Definitions

  • the invention relates to saddle pads and saddles and saddle blankets, especially horse saddles and horse saddle blankets, as well as knee pads for saddles, especially horse saddles.
  • Saddle pads are placed under the saddle of a mount and serve as additional padding between the saddle and the back of the animal. They are to protect the back of the animal from excessive uneven, in particular punctiform load by the rider's weight or by a possibly incorrectly seated saddle.
  • Known saddle pads are made of foam, silicone gel, neoprene, sheepskin or faux fur or a combination of these materials.
  • the adjustment is done by adding or removing packing material.
  • it is proposed to leave the airbag unencumbered for a longer period of time.
  • the compressed foam will then relax for several weeks, causing air to be drawn into the interior of the airbag until the pressure balance with the environment is restored.
  • a disadvantage of this known solution that must be kept ready for adaptation of the saddle separate packing material.
  • the vacuum pad contains granular filler material, e.g. B. small elastic plastic beads. It is provided with a valve through which the air is sucked out of the vacuum pad, whereby the filling material gives the saddle a shape adapted to the back of the horse and thereby causes a more even distribution of the load.
  • the pillow is dimensionally stable. Due to the elasticity of the plastic beads, the pillow will not be completely hard, even if the air is completely sucked out of the pillow, so that the pillow stays soft and rubbing on the horse's back is prevented.
  • the disadvantage here is that the extraction of air involves a technical effort and requires tools that are not always available.
  • a saddlecloth which has pockets into which padding elements with a plurality of air cushions and at least one elastic element can be inserted.
  • the elastic element can also be arranged within an air cushion.
  • the air cushions are inflated using valves to provide the necessary Adaptation to reach the horse's back.
  • the object of the invention is to simplify the individual adaptation of saddles to the back of a mount, whether to different mounts or due to different riders or a prolonged use, and in particular to allow without the use of tools.
  • the invention is also achieved by a saddle, in which a saddle pad according to the invention is integrated, by a saddle blanket, in which a saddle pad according to the invention is integrated, and / or by a knee layer for a saddle, into which a saddle pad according to the invention is integrated.
  • the saddle pad is also called knee bolster.
  • a saddle pad can be adapted at any time to any changing circumstances without auxiliary means. Since the saddle pad filled with elastic compressible material has a valve through which air can be forced out of the saddle pad or through which air is sucked in due to the relaxing elastic material and the resulting negative pressure in the saddle pad, by appropriately opening or closing the saddle pad Valve the amount of air in the saddle cushion, ie the size of the existing in the saddle pad Negative pressure, individually adjusted.
  • the pressure distribution behavior of the saddle pad can be easily adapted to the respective requirements in this way. Tools are not required for this purpose. If air is to be released, pressure is exerted on the saddle cushion when the valve is open so that air escapes through the valve from the saddle pad.
  • the valve is closed. If sufficient air has been expelled, the valve is closed. If the compressed saddle cushion to be filled with more air, the closed valve is opened until the desired amount of air has flowed into the saddle pad. Then the valve is closed again to prevent further influx or unwanted escape of air under load.
  • the saddle cushion can be filled with air in this way for a maximum until a pressure equilibrium between the interior of the shell and the environment is reached.
  • the shell is formed of polyester. This material has proven to be permanently airtight.
  • the elastic compressible material is an open-cell foam, which is particularly preferably formed from polyurethane.
  • the open-cell foam can substantially completely fill the sheath and thereby gives the saddle pad high stability.
  • the shell has a first and a second portion, in each of which elastic compressible material is arranged and which are in fluid communication with each other through a third portion, in which no elastic compressible material is arranged.
  • the first and second sections are mirror-symmetrical to each other. In this training Each of the first and second sections of the saddle pad is located on one side of the backbone of the mount, allowing the saddle pad to better conform to the body shape of the mount.
  • a saddle cushion according to the invention can also have two shells that are designed and arranged mirror-symmetrically to one another and are hermetically sealed against each other and each of which has at least one valve.
  • the casings can be filled with different amounts of air, allowing better adaptation to the back of the mount, as differences between the two sides of the back of the mount can be accommodated.
  • An inventive saddle pad can be placed under a saddle or under a saddle blanket. But it is also possible, a saddle cushion according to the invention in a saddle or in a saddlecloth or in a knee position, z. B. in the field of large bag in horse saddles, use or integrate.
  • the exemplary embodiment of a saddle pad 1 according to the invention shown in the figures has two sleeves 2 which are each filled with elastic compressible material 3.
  • the two cases 2 are sealed against each other airtight and connected by a connecting web 4 with each other.
  • the two shells 2 are mirror-symmetrical to each other, wherein the mirror axis 5 is located on the longitudinal axis of the connecting web.
  • the casings 2 and the shell walls are made of a flexible airtight material, for. B. of polyester.
  • the inner spaces 6 of the casings 2 are substantially completely filled in the illustrated example with an open-cell foam 3, which is formed for example from polyurethane.
  • the (not shown) open cells in the foam and the non-foam filled part of the inner space 6 of the respective sheath 2 form interconnected cavities, which shrink during compression of the foam 3 and enlarge the expansion of the foam 3 again.
  • each shell 2 has a valve 8 which is airtightly connected to the shell 2.
  • the valve 8 can, in the present example by turning, closed or opened. In the illustrated embodiment, by turning counterclockwise - in the direction of arrow A in Fig. 3 - the valve 8 is closed, and by turning clockwise - in the direction of arrow B in Fig. 4 - the valve 8 is opened. With the valves 8 open, the interiors 6 of the airtight envelopes 2 are in fluid communication with the environment, so that air 9 can flow into or out of the respective sheath 2. Is the valve 7 closed, the associated shell 2 is airtight sealed from the environment.
  • the envelope 2 or the saddle cushion 1 is filled with air 9 by the valve 8 being opened again.
  • the compressed elastic foam 3 in the shell 2 relaxes, causing the cavities in the foam 3 enlarge again and creates a negative pressure relative to the environment.
  • the negative pressure causes ambient air 9 is sucked into the shell 2 and in the there existing, enlarging cavities.
  • a negative pressure relative to the ambient pressure can thus be set by means of the valve 8.
  • the amount of air in the saddle pad 1 can thus be varied, up to a maximum pressure equilibrium between the interior 6 of the saddle pad 1 and the ambient pressure is available. This results in adapting to different or changing over time conditions between the saddle and the back of the mount a wide range of ways to adjust the pressure distribution behavior of the saddle pad 1 to the respective requirements in a simple manner.
