Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of horse riding, in especially accessories for horse riding and more especially that of stirrups.
- the rider dampens the horse's movements with his hips and ankles seated gaits and with his knees and ankles when jumping.
- the rider's only supports being the stirrups. The result that the stability of the rider and the precision of the jump are directly dependent on the quality of these.
- the rigidity of the stirrup allows no shock absorption.
- the work of the ankle is favored by an inclined stirrup grid.
- the ankle works without leg advancement.
- the grid of this type of stirrup always ends up arrive in rigid stop which again makes the stirrup fixed and therefore the mechanism completely inoperative.
- the grid also switches easily forward and backward, which means that the effect provided by the stirrup is the opposite of the desired stabilization effect.
- stirrup is up to 75% heavier than a stirrup conventional non-articulated and therefore requires a certain period of adaptation from the rider.
- stirrups are also more expensive than the stirrups classics.
- the present invention aims to overcome at least some of these disadvantages.
- a stirrup for riding formed by two branches connected to the ends of a support support (grid) of the foot of the rider mounted to pivot around an axis connecting the two branches, characterized by that said support support is also mounted with the ability to move vertical or substantially vertical with respect to said legs of the stirrup.
- This caliper absorbs the main shocks without ever offering rigid resistance.
- the stirrup grid slides vertically without advancing. Stirrup of the present invention thus promotes the inclination of the support support (grid) of the good side and keeps the leg in place.
- the elastic suspension means including is provided with the stirrup of the present invention, absorbs the enormous shocks created by the hitting and landing when jumping.
- Figures 1 to 4 show, by way of nonlimiting example, a mode preferred embodiment of the stirrup 1 according to the present invention.
- the stirrup 1 for riding is formed by two branches 2 connected to the ends of a support support 3 (grid) of the rider's foot mounted to pivot around an axis 8 connecting the two branches 2, said support support 3 also being mounted with the ability to move vertically or substantially vertical with respect to said branches 2 of the stirrup 1.
- the axis 8 can be a material axis, for example, a section rod cylindrical through the support support 3 right through as in the mode of preferred embodiment shown in Figure 1.
- the pivot axis 8 of the support support 3 can also be replaced by a fictitious axis, the support support 3 then being retained on the end plates 5, 6 of the branches 2 of the stirrup 1 by means of lugs cooperating with sites for receiving the lugs arranged, for example, on the side walls of said end plates 5, 6.
- said pins can also be located on the end plates 5, 6, their receiving sites then being directly formed in the support 3.
- the variant comprising the axis 8 material advantageously brings more solidity to the stirrup 1.
- each branch 2 of the stirrup 1 has, at its end 4, at least one end plate 5, 6 comprising an oblong hole or slot 7 extending substantially vertically by relative to said branches 2 and intended to receive a corresponding end of the support support 3 or one end of an axis 8 passing through and bringing to pivoting said support support 3.
- This oblong hole or slot 7 allows vertical displacement or substantially vertical of the axis 8 of the support support 3 relative to the branches 2 of the stirrup 1.
- the movement of said axis 8 is also controlled in its race inside the hole oblong or slot 7, thereby bringing stability and comfort to the rider during the race of his mount and especially at the reception of his jumps.
- each branch 2 has at its end 4 two end plates 5, 6 each comprising an oblong hole or slot 7 extending substantially vertically with respect to said branch 2, said holes being aligned with each other and intended to receive a corresponding end of the support support 3 or a end of an axis 8 passing through and pivotally carrying said support support 3.
- the terminal plate (s) 5, 6, the axis 8 itself or the end corresponding support support 3 are provided with fixing means known in ones which make it possible to retain said axis 8 or said corresponding end of the support support 3 in the oblong hole or holes 7 (aligned) of said one or more end plates 5, 6.
- the stirrup 1 is characterized in that between the end plates 5, 6 of each branch 2 is arranged means 9 for limiting and damping the vertical displacement or substantially vertical of the support support 3 relative to said branches 2 of caliper 1.
- This means 9 for limiting and damping the vertical displacement or substantially vertical of the support support 3 with respect to said branches 2 of the stirrup 1 can be produced in the form, for example, of a cylindrical receptacle closed at its ends and open on two opposite lateral flanks in which two springs, placed on both sides, that is to say above and below the axis 8 or of the corresponding lug, provide damping and / or limitation of vertical or substantially vertical movement of the support support 3.
- This receptacle cylindrical can, for example, be welded to a single end plate or, the if necessary, welded between two facing plates 5, 6.
- FIGS. 1, 2 and 4 shows that to maintain the means 9 on the end plate or in between superimposed end plates, said means 9 for limiting and damping the support support 3 can be fixed on or between the end plates 5, 6 of each branch 2 by screws 11 or the like.
- the elasticity of the limiting means 9 and depreciation can be set or chosen different in the two branches 2.
- the support support 3 can be chosen as being more mobile from the side or the elasticity of the means 9 is greater.
- the means 9 of limitation and damping vertical or substantially vertical displacement of the support support 3 can be made in the form of an elastic pad 10 made of an elastic material and / or resilient through which the corresponding end of the support support 3 passes, or the end of the axis 8 passing through and pivotally carrying said support support 3.
- the dimensions of the hole in the elastic pad 10, through which the corresponding end of the support support 3 or the end of the axis 8 of the support support 3, are substantially the same as those of the corresponding end of the support support 3 or the end of the axis 8 of the support support 3.
- the clearance between the axis 8 and the elastic pad 10 will be minimized and the elastic or resilient material can fully play its role as limiter and / or damper of the movement of the axis 8 or the corresponding end of the support 3 in the oblong hole or the slot 7.
- the terminal plate (s) 5, 6 made of a harder material (stainless steel, brass ...) that the material of the means 9 have a geometry which, from a part, allows the vertical displacement of the axis or the end of the support 3 by the dimensions of the oblong hole or slot 7 and, on the other hand, the movement of pivoting of the support support 3 about its axis, via the walls side of the means 9, so as to advantageously avoid any phenomenon of unfavorable stop blocking.
- the pivoting of the support support 3 is therefore, as a general rule and at with the exception of really extreme cases, not limited by the end plate 6 interior but damped by the means 9 of limitation and damping of the vertical or substantially vertical displacement of the support support 3 relative to to said branches 2 of stirrup 1.
- the material used for the elastic pad 10 can be chosen in the group of elastic and / or resilient synthetic plastics, as well as in the group of original elastic and / or resilient materials natural.
- the elastic material of the elastic pad 10 can be selected from the wear-resistant cushioning group and is preferably rubber.
- the direction of the branches 2 and the direction of the oblong hole or slot 7 for vertical displacement of the corresponding end of the support 3 or the end of the axis 8 of the support support 3 form an angle between 10 ° and 40 °, preferably equal to about 18 °, the upper end of the slot 7 in the end plate 5 being directed towards the rider when the stirrup 1 is used, that is to say when the branches 2 of the stirrup 1 are vertical.
- the angle favors the pivoting of the support 3 on the right side, that is to say so as to lower the rider's heel, and make the almost destabilizing reverse movement; then in the phase descending from the jump and upon receiving it, the angle formed between the back of the jumper in optimal receiving position and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the horse's trunk tilted forward before reception is generally understood between 10 ° and 40 °.
- the vertical thrust is offset by the same angle thanks to the stirrup 1 according to the present invention.
- Figure 1 also shows that the support support 3 may be provided with an interchangeable insert known per se 12 as regards rubbery with non-slip patterns to ensure better adhesion between the metal support 3 and the rider's boot.
- the stirrup 1 of the present invention can be used in pedagogy equestrian, in particular to facilitate the learning of beginners by making their more comfortable and safer lessons, and allowing them to make progress faster.
