Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Steigbügeleinlage für einen Steigbügel nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a stirrup insert for a stirrup according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Eine derartige Steigbügeleinlage ist aus EP 1 003 688 B1 bekannt.Such a stirrup insert is made EP 1 003 688 B1 known.

Aus US 6,766,632 B2 ist eine mehrteilige Steigbügeleinlage bekannt, die - von oben nach unten gesehen - einen rechteckförmigen Bereich mit einer ein Gleiten verhindernden Oberfläche, ein oberes Klammerelement, ein erstes und ein zweites, ringförmiges, vorzugsweise gasgefülltes Dämpfungselement und ein unteres Klammerelement aufweist. Der rechteckförmige Bereich bildet den Auflagebereich aus.Out US 6,766,632 B2 For example, there is known a multi-part stirrup insert having, as seen from top to bottom, a rectangular area having a slip preventing surface, an upper bracket member, first and second annular, preferably gas filled, damping members, and a lower bracket member. The rectangular area forms the support area.

Aus WO 2006/021621 A1 ist ein Steigbügel mit einer Steigbügeleinlage bekannt. Er kann nur mit einem auf ihn angepassten Reitschuh verwendet werden. Von der Steigbügeleinlage springt ein Kupplungsteil nach oben vor. In der Sohle des Reitschuhs ist eine Ausnehmung vorgesehen, in die das Kupplungsteil eingreift. Dadurch wird der Reitschuh gegenüber dem Steigbügel fixiert.Out WO 2006/021621 A1 is a stirrup with a stirrup insert known. It can only be used with a customized riding shoe. From the stirrup insert a coupling part projects upwards. In the sole of the riding shoe, a recess is provided, in which engages the coupling part. This fixes the riding shoe opposite the stirrup.

Steigbügeleinlagen sollen einen ausreichenden Reibwert zur Sohle eines Stiefels eines Reiters haben, um nicht so leicht gegenüber dem Stiefel rutschen zu können, möglichst nicht zu verrutschen. Sie sollen weiterhin eine gewisse Elastizität aufweisen und damit dämpfend wirken, beispielsweise bei Sprüngen.Stirrup inserts should have a sufficient coefficient of friction to the sole of a boot of a rider, so as not to be able to slip so easily against the boot, if possible not to slip. They should continue to have a certain elasticity and thus have a damping effect, for example in jumps.

Der Nachteil der vorbekannten Bügeleinlagen nach der EP 1 003 688 B1 liegt darin, dass sie aus einem einheitlichen Material gefertigt sind. Dadurch werden immer nur bestimmte Bedürfnisse eines Reiters abgedeckt. Das einheitliche Material kann nicht zugleich weich und hart sein, einen hohen Reibwert haben oder nicht, usw.The disadvantage of the prior art ironing inserts after EP 1 003 688 B1 is that they are made of a uniform material. As a result, only certain needs of a rider are covered. The uniform material can not be both soft and hard at the same time, have a high coefficient of friction or not, etc.

Hier setzt die Erfindung ein. Sie hat es sich zum Ziel gemacht, die steigbügeleinlage dahingehend weiterzuentwickeln, dass eine größere Freiheit der jeweiligen Eigenschaften vorliegt.This is where the invention starts. It has made it its goal to further develop the stirrup insert so that there is greater freedom of the respective properties.

Demgemäß ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, die Steigbügeleinlage der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend weiterzuentwickeln, dass sie mehrere Anforderungen, beispielsweise eine harte und zugleich weiche Ausbildung, gleichzeitig zu erfüllen vermag.Accordingly, it is an object of the invention to further develop the stirrup insert of the type mentioned in that it is able to meet several requirements, such as a hard and at the same time soft training, at the same time.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch die Steigbügeleinlage mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1.This object is achieved by the stirrup insert with the features of patent claim 1.

Bei dieser Steigbügeleinlage können Innenteil und Außenteil unterschiedlich ausgebildet werden. Das Innenteil ist weicher ausgebildet als das Außenteil. Das Innenteil kann etwas gegenüber dem Außenteil nach oben vorspringen. Innenteil und Außenteil sind miteinander verbunden, so dass eine einstückige Steigbügeleinlage vorliegt.In this stirrup insert inner part and outer part can be designed differently. The inner part is softer than the outer part. The inner part can project slightly upwards with respect to the outer part. Inner part and outer part are connected to each other, so that there is a one-piece stirrup insert.

In einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung beträgt die Härte des Innenteils 20 bis weniger als 50 Shore und beträgt die Härte des Außenteils 50 bis 90 Shore, wobei das Außenteil zumindest 10 Shore härter, vorzugsweise zumindest 20 Shore härter als das Innenteil ist. Das Innenteil ist für den Kontakt und für eine gute Reibung zuständig, das Außenteil für einen präzisen Kontakt mit dem Steigbügel.In a preferred embodiment, the hardness of the inner part is 20 to less than 50 Shore and the hardness of the outer part 50 to 90 Shore, the outer part is at least 10 Shore harder, preferably at least 20 Shore harder than the inner part. The inner part is responsible for the contact and a good friction, the outer part for a precise contact with the stirrup.

Die unterschiedliche Ausbildung des Innenteils und des Außenteils kann auf verschiedene Weise erreicht werden. Beispielsweise ist das Innenteil aus zwei Schichten aufgebaut, wobei eine obere, geschlossene und dünnere Schicht nachgiebig ist und eine untere Lage ausgesprochen weich ist, jedenfalls weicher als die obere Schicht und beispielsweise aus Schaumgummi, einer Luftkammer, einem Material mit Zellstruktur oder dergleichen gefertigt ist. Die Härte des Außenteils entspricht bevorzugt der Härte der Steigbügeleinlagen, wie sie die Anmelderin für den Steigbügel nach der EP 1 003 688 B1 anbietet. Der Innenteil ist dagegen weicher.The different design of the inner part and the outer part can be achieved in various ways. For example, the inner part is composed of two layers, wherein an upper, closed and thinner layer is compliant and a lower layer is extremely soft, at least softer than the upper layer and made of foam rubber, an air chamber, a material with cell structure or the like. The hardness of the outer part preferably corresponds to the hardness of the stirrup inserts, as the applicant for the stirrup after EP 1 003 688 B1 offering. The inner part is softer on the other hand.

Die Oberfläche der Steigbügeleinlage ist üblicherweise genoppt oder in anderer Form profiliert, jedenfalls hat sie Vorsprünge. Der Unterschied zwischen Innenteil und Außenteil kann nun durch eine feinere Strukturierung des Innenteils im Vergleich zum Außenteil erreicht werden. Die Noppen können beim Innenteil auch weiter vorspringen, so dass sie insgesamt weicher sind.The surface of the stirrup insert is usually studded or profiled in any other way, at least it has projections. The difference between inner part and outer part can now be achieved by a finer structuring of the inner part compared to the outer part. The nubs can also protrude further on the inner part, so that they are softer overall.

Weitere Vorteile und Merkmale der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den übrigen Ansprüchen und der nun folgenden Beschreibung eines nicht einschränkend zu verstehenden Ausführungsbeispiels der Erfindung, das unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung im Folgenden näher erläutert wird. In dieser Zeichnung zeigen:

Aus den Figuren 1 und 2 ist ein kompletter Steigbügel ersichtlich, in den Figuren 3 bis 7 sind Einzelteile des Steigbügels dargestellt. Er hat einen U-förmigen Bügel 20, eine mit diesem Bügel 20 verbundene Trittplatte 22 und eine mit der Trittplatte 22 lösbar verbundene Steigbügeleinlage 24 nach der Erfindung. Die konkreten Ausbildungen von Bügel 20 und Trittplatte 22 sind in der Patentanmeldung unter der Bezeichnung "Steigbügel mit Trittplatte" mit gleichem Anmeldetag erläutert.From the Figures 1 and 2 is a complete stirrup evident in the FIGS. 3 to 7 are items of the stirrup shown. It has a U-shaped bracket 20, a tread plate 22 connected to this bracket 20 and a stirrup insert 24 detachably connected to the tread plate 22 according to the invention. The specific embodiments of bracket 20 and footboard 22 are explained in the patent application under the name "Stirrups with footboard" with the same filing.

Zu erkennen ist der S-förmige Verlauf des Bügels 20, dargestellt ist ein linker Steigbügel, Beim rechten Steigbügel ist der Verlauf Z-förmig, wie er in der Spiegelung von Fig. 1 erhalten wird.Evident is the S-shaped course of the bracket 20, shown is a left stirrup, the right stirrup is the course Z-shaped, as in the reflection of Fig. 1 is obtained.

Die Steigbügelanlage 24 hat ein rahmenförmiges Außenteil 26 und ein von diesem eingeschlossenes Innenteil 28. Das Innenteil 28 ist ovalförmig. In der Ausführung sind Außenteil 26 und Innentell 28 dauerhaft miteinander verbunden. Sie werden zwar separat hergestellt, bilden aber im fertigen, zusammengesetzten Zustand eine Einheit.The stirrup attachment 24 has a frame-shaped outer part 26 and an inner part 28 enclosed by the latter. The inner part 28 is oval-shaped. In the embodiment, outer part 26 and inner panel 28 are permanently connected to each other. Although they are made separately, but form a unit in the finished, assembled state.

Wie aus den Figuren ersichtlich ist, hat das Außenteil 26 innerhalb der Arme des Bügels 20 eine Abmessung, die etwa dem 1,2-fachen der entsprechenden Abmessung des Innenteils 28 entspricht, Das entsprechende Abmessungsverhältnis kann zwischen und 1,1 und 3 liegen. In Querrichtung hierzu, also in der z-Richtung, beträgt die Breitenabmessung des Außenteils 26 etwa das 1,5-fache der entsprechenden Breitenabmessung des Innenteils 28. Das Verhältnis kann hier zwischen 1,2 und 3 liegen.As can be seen from the figures, the outer part 26 within the arms of the yoke 20 has a dimension which is approximately 1.2 times the corresponding dimension of the inner part 28. The corresponding dimension ratio may be between 1.1 and 3. In the transverse direction, ie in the z-direction, the width dimension of the outer part 26 is approximately 1.5 times the corresponding width dimension of the inner part 28. The ratio here can be between 1.2 and 3.

Das Innenteil 28 ist durch geeignete Maßnahmen weicher ausgebildet als das Außenteil. Der Unterschied zwischen der Shore-Härte des weicheren Innenteils und des härteren Außenteils beträgt zumindest zehn Shore-Härtegrade, vorzugsweise mehr, beispielsweise 20 oder 30. Im ersten Ausführungsbeispiel ist das Innenteil dadurch weicher ausgeführt, dass sein Material weicher ausgebildet ist. Es werden unterschledliche Gummimaterialien bzw. Elastomere für die beiden Teile 26, 28 verwendet.The inner part 28 is made softer by suitable measures than the outer part. The difference between the Shore hardness of the softer inner part and the harder outer part is at least ten Shore hardness, preferably more, for example 20 or 30. In the first embodiment, the inner part is made softer by softening its material. Unterschledliche rubber materials or elastomers for the two parts 26, 28 are used.

Sowohl die Oberfläche 34 des Außenteils 26 als auch die Oberfläche 36 des Innenteils 28 wird durch Noppen 30, 32 gebildet, die domförmig sind. Dabei sind die Noppen 30 des Außenteils 26 nicht so hoch wie die Noppen 32 des Innenteils 28, der Unterschied beträgt mindestens 1 mm. Im konkreten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Höhe der Noppen 30 des Außenteils 26 nur 55 % der Höhe der Noppen 32 des Innenteils 28. Auch durch die unterschiedliche Höhe der Noppen wird das Innenteil 28 weicher als das Außenteil 26. Der Höhenunterschied kann zwischen 1 und 7 mm liegen.Both the surface 34 of the outer part 26 and the surface 36 of the inner part 28 is formed by nubs 30, 32 which are dome-shaped. The nubs 30 of the outer part 26 are not as high as the nubs 32 of the inner part 28, the difference is at least 1 mm. In the specific embodiment, the height of the knobs 30 of the outer part 26 is only 55% of the height of the nubs 32 of the inner part 28. Also by the different height of the knobs, the inner part 28 is softer than the outer part 26. The height difference can be between 1 and 7 mm ,

Die Oberflächen des Außenteils 26 und die Oberfläche des Innenteils 28 sind eben, sie verlaufen parallel zur x-z-Ebene. Sie bilden gemeinsam die Oberfläche der Steigbügeleinlage 24. Die Oberfläche 34 des Außenteils 26 befindet sich im Ausführungsbeispiel etwa 2 mm unterhalb der Oberfläche 36 des Innenteils 28.The surfaces of the outer part 26 and the surface of the inner part 28 are flat, they are parallel to the x-z plane. Together they form the surface of the stirrup insert 24. The surface 34 of the outer part 26 is located in the embodiment about 2 mm below the surface 36 of the inner part 28th

Das Außenteil 26 ist als Rahmen mit einem Fenster, der das Innenteil 28 vollständig umgreift, ausgebildet. Die Steigbügeleinlage 24 hat parallel zur x-Richtung verlaufende, obere Kanten 38. Es ist insbesondere bevorzugt, dass das Außenteil 26 diese begrenzenden Kanten 38 ausbildet. Das Innenteil 28 soll einen Abstand in z-Richtung von mindestens 5 mm von diesen Kanten 38 auf beiden Seiten haben. Dadurch bildet das härtere Außenteil 26 den Bereich um die Kanten 38 aus, wodurch der Reiter ein festeres, strafferes Gefühl hat. Das Innenteil 28 ist dadurch im Wesentlichen für die Haftung zuständig, während das Außenteil 26 auch der Führung dient. Es ist möglich, dass das Innenteil 28 bis an die Arme des Bügels 20 heranreicht und ggf. noch darüber hinaus, so dass in x-Richtung sich das Innenteil 28 über die gesamte Länge der Steigbügeleinlage 24 erstrecken kann.The outer part 26 is formed as a frame with a window which completely surrounds the inner part 28. The stirrup insert 24 has upper edges 38 running parallel to the x-direction. It is particularly preferred that the outer part 26 forms these bounding edges 38. The inner part 28 should have a distance in the z-direction of at least 5 mm from these edges 38 on both sides. As a result, the harder outer part 26 forms the area around the edges 38, whereby the rider has a firmer, firmer feel. The inner part 28 is thereby essentially responsible for the liability, while the outer part 26 also serves the leadership. It is possible that the inner part 28 extends up to the arms of the bracket 20 and possibly even beyond, so that in the x-direction, the inner part 28 may extend over the entire length of the stirrup insert 24.

Vorzugsweise ist die Steigbügeleinlage 24 so ausgeführt, dass bei Normalbelastung die Sohle eines Stiefels das Innenteil 28 stärker eindrückt als das Außenteil 26. Im benutzten Zustand liegen dann vorzugsweise beide Oberflächen 34, 36 im Wesentlichen in einer Ebene, die parallel zur x-z-Ebene ist.Preferably, the stirrup insert 24 is designed so that under normal load, the sole of a boot pushes the inner part 28 more than the outer part 26. In the used state then preferably both surfaces 34, 36 lie substantially in a plane which is parallel to the x-z plane.

Die Steigbügeleinlage hat einen Auflagebereich 50. Er befindet sich oberhalb der Trittplatte 22. Er wird im Ausführungsbeispiel durch das Innenteil 28 und durch ein Teilstück des Außenteils 26 gebildet. Die Steigbügeleinlage 24 hat weiterhin einen Haltebereich 52. Er ist einstückig mit dem Außenteil 26 verbunden und entsprechend dem Stand der Technik ausgebildet. Er hat ein Zwischenstück 54, das sich in mindestens einer Aussparung der Trittplatte 22 einfindet, und Haltearme 56, die unten aus der Trittplatte 22 herausragen und diese seitlich untergreifen. Entsprechende Konstruktionen sind Stand der Technik bekannt und müssen hier nicht näher erläutert werden.It is located above the tread plate 22. It is formed in the embodiment by the inner part 28 and by a portion of the outer part 26. The stirrup insert 24 further has a holding portion 52. It is integrally connected to the outer part 26 and formed according to the prior art. He has an intermediate piece 54, which is found in at least one recess of the tread plate 22, and retaining arms 56 which protrude from the bottom of the tread plate 22 and engage under this side. Corresponding constructions are known in the art and need not be explained in detail here.

Im Ausführungsbeispiel wird der Haltebereich 52 ausschließlich durch das Außenteil 26 gebildet. Es ist aber auch möglich, dem Innenteil 28 ebenfalls Halteaufgaben zu übertragen, also z.B. einen Teil des Haltebereichs dort auszubilden. Bevorzugt ist, dass zumindest ein Teilstück des Haltebereichs 52 am Außenteil 26 vorgesehen ist, und Zwar einstückig.In the exemplary embodiment, the holding region 52 is formed exclusively by the outer part 26. But it is also possible, the inner part 28 also holding tasks to transfer, for example, form part of the holding area there. It is preferred that at least a portion of the holding portion 52 is provided on the outer part 26, and indeed in one piece.
