Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a stirrup for use in horseback riding.
  • FR2663017 A1 discloses a stirrup for use in horseback riding.
  • An object of the present invention is therefore to alleviate the abovementioned problems and provide a safe, secure and easy-to-use stirrup for use in horseback riding.
  • Such a stirrup allows easy connection and disconnection of the stirrup leather to the stirrup, as well as reduces the risk of a rider's boot being stuck in the stirrup during an accident.
  • a stirrup for use in horseback riding comprising a stirrup tread body; an arch-shaped side piece extending from said stirrup tread body, characterized in that said arch-shaped side piece comprises two members extending upwardly from a base of the stirrup tread body to a point where the two members meet and join each other, and wherein said arch-shaped side piece defines an opening between said two members, or in that said arch-shaped side piece comprises a single continuous member extending upwardly from the base of the stirrup tread body to a top-most point, where the single continuous member turns back down and returns to the stirrup tread body, the arch of which body defines an opening, the stirrup being further characterized in that said opening is divided into an upper portion and a lower portion by at least one protrusion extending from one side of said arch-shaped side piece towards the other side of said arch-shaped side piece, such that said at least one protrusion defines a gap connecting said lower portion with said upper portion of said opening, thereby
  • stirrup may be referred to as a safety stirrup.
  • Arch-shaped is to be understood as meaning that said side piece comprises two members extending upwardly from a base of the stirrup tread body to a point where the two members meet and join each other. The space between the two members is the opening which said arch-shaped side piece defines.
  • the arch-shaped side piece may be seen as comprising a single continuous member extending upwardly from the base of the stirrup tread body to a top-most point, where the single continuous member turns back down and returns to the stirrup tread body, the arch of which body defines an opening.
  • Arch-shaped is to be understood as including also the shape of flat arches and triangular arches.
  • the entire or at least a portion of said at least one elongated member of said arch-shaped side piece is curved.
  • At least a portion of said at least one elongated member of said arch-shaped side piece is straight except for where it bends at substantially non-rounded corners, thus forming an arch.
  • the two members of the arch-shaped side piece extend in a curved geometric plane.
  • Said cured geometric plane may for example be curved so as to extend over said stirrup tread body.
  • the arch-shaped side piece may be provided at a perpendicular angle to an upper surface of said stirrup tread body at the area where the two meet, and curve inwards over said stirrup tread body. This allows for better balance of the stirrup when a stirrup leather is connected to said arch-shaped side piece.
  • the two members of the arch-shaped side piece extend in a geometric plane that is angled relative to a surface normal of an upper surface of said stirrup tread body.
  • Said geometric plane may for example be angled over said stirrup tread body.
  • the arch-shaped side piece may be angled inwards over said stirrup tread body, thus providing better balance of the stirrup when a stirrup leather is connected to said arch-shaped side piece.
  • said stirrup tread body and said arch-shaped side piece are integrally formed in one piece. This allows for a more robust construction, with fewer joints that run the risk of breaking. Furthermore, having fewer joints, cracks and crevices at the surface of the stirrup provides for a surface to which less dirt may adhere, making for a stirrup that is easier to keep clean.
  • the lower portion of the opening is at least 3 times the size of the upper portion of the opening, preferably at least 4 times the size, most preferably at least 5 times the size. This allows for simple insertion of the stirrup leather and the stirrup leather buckle into the lower portion of the opening, and a secure and reliable retention of the stirrup leather buckle in the upper portion of the opening.
  • a cross-sectional area of said upper portion of the opening is smaller than 600 mm 2 , preferably smaller than 500 mm 2 , most preferably smaller than 400 mm 2 .
  • the largest dimension of said upper portion of said opening is smaller than 35 mm, preferably smaller than 30 mm, most preferably smaller than 25 mm. This means that both the width and the height of the upper portion of the opening are smaller than 35 mm, preferably smaller than 30 mm, or most preferably smaller than 25 mm. This prevents a stirrup leather buckle from passing through the upper portion of the opening, due to the opening being too small for the buckle to fit therethrough. Thus, a secure retention of the stirrup on the stirrup leather is achieved.
  • said stirrup tread body comprises a ledge or ridge arranged on an opposite side of said arch-shaped side piece, for keeping the boot of a rider on the stirrup tread body.
  • Said ledge or ridge may for example extend upwardly in a perpendicular direction to an upper surface of said stirrup tread body.
  • said stirrup tread body comprises a magnetic system comprising at least one magnetic member for attracting a magnetic boot member, such as a magnetic insole or an integrated magnetic member of a riding boot.
  • said magnetic system is a Halbach array comprising a plurality of magnetic members.
  • the magnetic field may be directed away from a lower portion of the stirrup tread body and instead focused towards an upper surface of the same.
  • said magnetic system comprises a backer plate arranged between said magnetic system and said stirrup tread body.
  • said stirrup tread body comprises a stirrup tread cover arranged on top of said magnetic system. This further reduces the risk of a rider losing grip of the stirrup and also protects the magnetic system from the environment.
  • said stirrup tread body has a first lateral side and a second lateral side that is opposite said first lateral side, and wherein said arch-shaped side piece extends from said first lateral side and said stirrup is open from said second lateral side.
  • Said stirrup tread body may be oval, elliptical, rectangular, or having another elongated shape, when viewed from a top-down perspective.
  • the stirrup tread body has a first and a second lateral side, these being the short sides of the stirrup tread body as viewed from above.
  • a first and a second end of said arch-shaped side piece are connected to a first lateral side of said stirrup tread body.
  • said first and said second member of the arch-shaped side piece both extend from a first lateral side of said stirrup tread body.
  • said at least one protrusion does not extend all the way from one side of said arch-shaped side piece to the other side.
  • said at least one protrusion and one side of said arch-shaped side piece jointly defines a gap connecting said lower portion with said upper portion of said opening, thereby allowing a portion of a stirrup leather to be passed therethrough.
  • said opening is divided into said upper portion and said lower portion by two protrusions extending from a respective side of said arch-shaped, said protrusions jointly defining a gap connecting said lower portion with said upper portion of said opening, thereby allowing a portion of a stirrup leather to be passed therethrough.
  • the respective end surfaces of said two protrusions are arranged at parallel angles, said angle being such that the gap defined by said protrusions is angled relative to a plane that is perpendicular to said stirrup tread body and which extends from a first lateral side to a second lateral side of said stirrup tread body.
  • the respective end surfaces of said two protrusions are parallel. Additionally or alternatively, the respective end surfaces of said two protrusions are not perpendicular to a longitudinal extension of each respective protrusion. For example, the respective end surfaces of said two protrusions are angled at least 10° with respect to a respective geometric plane that is perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of each one of said protrusions, preferably at least 20°, or most preferably at least 30°.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a stirrup 1 according to one aspect of the present invention.
  • the stirrup comprises a stirrup tread body 30 for receiving the boot of a rider, the stirrup tread body 30 having a first lateral side 31 and a second lateral side 33, as well as a front side 35 and a rear side 37 arranged between the two lateral sides 31, 33.
  • the stirrup 1 further comprises an arch-shaped side piece 50 extending from the stirrup tread body 30.
  • the stirrup tread body 30 and the arch-shaped side piece 50 are integrally formed in one piece, thereby providing a smooth product surface with few cracks and crevices in which dirt may adhere.
  • the arch-shaped side piece 50 extends from the first lateral side 31 and the stirrup is open from the second lateral side 33. This means that the boot of a rider is free to exit the stirrup 1 by moving from the stirrup tread body 30, on which the boot normally rests, and in a direction towards the second lateral side 33.
  • the stirrup tread body 30 further comprises a ledge 39 arranged on the opposite side of the arch-shaped side piece 50, i.e. the ledge 39 is provided on the second lateral side 33 of the stirrup tread body 30.
  • the ledge helps in keeping the boot of a rider on the stirrup tread body 30 and reduces the risk of slipping out of the stirrup 1 accidentally.
  • the ledge 39 extends upwardly in a perpendicular direction from an upper surface 32 of the stirrup tread body 30.
  • the arch-shaped side piece 50 comprises an elongated member 51 extending from the first lateral side 31 of the stirrup tread body 30 and upwards, to a topmost position where the elongated member 51 curves back down towards the first lateral side 31 of the stirrup tread body 30 and connects thereto.
  • the arch formed by the elongated member 51 defines an opening 53. This opening 53 is divided into an upper portion 531 and a lower portion 532 by two protrusions 55a, 55b extending from either side of the arch which is formed by the elongated member 51.
  • Each one of these protrusions 55a, 55b comprises a respective end surface 551a, 551b that is arranged at a non-perpendicular angle to the longitudinal extension of the protrusions 55a, 55b.
  • the protrusions 55a, 55b extend towards each other without touching, such that a gap 57 is defined between them. This is to be understood as the distance between the respective end surface 551a, 551b of the protrusions 55a, 55b defining the gap 57.
  • This gap 57 connects the upper portion 531 of the opening 53 with the lower portion 532 of the opening 53.
  • this gap 57 allows a portion of a stirrup leather to be passed from the lower portion 532 to the upper portion 531 of the opening 53.
  • the lower portion 532 of the opening 53 is smaller than and the upper portion 531 of said opening 53.
  • the lower portion 532 of the opening 53 is approximately 5 times the size of the upper portion 531 of the opening 53.
  • a rider may easily tread the stirrup leather and the stirrup leather connected thereto through the lower portion 532 of the opening 53, after which the stirrup leather is moved through the gap 57 so that it enter the upper portion 531 of the opening 53.
  • the stirrup leather is held securely in place due to the fact that the stirrup leather buckle is prevented from passing through the upper portion 531 of the opening 53.
  • the width of the upper portion 531 of the opening 53 is smaller than 35 mm. As the height H of the upper portion 531 of the opening 53 is smaller than the width W, the stirrup leather buckle is prevented from passing therethrough.
  • the respective end surfaces 551a, 551b of the two protrusions 55a, 55b are arranged at parallel angles with each other. This means that the gap 57 defined by the protrusions 55a, 55b is angled relative to a reference line C extending from the center of the first lateral side 31 of the stirrup tread body 30 to the center of the second lateral side 33 of the stirrup tread body 30. This is shown in more detail in Figure 2 .
  • Figure 2 is a top view of the stirrup of Figure 1 . Here the parallel angles of the respective end surface of the two protrusions is clearly seen. Compared to the reference line C extending from the center of the first lateral side 31 of the stirrup tread body 30 to the center of the second lateral side 33 of the stirrup tread body 30, the end surfaces are angled approximately 45°.
  • Figure 3 is a front view of the stirrup of Figure 1
  • Figure 4 is a side view of the stirrup of Figure 1 .
  • the stirrup 1 as described in relation to Figure 1 above is shown in these figures as well.
