The middle layer (12) consists of one or more knitted fabrics permeable to air and water. At least parts of the middle layer have a bottom (13) and a top (14) layer of knitted fabric with intermediate layer removable through a slit fastened by a sliding clasp fastener, in the top and middle layers. The top layer (16) made of woven water-tight fabric may incorporate parts which are permeable to air and water, for air ventilation. The saddle cover has an edging seam (17) joining the layers (11,13,14,16).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Satteldecke aus mehreren Lagen, wobei die dem Pferderücken zugewandten Lagen wasser- und luftdurchlässig und die Oberschicht weitgehend wasserundurchlässig sind. Derartige Satteldecken dienen dazu, den Rücken eines Reittieres, insbesondere eines Pferdes, abzudecken. Üblicherweise dient die Satteldecke als Zwischenlage zwischen Pferd und aufliegendem Sattel.The invention relates to a saddlecloth made of several layers, the Layers facing the horse's back are permeable to water and air and the Upper layer are largely impermeable to water. Such saddlecloths serve the back of a mount, especially one Horse to cover. Usually the saddlecloth serves as an intermediate layer between horse and saddle.

Bisherige Satteldecken bestehen aus einlagigen oder mehrlagigen Geweben oder Filz. Bei höherer Belastung, insbesondere im Military- und Distanzreitsport, kann es unter den herkömmlichen Satteldecken einen Hitzestau oder eine verstärkte Schweißbildung geben. Dadurch kann es zu einer Beeinträchtigung der Leistungsfähigkeit des Pferdes kommen, wie z.B. durch Dehydrierung und durch Auswirkungen des Satteldrucks.Previous saddlecloths consisted of single-layer or multi-layer fabrics or felt. At higher loads, especially in the military and Endurance riding, it can be one of the conventional saddlecloths Heat build-up or increased sweating. It can the horse's performance is impaired, such as. through dehydration and through the effects of saddle pressure.

Bekannte Satteldecken zeigen auch einen mehrschichtigen Aufbau, wobei die oberste Schicht aus einem wasserundurchlässigen Material besteht. Die zum Pferderücken liegenden Schichten bestehen jedoch aus schweißaufsaugendem Material. Schweißaufsaugende Textilien haben den Nachteil, den gebildeten Schweiß nicht nur aufzusaugen, sondern auch zu speichern. Sobald das Gewebe vollgesogen ist, hört die schweißabsaugende Wirkung weitgehend auf und die Verdunstung wird stark behindert.Known saddlecloths also show a multilayer structure, whereby the top layer is made of a waterproof material. However, the layers lying on horseback consist of sweat-absorbent Material. Sweat-absorbent textiles have that Disadvantage of not only absorbing the sweat formed, but also save. As soon as the tissue is soaked, the sweat-absorbing stops Largely affect and the evaporation becomes strong with special needs.

Die US-A-4695496 zeigt einen mehrlagigen Aufbau einer Satteldecke mit einer saugfähigen mittleren Schaumstoffschicht und einer schweißabsaugenden Unterschicht, die den Schweiß vom Pferderücken absaugen soll. Auch hierbei wird der Schweißabfluß behindert, sodaß die diesbezügliche Wirkung der Satteldecke nach kurzer Benutzungszeit stark eingeschränkt ist. Die US-A-4974397 zeigt die Anordnung von saugfähigen Schaumstoff- und Filzschichten, die ebenfalls die oben genannten Nachteile aufweisen.US-A-4695496 shows a multi-layer structure of a saddlecloth an absorbent middle foam layer and a sweat-wicking Bottom layer that sucks the sweat off the horse's back should. Here, too, the sweat discharge is hindered, so that the related Effect of the saddlecloth severely limited after a short period of use is. US-A-4974397 shows the arrangement of absorbent Foam and felt layers, which are also the above Have disadvantages.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, die beschriebenen Nachteile zu vermeiden. Es soll eine Satteldecke vorgesehen werden, die den Schweiß nicht aufsaugt, sondern den ungehinderten Schweißabfluß und eine bessere Ventilation erlaubt, sodaß die vom Pferdekörper erhitzte Luft und Schweiß vom Pferdekörper abgeleitet und nach außen aus der Satteldecke geführt werden. Trotzdem soll die Satteldecke an der Außenseite möglichst trocken bleiben.The object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages described to avoid. A saddlecloth should be provided, which the Sweat does not absorb, but the unhindered sweat discharge and better ventilation allowed, so that the heated by the horse's body Air and sweat derived from the horse's body and outwards from the Saddlecloth are guided. Nevertheless, the saddlecloth should Stay dry on the outside.

Die erfindungsgemäße Satteldecke ist in erster Linie dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß sie vom Pferderücken ausgehend folgenden Lagenaufbau aufweist:

  • a) Unterschicht aus hautfreundlichem Abstandsgewirke mit hoher Luft- und Wasserdurchlässigkeit,
  • b) Mittelschicht aus einer oder mehreren Lagen Abstandsgewirke mit hoher Luft- und Wasserdurchlässigkeit, und
  • c) Oberschicht aus weitgehend wasserundurchlässigem Gewebe.
    • The saddlecloth according to the invention is primarily characterized in that it has the following layer structure starting from the horse's back:
  • a) bottom layer of skin-friendly spacer fabric with high air and water permeability,
  • b) middle layer of one or more layers of spacer fabrics with high air and water permeability, and
  • c) Upper layer of largely water-impermeable fabric.

    • Weitere Merkmale der Erfindung sind den Patentansprüchen, der nachfolgenden Beschreibung und den Zeichnungen zu entnehmen.Further features of the invention are the claims below Description and drawings can be found.

    Im nachfolgenden wird die Erfindung anhand eines Ausführungsbeispieles in den Figuren 1 bis 4 beschrieben.In the following, the invention is based on an exemplary embodiment described in Figures 1 to 4.

    Fig. 1 zeigt die Aufsicht auf eine erfindungsgemäße Satteldecke von oben. Die Fig. 2 ist eine Aufsicht auf eine Einlage für die Satteldecke nach Fig. 1. Die Figuren 3 und 4 sind Schnittdarstellungen nach den Linien III-III und IV-IV in Fig. 1. Fig. 1 shows the top view of a saddlecloth according to the invention from above. 2 is a top view of an insert for the saddlecloth according to Fig. 1. Figures 3 and 4 are sectional views according to lines III-III and IV-IV in FIG. 1.

    Die Satteldecke nach Fig. 1 ist so aufgebaut, daß die Mittellinie 1 entlang der Wirbelsäule des Pferdes zu liegen kommt. Die beiden Flügel 2 erstrecken sich zu beiden Seiten des Pferderückens und hängen mit ihren Enden 3 nach unten. Das hintere Ende 4 ist schmäler ausgebildet als das vordere Kopfende 5. Die Satteldecke ist außen von einer Randnaht 17 eingefaßt. 1 is constructed so that the center line 1 comes to rest along the horse's spine. The two wings 2 extend to both sides of the horse's back and hang with it their ends 3 down. The rear end 4 is narrower than the front head end 5. The saddlecloth is outside of an edge seam 17 bordered.

    Die Flügel 2 bestehen an ihrer oberen Seite zum größten Teil aus wasserundurchlässigem Gewebe, welches den Schweiß vom Pferd zum Sattel oder zum Reiter nicht durchläßt und auch etwaige Feuchtigkeit von oben zum Pferd abhält. Die Enden 3 können an ihrer Oberfläche verschleißfesteres Material wie z.B. Leder aufweisen.The wings 2 largely consist of their upper side waterproof fabric that sweat from horse to saddle or does not let through to the rider and any moisture from above on horseback. The ends 3 can be more wear-resistant on their surface Material such as Have leather.

    Bevorzugt weist die Oberschicht abschnittweise Abstandsgewirke mit hoher Luft und Wasserdurchlässigkeit zur Luftventilation auf. In der Ausführung nach Fig. 1 kann man eine hintere Ventilfläche 6, eine mittlere Ventilfläche 7 und eine vordere Ventilfläche 8 ersehen. Diese Ventilflächen zeichnen sich durch eine hohe Luftdurchlässigkeit aus, sodaß erwärmte Luft und Schweiß durch diese Ventilflächen leicht nach außen abgeführt werden können.The upper layer preferably has spacer knitted fabrics in sections high air and water permeability for air ventilation. In the 1 can be a rear valve surface 6, a see middle valve surface 7 and a front valve surface 8. This Valve surfaces are characterized by high air permeability, so that heated air and sweat easily re-pass through these valve surfaces can be discharged outside.

    Entlang der Mittellinie 1 ist die Satteldecke oben der Länge nach geschlitzt und dieser Schlitz 9 ist z.B. mittels eines Reißverschlusses 10 verschließbar.The saddlecloth is slit lengthways along the center line 1 and this slot 9 is e.g. with a zipper 10 closable.

    Anhand der Fig. 3 wird der lagenweise Aufbau der erfindungsgemäßen Satteldecke beschrieben. Die Fig. 3 entspricht einem Schnitt nach der Linie III-III in Fig. 1, also durch den Randbereich. Die Schnittdarstellung ist rein schematisch und berücksichtigt nicht, daß durch die Randnaht das Material der einzelnen Schichten stark zusammengepreßt wird.3 shows the layered structure of the invention Saddlecloth described. 3 corresponds to a section according to the Line III-III in Fig. 1, that is, through the edge region. The sectional view is purely schematic and does not take into account that by the Edge material, the material of the individual layers strongly compressed becomes.

    Die Unterschicht 11 besteht aus einem hautfreundlichen Abstandsgewirke mit hoher Luft- und Wasserdurchlässigkeit. Diese Unterschicht steht in direktem Kontakt mit dem Fell des Reittieres und hat die Eigenschaft, die gebildete warme Luft und den Schweiß unmittelbar vom Pferdekörper wegzuziehen und nach oben zu den anderen Lagen, die die Mittelschicht 12 bilden, weiterzuleiten. Die Mittelschicht 12 ist in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel durch zwei Lagen Abstandsgewirke gebildet, nämlich durch eine untere Mittelschicht 13 und die obere Mittelschicht 14. Beide Teile der Mittelschicht liegen direkt aufeinander. Der Zwischenraum 15 soll illustrieren, daß die beiden Schichten 13 und 14 nicht flächig miteinander verbunden sind, sodaß nach einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel eine Einlageschicht eingelegt werden kann.The lower layer 11 consists of a skin-friendly spacer fabric with high air and water permeability. This lower class is in direct contact with the fur of the mount and has the property the warm air formed and the sweat directly from the horse's body pull away and up to the other layers that are the middle class 12 form to forward. The middle layer 12 is in this embodiment formed by two layers of spacer fabrics, namely through a lower middle layer 13 and the upper middle layer 14. Both parts of the middle class lie directly on top of each other. The gap 15 is to illustrate that the two layers 13 and 14 are not are connected to one another over a large area, so that according to a further exemplary embodiment an insert layer can be inserted.

    Die untere Mittelschicht 13 ist bevorzugt aus dickerem Abstandsgewirke gebildet, als die obere Mittelschicht 14.The lower middle layer 13 is preferably made of thicker spacer fabrics formed as the upper middle layer 14.

    Nach oben (also zum Sattel hin) wird die Satteldecke von der Oberschicht 16 abgeschlossen, die aus weitgehend wasserundurchlässigem Gewebe besteht. Im Bereich der Ventilflächen 6 bis 8 kann die Oberschicht 16 durch ein Abstandsgewirke gebildet sein, um den Austritt der erwärmten Luft und der Feuchtigkeit zu erleichtern.The saddlecloth is facing upwards (i.e. towards the saddle) from the upper layer 16 completed, which is largely impermeable Tissue. The upper layer can be in the area of the valve surfaces 6 to 8 16 may be formed by a knitted spacer around the outlet the heated air and humidity.

    Der Schweiß kann relativ ungehindert abrinnen, da durch die Satteldecke ein Raum zwischen der Oberschicht 16 und dem Pferdefell ausgebildet wird, der dem Schweißabluß nur geringen Widerstand entgegensetzt und auch Luft zirkulieren läßt.The sweat can run off relatively freely because of the saddlecloth a space is formed between the upper layer 16 and the horse skin which offers little resistance to welding and also circulates air.

    Der größte Teil der Feuchtigkeit rinnt entlang des Pferdekörpers in den Schichten 11 und 12 nach unten. Durch den Ventilationseffekt wird die Feuchtigkeitsbildung noch zusätzlich verringert.Most of the moisture runs in along the horse's body layers 11 and 12 down. Due to the ventilation effect moisture formation is further reduced.

    Am Rande ist die Satteldecke durch die Randnaht 17 vernäht, wobei die Schichten im Nahtbereich zusammengepreßt sind, anders als in Fig. 3 dargestellt ist.At the edge, the saddlecloth is sewn by the edge seam 17, the Layers in the seam area are pressed together, unlike in FIG. 3 is shown.

    In den Zwischenraum 15 kann gewünschtenfalls eine Einlage 18 angeordnet werden, wie sie in Fig. 2 in Aufsicht dargestellt ist. Auch diese Einlageschicht besteht aus wasser-und luftdurchlässigem Abstandsgewirke. Die Einlageschicht ist durch Haftgewebe wie z.B. Klettband 19 zwischen der unteren Mittelschicht 13 und der oberen Mittelschicht 14 fixierbar. Bevorzugt besteht die Einlageschicht im Bereich 20 entlang der Wirbelsäule des Pferdes aus dünnerem Abstandsgewirke und im Bereich 21 zu den Flanken hin aus dickerem Abstandsgewirke oder aus zwei Lagen des dünneren Abstandsgewirkes. Die kreisförmigen Ausschnitte 22 dienen der erhöhten Luftzirkulation direkt vom Pferderücken nach oben zu der Ventilfläche 7. If desired, an insert 18 can be arranged in the intermediate space 15 be, as shown in Fig. 2 in supervision. This too Interlining consists of water and air permeable spacer fabrics. The insert layer is covered by adhesive fabrics such as Velcro tape 19 between the lower middle layer 13 and the upper middle layer 14 fixable. The insert layer preferably exists along area 20 the spine of the horse from thinner spacer fabrics and in the area 21 towards the flanks from thicker spacer fabrics or from two Layers of the thinner spacer fabric. The circular cutouts 22 serve the increased air circulation directly from the horse's back upwards to the valve surface 7.

    Die Einlageschicht 18 kann durch den Schlitz 9 in die Satteldecke eingelegt werden. Durch den Zippverschluß 10 kann der Schlitz 9 geschlossen oder geöffnet werden.The insert layer 18 can through the slot 9 in the saddlecloth be inserted. By the zipper 10, the slot 9th be closed or opened.

    Die Fig. 4 zeigt den Schichtaufbau der Satteldecke mit eingelegter Einlageschicht und bei geöffnetem Zippverschluß. Die Bezugzeichen zu den einzelnen Schichten entsprechen jenen der Fig. 3. Die Einlageschicht 18 umfaßt zu den Flanken hin eine zweite Schicht 23 aus Abstandsgewirke, um in den Flanken dickeres Material vorzusehen.Fig. 4 shows the layer structure of the saddlecloth with inserted Insert layer and with the zipper open. The reference signs to the individual layers correspond to those of FIG. 3. The interlayer 18 comprises a second layer 23 towards the flanks Spacer fabrics to provide thicker material in the flanks.

    Die Oberschicht 16 besteht in dem dargestellten Schnittbereich abschnittweise aus dem luft- und wasserdichten Material 16 und aus der mittleren Ventilfläche 7 aus Abstandsgewirke. Die Naht 24, die die beiden Materialien miteinander verbindet, fixiert auch die obere Mittelschicht 14. Die weiters eingezeichnete Naht 25 verbindet die beiden Schichten der Einlageschicht 18 als Grenze zwischen den Bereichen 20 und 21 der Einlageschicht.The upper layer 16 consists of sections in the cutting region shown from the air and waterproof material 16 and from the middle valve surface 7 from spacer fabrics. The seam 24 that the connecting the two materials together also fixes the upper one Middle layer 14. The further drawn seam 25 connects the two layers of the insert layer 18 as the boundary between the Areas 20 and 21 of the interlayer.

    Die zuvor beschriebenen Abstandsgewirke sind im Handel erhältliche Gewirke, bei denen die gewirkten Oberflächen 26 und 27 (Fig. 3) mit Abstandsstegen 28 verbunden sind. In Fig. 3 sind diese Bezugszeichen bei der unteren Mittelschicht 13 beispielsweise eingezeichnet. Derartige Abstandsgewirke haben keine oder keine beachtenswerte Saugoder Speicherwirkung für Schweiß und erlauben dessen ungehinderten Abfluß und Luftventilation. Eine etwaige haftende Restfeuchte stellt für den Tierrücken keine Belastung dar. Beispiele für derartige Materialien sind die folgenden:

    • Für die Unterschicht 11 das hautfreundliche Abstandsgewirke Gertex 770902. Dieses Gewirke der Gertex Textil GmbH wird auch als Gertex Profil Filetgewirke bezeichnet. Es besteht zu 100 % aus Polyester und hat ein Flächengewicht von 330 g/m2. Bei guter Ventilationswirkung hat es eine sehr geringe Feuchtigkeitsaufnahme und ist genügend scheuerbeständig.
    • Für die untere Mittelschicht 13 das Abstandsgewirke Müllertextil 5875 mit der Stärke von 11 mm.
    • Für die anderen dünneren Abstandsgewirke wie die Schichten 14, 18 oder die Ventilflächen 6, 7, und 8 das Müllertextil 5754 mit der Stärke von 6 mm.
    • Als Material für die wasserundurchlässige Oberschicht 16 hat sich Textilmaterial Cotura als günstig erwiesen, welches ein beschichtetes Gewebe ist.
    The spacer fabrics described above are commercially available fabrics in which the knitted surfaces 26 and 27 (FIG. 3) are connected to spacer webs 28. 3, these reference symbols are drawn in, for example, in the lower middle layer 13. Such spacer fabrics have no or no remarkable suction or storage effect for sweat and allow its unimpeded drainage and air ventilation. Any adhesive residual moisture is not a burden for the animal's back. Examples of such materials are the following:
    • For the lower layer 11, the skin-friendly spacer fabric Gertex 770902. This knitted fabric from Gertex Textil GmbH is also referred to as Gertex profile fillet fabric. It consists of 100% polyester and has a basis weight of 330 g / m 2 . With good ventilation, it has very little moisture absorption and is sufficiently scrubbable.
    • For the lower middle layer 13, the spacer fabric Müllertextil 5875 with a thickness of 11 mm.
    • For the other thinner spacer fabrics such as layers 14, 18 or valve surfaces 6, 7 and 8, the Müllertextil 5754 with a thickness of 6 mm.
    • Textile material Cotura, which is a coated fabric, has proven to be favorable as the material for the water-impermeable upper layer 16.

    Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung können diese Materialien durch gleichwertige ersetzt werden, wenn die notwendige Luftzirkulation und sonstigen Bestimmungsgrößen gleichartig sind.In the context of the present invention, these materials can by equivalent to be replaced if the necessary air circulation and other parameters are similar.
