Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a safety device for keeping a rider secured to a horse saddle during the ride.
  • the invention is particularly useful for people who wish to learn to ride without risking possible falls, or for those who can ride, but want to avoid the risk of possible falls.
  • the invention is also particularly useful for those who want to ride but are afraid of possible falls in mounting a horse.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a safety device which ensures a safe fastening of the rider to the horse saddle, but, at the same time, is allowed to open and leave the rider free in case of emergency.
  • Another object to be obtained is to keep the rider connected to the saddle in a flexible way, so as to allow natural movements of the rider during the ride.
  • Another object to be obtained is that the device connected to the horse saddle give no trouble to the horse itself and therefore no problems of adaptation of the horse to the device.
  • the device be easy to use and ready to engage and disengage according to the specific requirements and needs.
  • the device according to the invention be very easily connected to the saddle or disconnected therefrom.
  • a safety device for keeping a rider fastened to the horse saddle that, in agreement with content of the first claim, is characterised in that it contains:
  • the support of the winders of the safety belts, which are connected to the band tied around the rider's waist, is fastened to the saddle cantle, in English saddles, both by virtue of its shape, which is complementary to that of the cantle and therefore can be easily coupled to it, and because it is fastened by threaded pins which are part of the saddle and protrude from it or are directly connected to the saddle.
  • the winding/unwinding devices of the safety belts are fastened to the saddle frame by means of supports made directly in the frame or anyway fastened to it.
  • the main object of the device of the invention is to keep the rider mounted in normal riding conditions, at a trot or gallop, allowing anyway the natural classic movements of the rider with respect to the horse saddle.
  • a saddle generally indicated with 1
  • a horse 2 shown in fig.1, by means of usual connections, like girth 3.
  • the safety device of the invention is shown to be formed of a rigid support 20 which is substantially shaped as an arch and reproduces the shape of the edge 110 of cantle 11.
  • Two winders 21 and 22 are provided at the ends of said support, containing safety belts of known kind, such as those for cars, indicated with 210 and 220.
  • the final part of said belts is connected, by means of quick clasping/releasing devices 221 and 211, to the main band or belt 30 which is tied around the rider's waist and closes by means of the safety-catch 31, of the kind used in aeroplanes.
  • band 30 shows also an emergency device, generally indicated with 40, which will described in the following and is intended for opening the band if the horse falls or inclines in a dangerous way with respect to the horizontal.
  • Emergency device 40 is supplied by a power source formed by batteries 51 contained in a box 50, also containing a switch 52, such as a mercury or a gravity switch or equivalent, which changes its state according to the inclination with respect to the horizontal of the box containing it.
  • a switch 52 such as a mercury or a gravity switch or equivalent, which changes its state according to the inclination with respect to the horizontal of the box containing it.
  • support 20 of the safety device is connected to cantle 11 of saddle 1 both by the coupling of groove 23 to edge 110 of cantle 11, and by the connection made by a metal band which in figure 8 is generally indicated with 4 and in figures 3 and 9 is formed of two parts 41 and 42, connected by screws, not shown in the drawing, passing through corresponding couples of holes 44.
  • metal band 4 can be adjusted so that the final part 45 can rest directly on the saddle front, while the other part ends with two threaded pins 46 and 47 (see figure 7) which are inserted in corresponding holes made on support 20.
  • metal strip 4 formed of two parts 41 and 42, is housed in the notch of the saddle which is facing the horse back. While the front 45 rests on saddle pommel 12, the other end of strip 4 is connected to support 20 through threaded pin 49, so that said support couples groove 23 with protrusion 17, provided in the lower portion of the saddle cantle.
  • the emergency device is formed of a hook 41 connected to portion 30a of band 30, which ties the rider's waist, and of a mechanical assembly 42 connected to the other band portion 30b.
  • Hook 41 is provided with a tooth 410 which, as it will be explained, is connected to a corresponding tooth provided on mechanical assembly 42.
  • Mechanical assembly 42 houses an electromagnet 60 which is provided at one end with a shaft 61 and with a support ending with two U-shaped protrusions 420 comprising a profiled plate 43 which is free to rotate around pin 430.
  • Plate 43 is provided with a square 44 that, as it can be appreciate from figure 11, serves as a catch for plate 43 when the emergency device is loaded and ready to function.
  • electromagnet shaft 61 withdraws and sets square 44 free, so that spring 48 is allowed to act on retainer 47 belonging to plate 43 and turn it over, as it can be seen in figures 9 and 10.
  • hook 41 disengages from tooth 46 belonging to cam 45.
  • hook 41 can not get free from cam 45, also because retainer 49, which an be seen both in figure 13 and in the prospective view of figure 10, prevents hook 41 from moving horizontally.
  • hook 41 can only follow the turning over of plate 43 and therefore get free from engagement with said plate.
  • Box 50 can also be positioned on the rider's back and not on the saddle. In this way, also if the rider's back is sharply inclined due to a loss of balance or to any other reason, the switch intervenes and hook 41 opens.
  • the feed switch of electromagnet 60 which is contained in box 50, can be a mercury switch or a gravity switch. Any switch will have to be provided with sensors which are sensitive to the horizontal position and that, beyond a certain inclination, change the state of the switch by passing from conduction to the interruption of the electric circuit.
  • FIG 14 a different embodiment of the safety device of the invention is shown, which in this case is connected to a saddle of the so-called Western kind.
  • the generally wooden saddle frame is shown, and it is evident that in that case winders 21 and 22 are fastened to frame 80 of this Western saddle, each by means of supporting plates indicated with 28 and 29, belonging to a metal strip 81 housed underneath frame 80.
  • the device of the invention is absolutely safe, because it allows also the possibility of a release in emergency conditions which are not foreseeable by the rider, or at least not quickly enough to operate the hand release of catch 31.
