Description

La présente invention concerne un étrier d'équitation de sécurité visant à sécuriser la pratique de l'équitation en évitant le risque de pied coincé dans l'étrier en cas de chute. Les étriers d'équitation sont traditionnellement composé d'un oeillet fermé reliant l'étrier à une étrivière, deux demi-arches et un plancher, les deux demi-arches reliant l'oeillet et le plancher pour entourer le pied du cavalier.The present invention relates to a safety riding stirrup for securing the practice of riding by avoiding the risk of foot stuck in the stirrup in case of a fall. Riding stirrups are traditionally composed of a closed eyelet connecting the stirrup to a stirrup leather, two half-arches and a floor, the two half-arches connecting the eyelet and the floor to surround the foot of the rider.

L'utilisation des deux demi-arches permet au cavalier de conserver plus facilement ses étriers, le pied ne peut en effet sortir de l'étrier que par un mouvement vers l'arrière, la perte de l'étrier due à un mouvement latéral n'existe pas.The use of the two half-arches allows the rider to retain his stirrups more easily, the foot can indeed come out of the stirrup only by a movement backwards, the loss of the stirrup due to a lateral movement n 'does not exist.

L'inconvénient de l'utilisation de ces deux demi-arches est le danger que le pied du cavalier reste bloqué dans l'étrier lors d'une chute s'il est chaussé trop à fond.The disadvantage of the use of these two half-arches is the danger that the foot of the rider remains stuck in the stirrup during a fall if it is shod too thoroughly.

L'usage de la botte à talon découle de la nécessité de protéger le cavalier de ce risque de blocage du pied dans l'étrier. Bien qu'efficace, cet usage n'est pas parfait et de nombreux accidents pour cause de pied coincé sont encore à déplorer.The use of the boot comes from the need to protect the rider from the risk of blocking the foot in the stirrup. Although effective, this use is not perfect and many accidents due to stuck feet are still to be deplored.

Les étriers traditionnels à deux branches et oeillet fermé étant potentiellement dangereux, pour éviter ce problème il est connu de réaliser une fixation ouverte entre l'étrivière et la selle ce qui permet à l'ensemble étrier-étrivière de s'échapper de la selle en cas de chute.The traditional stirrups with two branches and closed eyelet being potentially dangerous, to avoid this problem it is known to make an open attachment between the stirrup leather and the saddle which allows the stirrup stirrup-stirrup to escape from the saddle. fall case.

Ainsi, aujourd'hui les étrivières sont montées sur des couteaux d'étrivières qui doivent permettre leur décrochage en cas de chute d'un cavalier dont le pied est coincé dans l'étrier.Thus, today the stirrup leathers are mounted on stirrup knives which must allow their stall in case of fall of a rider whose foot is stuck in the stirrup.

En outre, l'oeillet traditionnel étant fermé, le décrochage de l'étrivière est aussi rendu nécessaire pour monter l'étrier sur la selle puisqu'il y a lieu de sortir l'étrivière de la selle afin de la passer dans l'oeillet de l'étrier. L'opération inverse est nécessaire pour démonter l'étrier.In addition, the traditional eyelet being closed, stall stirrup is also necessary to mount the stirrup on the saddle since it is necessary to release the stirrup leather from the saddle to pass in the eyelet of the stirrup. The reverse operation is necessary to dismount the caliper.

Dans le but d'améliorer la sécurité du cavalier et de faciliter le remplacement des étriers sur les étrivières, l'étrier selon l'invention destiné à être utilisé notamment en équitation comprend :

  • une unique demi-arche de liaison entre un plancher de l'étrier et un oeillet pourvu d'une ouverture en sorte de permettre un montage/démontage aisé de l'étrier sur l'étrivière et,

  • in figure 7 : a perspective view of a stirrup stirrup assembly of the invention.

La figure 1 représente une vue schématique de la réalisation d'un étrier selon l'invention. La demi-arche 1 de l'étrier, l'oeillet 4 et une poutre 5a support du plancher 5 sont réalisés en une seule pièce à partir d'une tige 1 a pliée et courbée.The figure 1 represents a schematic view of the production of a stirrup according to the invention. The half-arch 1 of the stirrup, the eyelet 4 and a beam 5a support the floor 5 are made in one piece from a rod 1 has bent and curved.

La tige 1 a est préférablement réalisée en acier et est surmoulée de matière plastique 1 b représentée en pointillés pour donner la forme définitive de l'étrier.The rod 1a is preferably made of steel and is overmolded plastic 1b shown in dashed lines to give the final shape of the stirrup.

L'axe 5a en acier formant support du plancher est la continuité de la demi-arche 1.The steel axis 5a forming the floor support is the continuity of the half-arch 1.

Le plancher comporte une plaque 5b assujettie à l'axe 5a.The floor comprises a plate 5b subject to the axis 5a.

La plaque 5b en matière plastique est fixée sur l'axe ou poutre 5a par deux vis 3 se vissant dans des alésages 7 filetés réalisés dans l'axe 5a. pour obtenir différentes inclinaisons de plancher, les vis 3 traversant des moyens adaptés à un positionnement angulaire variable de la plaque 5b et sont vissées dans les alésages réalisés dans la poutre. Les moyens adaptés à un positionnement angulaire variable de la plaque sont selon l'exemple représenté réalisés par différents emplacements 6 prévus pour venir insérer les vis dans le plancher.The plastic plate 5b is fixed on the axis or beam 5a by two screws 3 screwing into threaded bores 7 made in the axis 5a. to get different floor inclinations, the screws 3 passing through means adapted to a variable angular positioning of the plate 5b and are screwed into the bores made in the beam. The means adapted to a variable angular positioning of the plate are, according to the example shown, made by different locations 6 provided for inserting the screws into the floor.

En variante non représentée, les trous 6 alignés perpendiculairement à l'axe ou poutre 5a peuvent être remplacés par des rainures oblongues de sorte que l'inclinaison du plancher puisse être plus finement réglée ou même de sorte que le plancher soit libre de pivoter autour de la poutre 5a selon un secteur angulaire donné.Alternatively not shown, the holes 6 aligned perpendicularly to the axis or beam 5a can be replaced by oblong grooves so that the inclination of the floor can be more finely adjusted or even so that the floor is free to rotate around the beam 5a according to a given angular sector.

Toujours selon ce mode de réalisation, une branche 2 en matière élastomère est fixée à l'extrémité de la plaque plancher 5b et cette branche se prolonge selon l'exemple sous la plaque 5a pour être fixée avec le plancher.Still according to this embodiment, a branch 2 of elastomeric material is attached to the end of the floor plate 5b and this branch is extended according to the example under the plate 5a to be fixed with the floor.

Cette branche 2 n'est pas reliée à l'oeillet 4 de l'étrier.This branch 2 is not connected to the eyelet 4 of the stirrup.

La partie basse de la branche 2 est plus épaisse que sa partie haute de façon à la rendre plus rigide.The lower part of the branch 2 is thicker than its upper part so as to make it more rigid.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation plus particulièrement représenté aux figures 2 et 3, la branche 2, comportant une première extrémité 2a reliée au plancher du côté opposé à la demi-arche 1 et une seconde extrémité libre 2b écartée de l'oeillet 4, réalise un passage pour le pied du cavalier en cas de chute du cavalier.According to a first embodiment more particularly represented in Figures 2 and 3 , the branch 2, having a first end 2a connected to the floor on the side opposite the half-arch 1 and a second free end 2b spaced from the eyelet 4, makes a passage for the foot of the rider in case of fall of the rider.

La partie basse formant la première extrémité 2a est réalisée en matière rigide telle qu'un élastomère chargé et la partie haute formant la seconde extrémité 2b de la branche 2 est réalisée en matériau souple de sorte que la partie basse est adaptée à maintenir le pied latéralement et la partie haute adaptée à fléchir facilite le dégagement du pied en cas de chute.The lower part forming the first end 2a is made of rigid material such as a loaded elastomer and the upper part forming the second end 2b of the branch 2 is made of flexible material so that the lower part is adapted to hold the foot laterally. and the upper part adapted to bend facilitates the release of the foot in case of a fall.

Comme représenté à la figure 3, l'oeillet 4 de la demi-arche 1 est positionné à 45° par rapport au plancher de façon à obtenir la meilleure position de jambes possible pour le cavalier.As represented in figure 3 , the eyelet 4 of the half-arch 1 is positioned at 45 ° to the floor so as to obtain the best possible leg position for the rider.

L'oeillet 4 de la branche 1 est ouvert de façon à pouvoir monter l'étrier sur l'étrivière sans avoir besoin de sortir l'étrivière de la selle.The eyelet 4 of the branch 1 is open so as to mount the stirrup on the stirrup leather without the need to remove the stirrup stirrup from the saddle.

Le dispositif objet de l'invention est un étrier ayant une seule demi-arche fixe. Selon le mode de réalisation des figures 2 et 3, la branche externe 2 est réalisé en matière semi rigide de type élastomère. Elle est reliée au plancher mais n'est pas reliée à l'oeillet 4 de l'étrier. Sa hauteur est à peu près équivalente au deux tiers de la demi-arche 1 interne de façon à laisser le passage du pied en cas de chute du cavalier. La matière élastomère permet de s'assurer de la souplesse du haut de la branche de façon à faciliter aussi le passage du pied en cas de chute.The device of the invention is a stirrup having a single fixed half-arch. According to the embodiment of Figures 2 and 3 , the outer branch 2 is made of semi-rigid material of elastomer type. It is connected to the floor but is not connected to eyelet 4 of the stirrup. Its height is roughly equivalent to two-thirds of the half-arch 1 internal so as to allow the passage of the foot in case of fall of the rider. The elastomeric material makes it possible to ensure the flexibility of the top of the branch so as to also facilitate the passage of the foot in case of a fall.

Cette branche a la caractéristique d'être rigide à sa base 2a pour assurer au cavalier de ne pas perdre ses étriers intempestivement et de devenir de plus en plus souple en s'élevant. La souplesse du haut 2b de la branche et l'ouverture permettent le passage du pied du cavalier en cas de chute.This branch has the characteristic of being rigid at its base 2a to ensure the rider does not lose his stirrups untimely and become more and more flexible when climbing. The flexibility of the top 2b of the branch and the opening allow the passage of the foot of the rider in case of fall.

L'oeillet ouvert représenté notamment à la figure 2 permet une plus grande facilité d'utilisation en facilitant les opérations de montages et démontages de l'étrier sur la selle.The open eyelet represented in particular at the figure 2 allows greater ease of use by facilitating assembly and disassembly of the stirrup on the saddle.

L'oeillet ouvert permet un gain de temps lors des opérations de montages et démontages de l'étrier sur la selle car en un seul geste l'étrier est fixé sur l'étrivière sans avoir à sortir celle-ci de la selle.The open eyelet saves time during assembly and disassembly of the stirrup on the saddle because in a single gesture the stirrup is attached to the stirrup leather without having to take it out of the saddle.

Cet étrier qui associe la sécurité grâce à sa conception mono-branche et la facilité de montage grâce à l'oeillet ouvert permettra d'utiliser des étrivières montées fixement sur la selle.This stirrup which combines safety thanks to its single-branch design and ease of assembly thanks to the open eyelet will allow to use stirrups mounted fixed on the saddle.

Le plancher pourra pour des raisons de confort être monté à plat ou avec une légère inclinaison sur l'arrière en utilisant les trous 6 plus ou moins avancés.The floor may for reasons of comfort be mounted flat or with a slight inclination on the back using the holes 6 more or less advanced.

L'exemple de réalisation des figures 4 et 5 correspond à un second mode de réalisation utilisant un moyen de maintien comportant un dispositif de fixation de chaussure à déclenchement automatique.The exemplary embodiment of Figures 4 and 5 corresponds to a second embodiment using a holding means comprising an automatic trigger shoe fixing device.

Un tel dispositif de fixation est notamment connu du document WO03/070622 A1 comporte une butée 12 et des crochets 11, 10 manoeuvrés par des ressorts non représentés et qui ne sera pas décrit ici plus avant.Such a fixing device is in particular known from the document WO03 / 070622 A1 comprises a stop 12 and hooks 11, 10 manipulated by springs not shown and which will not be described here further.

Dans le cadre de ce mode de réalisation la branche 2 peut être remplacée par une butée courte 13 ou conservée.In the context of this embodiment the branch 2 can be replaced by a short stop 13 or stored.

En figure 4 l'oeillet représenté comporte une branche centrale supérieure 4a, de réception et d'appui de l'étrivière 14, une première branche latérale 4b de liaison avec la demi arche 1 et une seconde branche latérale 4c dont l'extrémité distale est rapprochée et séparée de la première branche latérale 4b en sorte de former l'ouverture 15 de l'oeillet 4.In figure 4 the eyelet shown comprises an upper central branch 4a, receiving and supporting the stirrup leather 14, a first lateral branch 4b of connection with the half arch 1 and a second lateral branch 4c whose end distal is brought together and separated from the first lateral branch 4b so as to form the opening 15 of the eyelet 4.

L'étrivière 14 étant constituée d'une sangle plate de largeur importante par rapport à son épaisseur e, l'ouverture de l'oeillet 4 est dimensionnée pour permettre le montage de l'étrier sur l'étrivière dans le sens de l'épaisseur e de la sangle constituant l'étrivière 14 et éviter la sortie intempestive de l'étrivière de l'oeillet lors d'une utilisation normale de l'étrier, sangle en appui dans l'oeillet.The stirrup leather 14 being constituted by a flat strap of large width relative to its thickness e, the opening of the eyelet 4 is dimensioned to allow the mounting of the stirrup on the stirrup leather in the direction of the thickness. e of the strap constituting the stirrup leather 14 and prevent the untimely exit of the stirrup eyelet during normal use of the stirrup, strap in support in the eyelet.

Préférablement, le dimensionnement de l'oeillet 4 est tel que son ouverture 15 est placée au moins trois centimètres au dessous de la partie haute de l'oeillet d'appui de l'étrivière afin d'éviter la sortie intempestive de l'étrivière de l'oeillet lors d'une utilisation normale de l'étrier.Preferably, the dimensioning of the eyelet 4 is such that its opening 15 is placed at least three centimeters below the upper part of the support eyelet of the stirrup leather to prevent the untimely exit of the stirrup leather. the eyelet during normal use of the stirrup.

Selon l'invention, l'usage d'un étrier de sécurité à oeillet ouvert a pour avantage de permettre la réalisation d'un équipement de cavalier représenté en figure 6 et comportant une selle 17, des étrivières 14 et des étriers à oeillets ouverts 4 les étrivières14 étant attachées à la selle par des passants fermés 16, solidarisant les étrivières à la selle.According to the invention, the use of an open eyelet safety stirrup has the advantage of allowing the realization of a jumper equipment represented in FIG. figure 6 and having a saddle 17, stirrup leathers 14 and stirrups with open eyelets 4 the stirrup leaflets14 being attached to the saddle by closed loops 16, solidarisant the stirrup leathers to the saddle.

Cette réalisation simplifie le changement des étriers tout en évitant aux étrivières de se détacher de la selle.This achievement simplifies the change of the stirrups while avoiding the stirrup leathers to detach from the saddle.

En outre une telle disposition permet de positionner au mieux les passants 16 sur la selle sous un rabat 18 et, comme l'accès aux passants devient inutile pour changer les étriers, on évite les difficultés connues avec les équipements traditionnels pour lesquels l'accès aux couteaux d'étrivières est souvent rendu difficile par le gonflement des matelassures lorsqu'ils vieillissent.In addition, such an arrangement makes it possible to better position passers-by 16 on the saddle under a flap 18 and, as access to passers-by becomes unnecessary for changing stirrups, it avoids the difficulties known with traditional equipment for which access to Stirrup knives are often made difficult by the swelling of the padding as they age.

La figure 7 représente une variante de l'ensemble étrier étrivière de la figure 6 pour laquelle l'étrivière 14a comporte une partie de sangle plate formant une boucle plate 14b, une bande de liaison 14c à l'extrémité inférieure de laquelle est attachée la partie de sangle plate et le passant fermé 16 décrit précédemment fixé ici à l'extrémité supérieure de la bande de liaison et passé dans la sangle de selle 19 identique à la sangle dépassant sous le rabat 18 de la figure 6.The figure 7 represents a variant of the stirrup stirrup assembly of the figure 6 for which the stirrup leather 14a has a flat strap portion forming a flat loop 14b, a connecting strip 14c at the lower end of which is attached the flat strap portion and the closed loop 16 described previously attached here at the end upper link and passed through the saddle strap 19 identical to the strap protruding under the flap 18 of the figure 6 .

Cette variante revient à la réalisation d'un ensemble étrier étrivière qui comprend une étrivière plate à brin unique comportant deux extrémités équipées chacune d'une boucle, une première des boucles étant une boucle plate 14c qui s'insère dans l'oeillet de l'étrier de l'invention et la seconde des boucles étant une boucle fermée 16 dans laquelle est passé la sangle de selle.This variant amounts to the production of a stirrup stirrup assembly which comprises a flat stirrup single stirrup having two ends each equipped with a loop, a first of the loops being a flat loop 14c which is inserted into the eyelet of the stirrup of the invention and the second of the loops being a closed loop 16 in which is passed the saddle strap.

L'invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples représentés et notamment, l'ouverture de l'oeillet peut être disposée vers l'avant ou vers l'arrière de l'étrier.The invention is not limited to the examples shown and in particular, the opening of the eyelet may be arranged towards the front or rear of the stirrup.
