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 tels étriers 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 using such calipers 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 restant coincé dans l'étrier 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 foot stuck in the stirrup are still to be deplored.

Le document WO03/070622 A1 décrit un ensemble étrier/chaussure d'équitation pour lequel l'étrier comporte une seule demi-arche de liaison à une étrivière et pour lequel l'étrier et la chaussure sont munis de moyens d'accrochage qui se décrochent en cas de chute.The document WO03 / 070622 A1 discloses a stirrup assembly / riding shoe for which the stirrup comprises a single half-arch binding to a stirrup leather and for which the stirrup and the shoe are provided with hooking means which unhook in case of a fall.

Le document FR 2 920 421 A1 décrit un étrier comportant une seule demi-arche de liaison à une étrivière et muni d'une branche raccourcie à extrémité libre formant une butée latérale apte à fléchir pour libérer le pied du cavalier en cas de chute.The document FR 2 920 421 A1 describes a stirrup having a single half-arch connection to a stirrup and equipped with a short branch with free end forming a lateral stop capable of bending to release the foot of the rider in case of a fall.

La présente invention a pour but de perfectionner un tel étrier et notamment de lui donner une meilleure tenue dans le sens de l'introduction du pied dans l'étrier tout en lui conservant une fonction de dégagement du pied en cas de chute afin d'offrir un meilleur maintien du pied, ce qui rend cet étrier plus efficace et plus précis dans la conduite du cheval, tout en offrant une grande sécurité d'utilisation.The present invention aims to improve such a stirrup and in particular to give it a better hold in the direction of the introduction of the foot in the stirrup while retaining a function of release of the foot in case of a fall to offer a better support of the foot, which makes this caliper more effective and more precise in the driving of the horse, while offering a great security of use.

Pour ce faire, la présente invention propose un étrier d'équitation comprenant une unique demi-arche de liaison entre une première extrémité d'un plancher de l'étrier et un oeillet de montage de l'étrier sur une étrivière et un moyen de maintien du pied dans l'étrier adapté à permettre un dégagement rapide du pied de l'étrier en cas de chute, le moyen de maintien étant constitué par une branche allongée courbe comportant une extrémité proximale solidaire d'une seconde extrémité du plancher et une extrémité distale libre, caractérisé en ce que la branche allongée comporte à partir de son extrémité proximale un premier segment rigide, un deuxième segment comportant des moyens agencés en sorte de réaliser au moins une zone de raideur réduite permettant un fléchissement de la branche dans au moins une première direction et un troisième segment terminé par l'extrémité distale libre.To do this, the present invention provides a riding stirrup comprising a single half-connecting arch between a first end of a floor of the stirrup and a mounting eyelet of the stirrup on a stirrup stirrup and a holding means foot in the stirrup adapted to allow rapid release of the foot of the stirrup in case of a fall, the holding means being constituted by a curved elongated branch having a proximal end secured to a second end of the floor and a distal end free, characterized in that the elongated branch comprises from its proximal end a first rigid segment, a second segment comprising means arranged so as to achieve at least one reduced stiffness zone allowing a deflection of the branch in at least a first direction and a third segment terminated by the free distal end.

Préférablement lesdits moyens sont agencés en sorte de rendre la branche flexible dans une direction arrière par rapport au sens d'introduction du pied du cavalier dans l'étrier et raide dans une direction opposée avant.Preferably said means are arranged so as to make the flexible leg in a rear direction with respect to the direction of insertion of the rider's foot into the yoke and steep in a forward opposite direction.

Avantageusement, les moyens agencés en sorte de rendre la branche flexible dans la direction arrière comportent au moins une fente sur au moins une partie avant de la branche par rapport à un axe passant par les extrémités proximale et distale de la branche, la partie avant correspondant à l'avant du pied du cavalier, les bords en regard de la fente s'écartant lors de l'application d'un effort de l'avant vers l'arrière sur l'extrémité distale de la branche ce qui fait fléchir la branche vers l'arrière tandis que les bords en regard de la fente viennent en butée sous l'action d'un effort appliqué de l'arrière vers l'avant sur l'extrémité distale de la branche ce qui fait résister la branche vers l'avant.Advantageously, the means arranged so as to make the flexible branch in the rear direction comprise at least one slot on at least a front portion of the branch relative to an axis passing through the proximal and distal ends of the branch, the corresponding front part. in front of the rider's foot, the edges facing the slot apart when applying a force from the front to the back on the distal end of the branch which bends the branch rearward while the edges facing the slot abut under the action of a force applied from the back to the front on the distal end of the branch which resists the branch to the before.

Plus particulièrement, la branche comprend au moins deux fentes.More particularly, the branch comprises at least two slots.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, les moyens comportent au moins une découpe transversale par rapport à un axe avant arrière de l'étrier, la découpe formant une zone de raideur réduite permettant un fléchissement de la branche dans la direction transversale.According to a particular embodiment, the means comprise at least one cut transverse to a rear front axis of the stirrup, the cut forming a reduced stiffness zone allowing a deflection of the branch in the transverse direction.

Selon ce mode de réalisation, ladite au moins une fente partant d'un bord avant de la branche débouche préférablement dans une découpe transversale.According to this embodiment, said at least one slot extending from a front edge of the branch preferably opens into a transverse cutout.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, la branche comprend au moins trois découpes.According to a particular embodiment, the branch comprises at least three cuts.

Avantageusement, la branche est courbée à la manière d'une seconde demi-arche.Advantageously, the branch is curved in the manner of a second half-arch.

Selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel, la demi-arche est réalisée à partir d'une tige en acier ressort.According to a preferred embodiment, the half-arch is made from a spring steel rod.

Avantageusement, l'oeillet est pourvu d'une fente d'introduction d'une étrivière.Advantageously, the eyelet is provided with a slot for introducing a stirrup stirrup.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention seront mieux compris à la lecture de la description qui suit d'un exemple de réalisation non limitatif de l'invention accompagné des dessins qui représentent:

  • in figure 1 : an exploded schematic view of a first embodiment of a stirrup according to the invention;
  • in figure 2 : a view of the stirrup of the figure 1 partly assembled;

to the Figures 6A and 6B : side views of a stirrup of the invention according to the position of the foot of a rider.

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 sont réalisés en une seule pièce à partir d'une tige 1a 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 are made in one piece from a rod 1a bent and curved.

La tige 1a est préférablement réalisée en acier et est insérée dans des coques plastiques 6, 7 ou dans un surmoulage pour donner la forme définitive de la demi-arche.The rod 1a is preferably made of steel and is inserted in plastic shells 6, 7 or in an overmoulding to give the final shape of the half-arch.

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, par exemple une plaque métallique, est fixée sur l'axe ou poutre 5a par deux vis 3 se vissant dans des alésages 8 filetés réalisés dans l'axe 5a.The plate 5b, for example a metal plate, is fixed on the axis or beam 5a by two screws 3 screwed into threaded bores 8 made in the axis 5a.

Entre la plaque 5b et la poutre 5a est emprisonnée une plaquette 5c réalisant avec un capot inférieur 5d une partie de coque donnant son volume au plancher.Between the plate 5b and the beam 5a is trapped a plate 5c forming with a lower cover 5d a shell portion giving its volume to the floor.

Toujours selon ce mode de réalisation, une branche 2 comportant un corps en matière élastomère est fixée à l'extrémité de la plaque plancher 5b opposée à la demi-arche 1 a.Still according to this embodiment, a branch 2 comprising a body of elastomeric material is attached to the end of the floor plate 5b opposite the half-arch 1 a.

Pour sa fixation la branche comporte une patte 11 s'étendant sous la plaquette 5c pour être fixée avec la plaque 5b.For its fixing the branch comprises a lug 11 extending under the wafer 5c to be fixed with the plate 5b.

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.

L'étrier est représenté en partie assemblé à la figure 2.The stirrup is shown partly assembled to the figure 2 .

En premier, la plaque 5b est assemblée avec la plaquette 5c pour faire ressortir un anneau 9.First, the plate 5b is assembled with the plate 5c to bring out a ring 9.

Ensuite, la poutre 5a est glissée au travers d'un trou à l'extrémité de la plaquette 5c, entre des butées 10 puis au travers de l'anneau 9 et les vis 3 sont mises en place pour assujettir les éléments de plancher 5b, 5c sur la poutre 5a.Then, the beam 5a is slid through a hole at the end of the wafer 5c, between abutments 10 and then through the ring 9 and the screws 3 are put in place to secure the floor elements 5b, 5c on the beam 5a.

La branche 2 est alors fixée au moyen de sa patte 11 et de la vis 12.The branch 2 is then fixed by means of its lug 11 and the screw 12.

Pour terminer le plancher, on pose le capot inférieur 5d et un tapis antidérapant 5e.To finish the floor, we put the lower cover 5d and a non-slip mat 5th.

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.

L'étrier assemblé est représenté en vue de face à la figure 3 The assembled stirrup is shown in front view of the figure 3

Il comprend une unique demi-arche 1 de liaison entre une première extrémité d'un plancher 5 de l'étrier et un oeillet 4 de montage de l'étrier sur une étrivière et un moyen de maintien du pied dans l'étrier adapté à permettre un dégagement rapide du pied de l'étrier en cas de chute, le moyen de maintien étant constitué par la branche 2 comportant une extrémité proximale 2a solidaire d'une seconde extrémité du plancher et une extrémité distale libre en regard de la demi-arche au niveau de l'oeillet.It comprises a single half-arch 1 connecting a first end of a floor 5 of the stirrup and an eyelet 4 mounting the stirrup on a stirrup stirrup and a foot holding means in the stirrup adapted to allow a quick release of the foot of the stirrup in case of a fall, the holding means being constituted by the branch 2 having a proximal end 2a secured to a second end of the floor and a free distal end facing the half-arch to level of the eyelet.

Avantageusement, la branche 2 est courbée à la manière d'une seconde demi-arche et d'une longueur telle qu'elle arrive pratiquement au niveau de l'oeillet à une distance de quelques millimètres à quelques centimètres de la demi-arche 1 pour limiter au maximum les risques d'accrochage de l'extrémité de la branche dans un objet ou obstacle à côté desquels passe le cavalier.Advantageously, the branch 2 is curved in the manner of a second half-arch and of a length such that it comes practically at the level of the eyelet at a distance of a few millimeters to a few centimeters from the half-arch 1 for limit as much as possible the risk of hanging the extremity of the branch in an object or obstacle beside which the rider passes.

En effet, les étriers de sécurité à branche externe courte ont pour inconvénient de rendre l'utilisation de l'étrier malaisée car l'étrier, en fonctionnant comme un crochet, peut se prendre dans divers objets lorsque le cheval sellé est marché en main avec les étriers pendant librement sur la selle.Indeed, the safety stirrups short outer branch have the disadvantage of making the use of the caliper difficult because the stirrup, in working like a hook, can be taken in various objects when the saddled horse is walked in hand with the stirrups hanging freely on the saddle.

La branche allongée qui vient se refermer sur la demi-arche à la manière d'une seconde demi-arche et vient se refermer sur la demi-arche a proximité de l'oeillet résout ce problème.The elongated branch which is closed on the half arch in the manner of a second half-arch and is closed on the half-arch near the eyelet solves this problem.

La figure 4 représente l'étrier vu du côté de la branche 2 et permet de constater que l'extrémité distale 2b de la branche se termine au niveau du bas de l'oeillet 4.The figure 4 represents the stirrup seen from the side of the branch 2 and shows that the distal end 2b of the branch ends at the bottom of the eyelet 4.

La partie basse formant l'extrémité proximale 2a de la branche est épaisse au niveau de la jonction de la branche et du plancher et la branche va en s'affinant plus on s'éloigne de l'extrémité proximale 2a pour aller vers l'extrémité distale 2b.The lower part forming the proximal end 2a of the branch is thick at the junction of the branch and the floor and the branch is refined as one moves away from the proximal end 2a to go towards the end. distal 2b.

La branche est réalisée dans une matière relativement souple telle qu'un élastomère et sa raideur locale est déterminée par son épaisseur.The branch is made of a relatively flexible material such as an elastomer and its local stiffness is determined by its thickness.

La partie basse de la branche à partir de son extrémité proximale constitue un premier segment 21 rigide de hauteur proche de la hauteur d'un pied chaussé.The lower part of the branch from its proximal end constitutes a rigid first segment 21 of height close to the height of a foot shod.

La figure 5A représente cette partie basse en coupe.The Figure 5A represents this lower part in section.

Elle comporte selon l'exemple un insert métallique qui se termine par la patte 11 sortant de la branche pour permettre sa fixation sur le plancher.It comprises according to the example a metal insert which ends with the lug 11 coming out of the branch to allow its attachment to the floor.

Cet insert métallique qui rend la partie basse de la branche totalement rigide peut notamment se prolonger sur la hauteur du premier segment.This metal insert which makes the lower part of the branch completely rigid can in particular extend over the height of the first segment.

La rigidité du premier segment permet d'assurer que le cavalier ne perdra pas ses étriers intempestivement.The rigidity of the first segment ensures that the rider will not lose his stirrups untimely.

Selon un aspect de l'invention, la branche comporte un deuxième segment 22 flexible dans au moins une première direction.According to one aspect of the invention, the branch comprises a second flexible segment 22 in at least a first direction.

Le deuxième segment est plus particulièrement détaillé aux figures 5a et 5b.The second segment is more particularly detailed at Figures 5a and 5b .

Il comporte des moyens 13, 14 adaptés pour rendre la branche flexible dans une direction arrière B par rapport au sens d'introduction du pied du cavalier dans l'étrier et raide dans une direction opposée avant A.It comprises means 13, 14 adapted to make the flexible leg in a rear direction B with respect to the direction of insertion of the rider's foot into the stirrup and steep in an opposite direction before A.

L'effet de cette configuration est représenté aux figures 6A et 6B.The effect of this configuration is shown in Figures 6A and 6B .

La figure 6A représente le cavalier avec son pied dans l'étrier et en appui vers l'avant.The Figure 6A represents the rider with his foot in the stirrup and pressing forward.

Dans cette configuration, le cou de pied du cavalier est en appui contre la branche dont la constitution est faite pour résister à cet appui et retenir le pied du cavalier.In this configuration, the rider's instep is in support against the branch, the constitution of which is made to withstand this support and hold the foot of the rider.

La figure 6B représente le cavalier en train de chuter.The Figure 6B represents the rider falling.

Dans ce cas, l'avant du pied du cavalier se redresse et pousse sur la branche de l'avant vers l'arrière dans la direction B.In this case, the front of the rider's foot is straight up and pushes on the branch from front to back in the B direction.

La configuration de la branche est telle qu'elle fléchit et libère le pied du cavalier.The configuration of the branch is such that it flexes and frees the foot of the rider.

De retour à la figure 5B, les moyens adaptés à la fonction différentiée de maintien vers l'avant et d'échappement vers l'arrière comportent selon l'exemple représenté au moins une fente 13 sur une partie avant de la branche par rapport à un axe α passant par les extrémités proximale et distale de la branche, la partie avant correspondant à l'avant du pied du cavalier.Back to the Figure 5B , the means adapted to the differentiated function of holding forward and backward exhaust comprise according to the example shown at least one slot 13 on a front portion of the branch relative to an axis α passing through the ends proximal and distal branch, the front part corresponding to the front of the foot of the rider.

La fente partant d'un bord avant de la branche débouche dans une découpe 14 centrée sur l'axe α.The slot starting from a front edge of the branch opens into a cutout 14 centered on the axis α.

La découpe 14 est agencée en sorte de réaliser une zone de raideur réduite permettant le fléchissement de la branche 2 de l'avant vers l'arrière.The cutout 14 is arranged so as to provide a zone of reduced stiffness allowing the deflection of the branch 2 from front to rear.

La zone de raideur réduite correspond au pontet 15 opposé à la fente 13 par rapport à l'axe α.The zone of reduced stiffness corresponds to the bridge 15 opposite the slot 13 with respect to the axis α.

Le deuxième segment 22 est ainsi conçu de sorte que les bords de la fente 13 s'écartent lors de l'application d'un effort de l'avant vers l'arrière sur l'extrémité distale de la branche ce qui fait fléchir la branche tandis que les bords de la fente en regard viennent en butée sous l'action d'un effort appliqué de l'arrière vers l'avant sur l'extrémité distale de la branche ce qui fait résister la branche.The second segment 22 is thus designed so that the edges of the slot 13 deviate when applying a force from the front to the back on the distal end of the branch which bends the branch while the edges of the slot facing abut under the action of a force applied from the back to the front on the distal end of the branch which resists the branch.

Selon l'exemple de la figure 4, la branche comprend trois fentes débouchant chacune dans une découpe 14.According to the example of the figure 4 , the branch comprises three slots each opening into a cutout 14.

Selon l'exemple des figures 5A, 5B la branche comporte deux fentes 13 d'adaptation de raideur débouchant chacune dans une découpe 14, une troisième découpe 14 non pourvue de fente formant uniquement une zone d'assouplissement de la branche dans le sens transversal perpendiculaire à la direction avant arrière.According to the example of Figures 5A, 5B the branch comprises two slots 13 of stiffness adaptation each opening into a blank 14, a third cut 14 not provided with a slot forming only a softening zone of the branch in the transverse direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction.

Dans ce cadre, les ouvertures 14 apportent en outre une flexibilité de la branche dans une direction latérale ce qui favorise la libération du pied du cavalier en cours de chute.In this context, the openings 14 also provide a flexibility of the branch in a lateral direction which promotes the release of the foot of the rider during a fall.

En effet, l'étrier pouvant tourner autour de l'étrivière pendant la chute du cavalier, il est nécessaire que la branche puisse fléchir aussi latéralement.Indeed, the stirrup can rotate around the stirrup leather during the fall of the rider, it is necessary that the branch can also bend laterally.

Le choix de deux découpes associées à deux fentes et d'une découpe sans fente adapte la souplesse dans la direction arrière et la souplesse dans la direction latérale.The choice of two cuts associated with two slots and a cut without slot adapts the flexibility in the rear direction and the flexibility in the lateral direction.

Cette configuration est optimisée pour des adultes par exemple.This configuration is optimized for adults for example.

Le troisième segment 23 en partie haute de la branche est terminé par l'extrémité distale 2b.The third segment 23 in the upper part of the branch is terminated by the distal end 2b.

Il peut être de raideur intermédiaire entre la raideur du premier segment et la raideur du deuxième segment ou rester d'une raideur proche de celle du premier segment.It may be intermediate stiffness between the stiffness of the first segment and the stiffness of the second segment or remain of a stiffness close to that of the first segment.

Pour améliorer l'intégration de la branche et du plancher, la branche comporte au niveau de son extrémité proximale 2a un pied formant un embout d'extrémité du plancher dont sort la patte 11 de fixation sur le plancher.To improve the integration of the branch and the floor, the branch has at its proximal end 2a a foot forming an end end of the floor which leaves the bracket 11 on the floor.

Un avantage de ne pas raccorder la branche à la demi-arche ou à l'oeillet est de réaliser un étrier confortable du fait qu'il possède une certaine souplesse.An advantage of not connecting the branch to the half-arch or the eyelet is to achieve a comfortable stirrup because it has a certain flexibility.

Pour obtenir cette souplesse, la demi-arche, l'oeillet et la poutre du plancher sont avantageusement réalisés à partir d'une unique tige en acier ressort.To obtain this flexibility, the half-arch, the eyelet and the floor beam are advantageously made from a single spring steel rod.

Selon l'exemple de la figure 3, l'oeillet est pourvu d'une fente 20 d'introduction d'une étrivière ce qui rend son utilisation très aisée, la combinaison d'un oeillet ouvert avec une branche externe de sécurité comme définie par la présente invention permet l'utilisation de l'étrier sur une selle à étrivières fixes.According to the example of the figure 3 , the eyelet is provided with a slot 20 for introducing a stirrup stirrer which makes its use very easy, the combination of an open eyelet with an external safety branch as defined by the present invention allows the use of the stirrup on a saddle with fixed stirrup leathers.

L'invention n'est pas limitée à l'exemple représenté et notamment il est possible d'adapter l'épaisseur de la branche et le nombre de découpes et de fentes en fonction du poids des cavaliers tout en restant dans le cadre de l'invention revendiquée.The invention is not limited to the example shown and in particular it is possible to adapt the thickness of the branch and the number of cuts and slots according to the weight of the riders while remaining within the scope of the claimed invention.

Claims (10)

  1. Horse riding stirrup comprising a single half-arch (1) linking a first end of a floor (5) of the stirrup and an eyelet (4) for mounting the stirrup on a stirrup leather and a means for securing the foot in the stirrup suitable for allowing a rapid disengagement of the foot from the stirrup in the event of a fall, the securing means consisting of a curved elongate branch (2) comprising a proximal end (2a) attached to a second end of the floor (5) and a free distal end (2b), characterized in that the curved elongate branch comprises, from its proximal end, a first rigid segment (21), a second segment (22) comprising means (13, 14) arranged so as to produce at least one area of reduced stiffness allowing the branch (2) to bend in at least a first direction and a third segment (23) terminated by the free distal end (2b).
  2. Stirrup according to Claim 1, characterized in that the means (13, 14) are arranged so as to render the branch flexible in a backward direction (B) in relation to the direction of introduction of the foot of the horse rider into the stirrup and stiff in a forward opposite direction (A).
  3. Stirrup according to Claim 2, characterized in that the means arranged so as to render the branch flexible in the backward direction (B) comprise at least one slot (13) on at least a front part of the branch relative to an axis (α) passing through the proximal and distal ends of the branch, the front part corresponding to the front of the foot of the horse rider, the edges facing the slot (13) moving apart upon the application of a force from front to back on the distal end of the branch which causes the branch to bend backwards whereas the edges facing the slot abut together under the action of a force applied from back to front on the distal end of the branch which causes the branch to resist in the forward direction.
