EP0941658B1 - Mounting aid for riders - Google Patents

Abstract

The arrangement has one or more mechanically, hydraulically, pneumatically or electrically operated platforms (14) mounted in the vicinity of a stables or riding establishment. The arrangement enables a person to mount a tall or restless horse and can be returned to its starting position without the aid of a third party. The arrangement can be electrically actuated to fold inwards which can be performed remotely.

Description

The invention relates to the use of a foldable Plate as a ride-on aid for riders.

From DE-PS 113 441 is an upgrade relief stirrups on stirrups become known, who has the task, small, older or disabled people climbing up to high or to facilitate when riding restless horses enable. This is an extension device suggested which one for everyone normally trained Stirrups can be applied and the immediately removed and closed after use a small one that can be stored in a pocket if necessary Package can be merged.

Such an auxiliary device has been considered impractical felt that the problem mainly from left to right foot, which is now proportional to the higher horseback are swinging must be relocated, in particular the unhooking and stowing the extension after riding Difficulties, especially if it is are restless horses.

In addition, step benches are known in practice, but which must be removed by third parties and - if they are not removed - of course one Become an obstacle.

GB-A 432 686 is a folding seat became known, the swiveling on a arranged from a wall supporting it Rest position in a position of use is foldable, being in the rest position the seat is folded up towards the wall and down in the use position is folded out so that it is about extends parallel to the ground.

DE-A 44 17 471 is an ascent aid, especially for physically Disabled, who in the essentially consists of a chassis, on which a liftable platform is arranged. Although one Facility for the physically handicapped is sensible and appropriate, it can not in the easiest way on everyone Riding arena or used in any riding stable and would be after use also bother.

The invention has for its object a Ride aid for riders to create it for the rider alone makes it possible to set up this ride-on aid or extend, use and - without being natural having to leave the horse - then again to remove. This is the basis of the invention Task becomes through the teaching of the main claim solved, d. H. through the Proposal, one on a holding device Swiveling plate as a ride-on aid to use for riders, whereby this plate against the effect of a Return spring from a rest position or on the one holding the holding device Wall in a parallel to the bottom of a Riding stables or riding arena aligned Use position is foldable. This allows a rider alone to create appropriate help through which he and subsequent riders are not disturbed.

This can be done so that a or more in the area of a riding arena or riding stable mainly on the side boundaries, such as in the area of the gang - mechanically, hydraulically, pneumatically or electrically movable arranged appearance is used, which is the ride-on on tall or restless horses, but in brought back its starting position without the help of third parties can be.

Here, the appearance can be ladder-like be with one or more stages. The ladder can be extended using a pair of scissors or it is possible to choose appropriate levels from the Gang of the riding arena or the wall of a riding stable unfold and use as appearances, being crucial is that regardless of how the appearance trained and achieved, the collapse of the appearance automatically by itself or by the rider himself can be carried out, for example manually with With the help of a cable, in which, for example, a A corresponding locking mechanism for the scissor linkage is resolved to collapse the appearance or the Performs steps or electrically, e.g. B. by means of a Remote control or by, for example, the appearance by gravity or tensile force e.g. B. a spring again is brought back to its original position.

The invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of an appearance which is only shown as an exemplary embodiment. The drawings show in

Fig. 1

the appearance in the folded position and in

Fig. 2

the appearance in the closed position.

In the illustrated embodiment it is assumed that the appearance in the gang a riding stable is used and supplied as a kit will be installed in every gang later can. It is still assumed that that the gang is facing the vertical backwards is inclined.

In a z. B. existing metal body 1 the actual appearance 2 is arranged. in this connection is the appearance, which has an engagement 3, over two Joint axes 4 and 5 on the wall parts 6 and 7 pivoted, the articulation axes 4 and 5 on the appearance made of wood, for example 2 held in corresponding hinges 8 and 9 are. At 10 and 11 stops are recognizable, the one further folding down the appearance 2 over that in FIG. 1 limit the state shown. Farther a gas pressure cylinder engages in the area of the articulation axis 5 14, the other end to the base body is pivotally mounted. It is not recognizable that in the Rear edge 12 a weight is arranged, for example a metal rod or the like

In Fig. 2 the appearance is in the egg-folded Position shown. By engaging 3 the appearance can now be folded down, whereby the weight arranged in the rear edge 12 first strives to the appearance 2 in the vertical position position, i.e. supports the fold-out movement. at a further unfolding movement, which is now against the heavy weight of the arranged in the rear edge 12 Weight must be done, the gas pressure spring 14 loaded. After using appearance 2, this can simply folded back into the vertical position the weight placed on the rear edge endeavors to initiate and support this movement. From the vertical position to the inclined position 2 then leads the gas pressure spring 14 to Step 2 in the closed position.

Claims (9)

1. Use of a plate (2) pivotally arranged on a supporting device (1) as mounting aid for horsemen, and the plate (2) is foldable against the load of a return spring (14) from an idle position out of or on the wall which supports the supporting device (1) into an operational position parallel to the ground of a riding stable or riding place, and the plate (2) is as a step in the area of a riding stable or riding place, predominantly at the outer borders, for example in the area of the outer limits, arranged to be mechanically, hydraulically or electrically movable, thus making it possible to mount high or restless horses.
