présentant une courbure dans le sens longitudinal, ces rainures sont superflues, l'appui s'efifectuant quelque soit l'inclinaison prise selon la ligne de tangence entre la surface courbe et le sol.The second element 2 as shown in FIGS. 6-7-8-9-10 comprises - an upper jaw 15 with its lower part slightly concave in the longitudinal direction and in the transverse direction as it appears clearly in FIG. 10, on its part upper is a slot 20 Figure 6-7-9-10 which is intended to allow passage to the strap 3, - and a lower jaw 16; these two jaws, by the opening 28 which they define, have the purpose of marrying the pommel 6 in Figure 1 of the saddle, behind the closing of these jaws, there is a slot 19 oriented vertically, having the purpose of leave the passage to the strap 3, this element is continued by a shoe 17 here provided flat on which is in this case laterally close to its end 21 at least two notches 18 peripheral, the end of the shoe 21 of flat shape intended for lean on the ground, the grooves more or less apart with an inclination relative to the flat of the end 21, on the side of the underside of the shoe, are intended to be able, in the groove of the groove, to saw in a washer l end of the shoe in order to give another inclination to the element 2 when it is placed on the ground on its dish, this makes it possible to be able to adapt it to different saddle models.
