Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Satteldecke mit den im Oberbegriff des angegebenen Merkmalen und einen Reitsattel mit den im Oberbegriff des Anspruches 2 angegebenen Merkmalen.The invention relates to a saddlecloth with the in the preamble of the specified features and a riding saddle with the features specified in the preamble of claim 2.

Satteldecken werden unter den Reitsattel gelegt. Sie dienen u.a. dazu, einen direkten Kontakt des Sattelleders mit dem Pferdekörper zu verhindern. Zur Befestigung am Sattel haben die herkömmlichen Satteldecken an ihrem unteren Rand angebrachte Schlaufen zum Durchstecken des Sattelgurts und/oder seitliche, am vorderen Rand angebrachte Schlaufen zum Durchstecken der Gurtstrippen des Reitsattels.Saddlecloths are placed under the riding saddle. You serve et al In addition, a direct contact of the saddle leather with the To prevent horse body. Have for attachment to the saddle the conventional saddlecloth attached to its lower edge Loops for pushing the saddle belt through and / or side loops on the front edge for Pushing through the straps of the saddle.

Da die Satteldecken für die verschiedensten Größen von Reitsätteln geeignet sein müssen, sind die Schlaufen entsprechend groß dimensioniert. Dadurch kann die Satteldecke auch bei sehr sorgfältigem Aufsatteln des Pferdes beim Reiten leicht verrutschen oder Falten bilden. Beides führt sehr schnell zu Druckstellen am Pferderücken, dem sog. Satteldruck. Durch die Rückentätigkeit des Pferdes, der der Reitsattel infolge seiner sehr beschränkten Elastizität und des Reitergewichtes nur äußerst unvollkommen zu folgen vermag, wird die Satteldecke auch nach unten gezogen, das heißt über den Widerrist des Pferdes gespannt und scheuert. Dies führt häufig zu schmerzhaften Entzündungen, oft sogar zu offenen Wunden am Widerrist. Das Pferd braucht in beiden Fällen medizinische Versorgung und ist längere Zeit nicht reitbar. Since the saddlecloths for different sizes of The loops are suitable for riding saddles large size. This allows the saddlecloth even if the horse is saddled very carefully Riding slips easily or wrinkles. Both lead very quickly to pressure points on the horse's back, the so-called Saddle pressure. Due to the back activity of the horse, the Riding saddle due to its very limited elasticity and to follow the rider's weight extremely imperfectly is able to pull down the saddlecloth, that means stretched and chafed over the withers of the horse. This often leads to painful inflammation, often even open wounds on the withers. The horse needs in both Cases of medical care and is not for a long time rideable.

Aus der DE 28 21 475 A sind eine Satteldecke und ein Reitsattel mit den Merkmalen der Oberbegriffe der Ansprüche 1 bzw. 2 bekannt. Nach diesem Vorschlag werden die Satteldecke und der Sattel durch einen Haftstoff und einen Gegenhaftstoff rutschfest miteinander verbunden uzw. optional auch im Bereich der sogenannten Kammer des Sattels. Das hat den Nachteil, daß die bei der oben behandelten, ansonsten üblichen Befestigung der Satteldecke unter dem Sattel gegebene Verschiebbarkeit des Sattels relativ zu der Satteldecke aufgehoben ist. Das bedeutet, daß die unvermeidbare Relativbewegung zwischen dem durch das Reitergewicht belasteten Sattel und dem Pferdekörper zwischen der Unterseite der Satteldecke und dem Fell des Pferdes stattfindet uzw. in Form einer scheuernden Bewegung. Diese mit großem Druck stattfindende Scheuerbewegung veranlaßt das Pferd dazu, die betreffenden Muskeln zu verkrampfen. Das Pferd geht und springt dann nicht mehr "losgelassen". Die beanspruchten Hautstellen reagieren auf die Dauer mit Entzündungen.DE 28 21 475 A discloses a saddlecloth and a riding saddle with the features of the preambles of claims 1 or 2 known. Following this suggestion, the saddlecloth and the saddle by an adhesive and a counter-adhesive non-slip connected together optional also in the area of the so-called chamber of the saddle. That has the disadvantage that the otherwise discussed in the above Given the usual attachment of the saddlecloth under the saddle Slidability of the saddle relative to the saddlecloth is canceled. That means the inevitable Relative movement between that loaded by the rider weight Saddle and the horse's body between the bottom the saddlecloth and the fur of the horse takes place etc. in the form of an abrasive movement. This with great pressure the scrubbing movement taking place causes the horse to to tighten the muscles concerned. The horse goes and then no longer jumps "released". The claimed Skin areas react with inflammation in the long run.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine verbesserte Befestigung der Satteldecke unter dem Sattel zu schaffen, ohne eine Relativbewegung zwischen Sattel und Satteldecke zu verhindern.The invention has for its object an improved To attach the saddlecloth under the saddle to create without a relative movement between saddle and saddlecloth to prevent.

Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß mit den in den kennzeichnenden Teilen der Ansprüche 1 und 2 angegebenen Merkmalen gelöst.This object is according to the invention in the characterizing Parts of claims 1 and 2 specified features solved.

Die Erfindung erstreckt sich auch auf die Kombination eines Sattels mit einer Satteldecke, die an dem Sattel über mindestens einen Klettverschluß befestigt ist, der die Scheitellinie der Satteldecke mit der Scheitellinie der Sattelkammer des Sattels verbindet.The invention also extends to the combination of one Saddles with a saddlecloth that are attached to the saddle at least a Velcro fastener is attached to the apex line the saddlecloth with the apex line of the saddle compartment of the saddle connects.

Fig. 1 zeigt einen Reitsattel 20 mit seiner Sitzfläche 22 zwischen Vorderzwiesel 24 und Hinterzwiesel 26, den Sattelblättern 28 und unter diesen angeordnete Sattelpauschen 30, Polsterungen 33 an den Sattelpauschen 30 und Polsterungen 32, die sich vom Vorderzwiesel 24 bis zum Hinterzwiesel 26 erstrecken und zwischen sich eine Sattelkammer 34 begrenzen. Unter den Sattelblättern 28 befinden sich Gurtstrippen 36. Die Polsterungen 32 des Sattels liegen beidseits der Wirbelsäule auf dem Pferderücken auf und verhindern einen Kontakt des Sattels mit den Dornfortsätzen der Wirbelsäule des Pferdes. Im Scheitel der Sattelkammer 34 des Sattels 20 ist der eine Teil 18.2 eine zweiteiligen Klettverschlusses 18 angebracht, z.B. angenäht oder geklebt. Dieser Klettverschlußteil 18.2, z.B. in Form eines Bandes, reicht vorzugsweise vom Vorderzwiesel 24 bis zum Hinterzwiesel 26 des Sattels 20.1 shows a riding saddle 20 with its seat 22 between front 24 and rear 26, the saddle blades 28 and saddle blocks 30 arranged underneath them, Padding 33 on the saddle pads 30 and padding 32, which extend from the front peas 24 to the rear peas 26 extend and define a saddle chamber 34 between them. Belt straps 36 are located under the saddle blades 28. The padding 32 of the saddle lies on both sides of the spine on horseback and prevent contact of the saddle with the spinous processes of the spine of the horse. In the apex of the saddle chamber 34 of the saddle 20 is the a part 18.2 attached a two-part Velcro fastener 18, e.g. sewn or glued. This Velcro part 18.2, e.g. in the form of a ribbon, is preferably sufficient from the front pus 24 to the rear pus 26 of the saddle 20th

Unter dem Sattel 20 ist eine Satteldecke 10 mit Seitenteilen 12 dargestellt, an deren vorderem Rand Schlaufen 14 und an deren unterem Rand Gurtschlaufen 16 angeordnet sind. Längs der Mittellinie 17 ist das andere Klettverschlußteil 18.1 des Klettverschlusses 18 angebracht, vorzugsweise angenäht oder aufgeklebt, vgl. auch die Aufsicht in Fig. 2. Under the saddle 20 is a saddle cover 10 with side parts 12 shown, loops 14 and at the front edge whose lower edge belt loops 16 are arranged. Along the center line 17 is the other Velcro part 18.1 the Velcro 18 attached, preferably sewn or glued on, cf. also the supervision in FIG. 2.

Zur Befestigung der Satteldecke 10 an dem Sattel 20 wird die Satteldecke 10 in Richtung des Pfeiles A in Fig. 1 zwischen den Pauschen 30 des Sattels 20 nach oben geschoben und die beiden Klettverschlußteile 18.1 und 18.2 werden über ihre gesamte Länge aneinandergedrückt. Damit ist eine feste und rutschsichere Verbindung zwischen Satteldecke 10 und Sattel 20 hergestellt. Selbst bei Anwendung nur geringer Sorgfalt ist dabei die Bildung einer Falte in der Satteldecke so gut wie ausgeschlossen.To attach the saddlecloth 10 to the saddle 20, the Saddlecloth 10 in the direction of arrow A in Fig. 1 between the pommel 30 of the saddle 20 pushed up and the both Velcro parts 18.1 and 18.2 are over their entire length pressed together. So that is a fixed and non-slip connection between saddle cover 10 and saddle 20 manufactured. Even with little care the formation of a fold in the saddlecloth is so good how excluded.

Weil auf diese Weise die Satteldecke stets längs ihrer Mittellinie 17 mit der Scheitellinie der Sattelkammer 34 verbunden bleibt, ist gewährleistet, daß zwischen der Oberlinie des Pferderückens, angedeutet durch die strichpunktierte Linie 50 in Fig. 3, und der Unterseite der Satteldecke 10 im Bereich der Wirbelsäule des Pferdes der aus physiologischen Gründen von jeher angestrebte, kanalartige Hohlraum 52 verbleibt, durch den die Luft zirkulieren kann. Die Satteldecke kann des weiteren nicht verrutschen und keine Falten bilden oder nach unten ziehen und auf dem Widerrist des Pferdes scheuern.Because in this way the saddlecloth always runs along it Center line 17 with the apex line of the saddle chamber 34 remains connected, it is ensured that between the topline of the horse's back, indicated by the dash-dotted line Line 50 in Fig. 3, and the underside of the saddlecloth 10 in the area of the spine of the horse physiological reasons always sought, channel-like Cavity 52 remains through which the air can circulate. Furthermore, the saddlecloth cannot slip and no wrinkles or pull down and on the Scrub the withers of the horse.

Grundsätzlich kann sogar auf die konventionellen Verbindungsmittel, also die seitlichen Schlaufen 14 und/oder die Gurtschlaufen 16, verzichtet werden. Allerdings hat die Ausstattung der Satteldecke 10 mit diesen Schlaufen den zusätzlichen Vorteil, daß die Seitenteile 12 der Satteldecke 10 nach dem Abnehmen des Sattels vom Pferd nicht aufeinander zusammenfallen, wodurch sich das Ablegen des Sattels auf einem Sattelbock leichter gestaltet.Basically, even conventional lanyards, thus the side loops 14 and / or the Belt loops 16 to be dispensed with. However, the Equipment of the saddlecloth 10 with these loops additional advantage that the side parts 12 of the saddlecloth 10 after removing the saddle from the horse collapse, causing the saddle to drop down a trestle made lighter.

Statt der üblichen, seitlichen Schlaufen 10 kann die Satteldecke 10 jedoch mit je einem weiteren Klettverschluß 40 auf der Außenseite jedes Seitenteils 12 versehen sein, wie in Fig. 1 in gestrichelten Linien angedeutet. Diese weiteren Klettverschlüsse 40 bestehen wie üblich ebenfalls aus je einem Klettverschlußstück 40.1 auf dem betreffenden Seitenteil 12 und dem Gegenstück 40.2 auf der Innenseite der Sattelpauschen 30 bzw. des Sattelblatts 28. Die Befestigung kann wie im Fall des Klettverschlusses 18 erfolgen, also vorzugsweise durch Annähen und/oder durch Ankleben.Instead of the usual side loops 10, the saddlecloth can 10, however, each with a further Velcro fastener 40 the outside of each side part 12, as in Fig. 1 indicated in dashed lines. These others As usual, Velcro fasteners 40 also consist of each a Velcro piece 40.1 on the relevant side part 12 and the counterpart 40.2 on the inside of the Saddle blocks 30 or the saddle sheet 28. The attachment can be done as in the case of the Velcro 18 preferably by sewing and / or by gluing.
