Description

DOMAINE TECHNIQUE DE L'INVENTIONTECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

La présente invention concerne en général le domaine de l'équipement pour la pratique des sports équestres. Elle vise notamment un étui couvrant l'étrivière améliorant le confort et la sécurité des étrivières traditionnelles permettant de relier, de préférence avec une capacité de réglage en longueur efficace, un étrier à une selle.The present invention generally relates to the field of equipment for the practice of equestrian sports. It relates in particular to a case covering the stirrup leather improving the comfort and safety of traditional stirrup leathers making it possible to connect, preferably with a capacity for effective length adjustment, a stirrup to a saddle.

ETAT DE LA TECHNIQUESTATE OF THE ART

Une étrivière est l'organe qui permet de lier de façon flexible un étrier d'équitation à une selle. Cette étrivière est classiquement dotée d'une courroie comportant à une extrémité une boucle et à l'autre extrémité une série de trous permettant de faire varier la longueur utile, exactement comme une ceinture.A stirrup leather is the device that flexibly attaches a riding stirrup to a saddle. This stirrup leather is conventionally fitted with a strap comprising a buckle at one end and a series of holes at the other end allowing the useful length to be varied, exactly like a belt.

Cette étrivière passe dans une pièce métallique solidaire de la selle appelée le couteau et dans une ouverture oblongue de l'étrier.This stirrup leather passes through a metal part integral with the saddle called the knife and through an oblong opening in the stirrup.

Une étrivière classique comporte donc une épaisseur double à laquelle il faut ajouter, à proximité du couteau, la boucle et l'excédent de longueur de la courroie que l'on dégage d'ordinaire dans un passant situé à l'arrière de la selle.A classic stirrup leather therefore has a double thickness to which must be added, near the knife, the buckle and the excess length of the strap that is usually released in a loop located at the back of the saddle.

Ces épaisseurs occasionnent une gêne pour le cavalier et une usure des selles. En outre, les deux brins de la courroie de ces étrivières traditionnelles ont des mouvements tels qu'ils sont susceptibles de créer des pincements et des frottements qui rendent quasiment obligatoire l'usage des bottes ou des guêtres sous peine de bleus ou blessures.These thicknesses cause discomfort for the rider and wear of the saddles. In addition, the two strands of the belt of these traditional stirrup leathers have movements such that they are likely to create pinching and friction which make it almost compulsory to use boots or gaiters under penalty of bruises or injuries.

Pour éviter cette gêne, il existe des étrivières monobrin, caractérisées en ce qu'elles comprennent, sur une section au moins, une partie monobrin, le plus souvent élargie. Ces étrivières apportent une réelle amélioration mais ne permettent le réglage de la longueur que par un dispositif situé à proximité de l'étrier, ce qui rend sa manipulation incommode pour le cavalier lorsqu'il est à cheval.To avoid this inconvenience, there are single-strand stirrup leathers, characterized in that they include, over at least one section, a single-strand part, most often widened. These stirrup leathers bring a real improvement but only allow adjustment of the length by a device located close to the stirrup, which makes handling it inconvenient for the rider when he is on horseback.

Une solution existante propose une section monobrin large attachée à l'étrier, le réglage de la longueur étant obtenu par une étrivière courte placée entre la section monobrin et le couteau. Cette solution n'est cependant pas compatible avec la plupart des étriers existants.An existing solution proposes a wide solid section attached to the stirrup, the adjustment of the length being obtained by a short stirrup leather placed between the solid section and the knife. However, this solution is not compatible with most existing stirrups.

KR 2015 0004667 U divulgue un dispositif d'équipement de selle d'équitation destiné à coopérer avec une étrivière présentant une configuration en boucle fermée à deux brins s'étendant suivant une direction longitudinale, le dispositif comprenant un étui comprenant une première partie comprenant un premier passage présentant deux extrémités débouchantes. KR 2015 0004667 U discloses a device for fitting a riding saddle intended to cooperate with a stirrup leather having a closed loop configuration with two strands extending in a longitudinal direction, the device comprising a case comprising a first part comprising a first passage having two ends outlets.

C'est donc un objet de l'invention que de pallier au moins en partie les inconvénients des techniques actuelles. Un objet de l'invention est de permettre l'usage d'étrivières classiques tout en améliorant le confort et la sécurité pour le cavalier.It is therefore an object of the invention to overcome at least in part the drawbacks of current techniques. An object of the invention is to allow the use of conventional stirrup leathers while improving comfort and safety for the rider.

Les autres objets, caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront à l'examen de la description suivante et des dessins d'accompagnement. Il est entendu que d'autres avantages peuvent être incorporés.The other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from a review of the following description and the accompanying drawings. It is understood that other benefits may be incorporated.

RESUME DE L'INVENTIONSUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Pour atteindre cet objectif, l'invention, telle que définie dans la revendication 1, prévoit un dispositif d'équipement de selle d'équitation destiné à coopérer avec une étrivière présentant une configuration en boucle fermée à deux brins s'étendant suivant une direction longitudinale, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend un étui comprenant une première partie comprenant un premier passage présentant deux extrémités débouchantes et une deuxième partie comprenant un deuxième passage et deux extrémités débouchantes ; le premier passage et le deuxième passage étant destinés à recevoir au moins un des deux brins de l'étrivière, la première partie et la deuxième partie étant coulissantes l'une relativement à l'autre.To achieve this objective, the invention, as defined in claim 1, provides a device for fitting a riding saddle intended to cooperate with a stirrup leather having a closed loop configuration with two strands extending in a longitudinal direction. , characterized in that it comprises a case comprising a first part comprising a first passage having two open ends and a second part comprising a second passage and two open ends; the first passage and the second passage being intended to receive at least one of the two strands of the stirrup leather, the first part and the second part being sliding relative to each other.

Le dispositif selon l'invention propose ainsi un étui avantageusement télescopique afin de permettre de placer l'étui à l'endroit nécessaire pour le confort du cavalier. L'étrivière est protégée au moins partiellement par l'étui supprimant le contact direct entre la jambe du cavalier et l'étrivière. Le dispositif permet éventuellement de le descendre au contact de l'étrier pour éliminer les déplacements des étriers en cas de déchaussage involontaire et faciliter le rechaussage, et limiter notamment les risques de rechausser à l'envers.The device according to the invention thus provides an advantageously telescopic case in order to allow the case to be placed in the place necessary for the comfort of the rider. The stirrup leather is at least partially protected by the case eliminating direct contact between the rider's leg and the stirrup leather. The device possibly allows it to be lowered into contact with the stirrup to eliminate movement of the stirrups in the event of involuntary removal and to facilitate re-fitting, and in particular to limit the risks of re-fitting upside down.

DESCRIPTION DÉTAILLÉE DE L'INVENTIONDETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Avant d'entamer une revue détaillée de modes de réalisation de l'invention, sont énoncées ci-après des caractéristiques optionnelles qui peuvent éventuellement être utilisées en association ou alternativement :

  • Avantageusement, les deux extrémités débouchantes du premier passage sont une extrémité libre et une extrémité coopérante destinée à coopérer avec la deuxième partie et les deux extrémités débouchantes du deuxième passage sont une extrémité libre et une extrémité coopérante destinée à coopérer avec la première partie
  • Selon un exemple, la deuxième partie est configurée pour coulisser dans le premier passage de la première partie.
Before starting a detailed review of embodiments of the invention, optional characteristics are set out below which may possibly be used in combination or alternatively:
  • Advantageously, the two open ends of the first passage are a free end and a cooperating end intended to cooperate with the second part and the two open ends of the second passage are a free end and a cooperating intended to cooperate with the first party
  • According to one example, the second part is configured to slide in the first passage of the first part.

Selon un exemple, la première partie et la deuxième partie présentent une mobilité relative suivant la direction longitudinale.According to one example, the first part and the second part have relative mobility in the longitudinal direction.

Avantageusement, la distance entre l'extrémité libre de la première partie et l'extrémité libre de la deuxième partie est variable par le coulissement de la deuxième partie dans et hors du premier passage.Advantageously, the distance between the free end of the first part and the free end of the second part is variable by the sliding of the second part in and out of the first passage.

Selon un exemple, le premier passage et le deuxième passage de l'étui sont configurés pour être traversés uniquement par un des deux brins, le premier brin. Avantageusement, l'autre des deux brins, le deuxième brin est destiné à être agencé derrière 'étui. Les deux brins sont moins contraints et glissent mieux l'un par rapport à l'autre lorsqu'il faut régler la longueur de l'étrivière. Selon un exemple, le dispositif d'équipement de selle d'équitation comprend un organe de maintien, tels un passant, ou une fente, configuré pour maintenir en position le deuxième brin. L'organe de maintien est agencé à l'extérieur de l'étui, préférentiellement à une extrémité libre de la deuxième partie. Préférentiellement, le passant est agencé à l'extrémité libre de la deuxième partie destinée à coopérer avec l'étrier.According to one example, the first passage and the second passage of the case are configured to be crossed only by one of the two strands, the first strand. Advantageously, the other of the two strands, the second strand is intended to be arranged behind the case. The two strands are less constrained and slide better in relation to each other when it is necessary to adjust the length of the stirrup leather. According to one example, the riding saddle equipment device comprises a holding member, such as a loop or a slot, configured to hold the second strand in position. The holding member is arranged outside the case, preferably at a free end of the second part. Preferably, the loop is arranged at the free end of the second part intended to cooperate with the stirrup.

Selon un exemple, la première partie est plus large que la deuxième partie.According to one example, the first part is wider than the second part.

Selon un exemple, le premier passage présente une largeur décroissante depuis une extrémité libre jusqu'à une extrémité coopérante destinée à être au regard de la deuxième partie.According to one example, the first passage has a decreasing width from a free end to a cooperating end intended to face the second part.

Selon un exemple, la première partie comprend un tronçon de sa longueur de largueur élargie. Le tronçon présente une largeur supérieure à la largeur du reste de la première partie.According to one example, the first part comprises a section of its extended width length. The section has a width greater than the width of the rest of the first part.

Selon un exemple, la deuxième partie est de largeur décroissante depuis une extrémité coopérante destinée à être au regard de la première partie jusqu'à une extrémité libre opposée. Selon un exemple, le dispositif d'équipement de selle d'équitation comprend un organe de liaison de l'étui destiné à assurer la liaison entre l'étui et la selle, un couteau de selle ou une partie supérieure de l'étrivière. L'organe de liaison est destiné à éviter que l'étui ne glisse. L'organe de liaison peut être de longueur réglable ou non.According to one example, the second part is of decreasing width from a cooperating end intended to face the first part to an opposite free end. According to one example, the riding saddle equipment device comprises a connecting member of the sheath intended to ensure the connection between the sheath and the saddle, a saddle knife or an upper part of the stirrup leather. The connecting member is intended to prevent the case from slipping. The connecting member may or may not be of adjustable length.

Selon un exemple, l'étui est en cuir naturel ou végétal.According to one example, the case is made of natural or vegetable leather.

Selon un exemple, l'étui est au moins deux fois plus large que la largeur de l'étrivière sur au moins un tronçon de sa longueur.According to one example, the sheath is at least twice as wide as the width of the stirrup leather over at least a section of its length.

Selon un exemple, l'étrivière est en tissu polymère, par exemple un polyester enduit de plastique haute qualité.According to one example, the stirrup leather is made of polymer fabric, for example a polyester coated with high quality plastic.

Selon un exemple, la selle d'équitation équipée d'au moins un système comprend un étrier agencé à l'extrémité inférieure de l'étrivière.According to one example, the riding saddle equipped with at least one system comprises a stirrup arranged at the lower end of the stirrup leather.

Selon un exemple, l'étui est configuré pour pouvoir s'étendre au moins entre une boucle d'étrivière et l'extrémité inférieure de l'étrivière destinée à recevoir l'étrier.According to one example, the sheath is configured to be able to extend at least between a stirrup leather loop and the lower end of the stirrup leather intended to receive the stirrup.

Selon une possibilité, l'étui présente une première surface externe et une deuxième surface externe de couleurs différentes, de préférence respectivement noire et marron, et dans lequel l'étui est configuré pour être positionnable de manière réversible de sorte à exposer vers l'extérieur soit la première surface externe, soit la deuxième surface externe.According to one possibility, the case has a first external surface and a second external surface of different colors, preferably black and brown respectively, and in which the case is configured to be reversibly positionable so as to expose outwards either the first outer surface or the second outer surface.

Dans la description qui suit, lorsque l'on fait référence à des qualificatifs de position absolue, tels que les termes "avant", "arrière", "haut", "bas", "gauche", "droite", ou relative, tels que les termes "dessus", "dessous", "supérieur", "inférieur", ou à des qualificatifs d'orientation, tels que les termes "horizontal", "vertical", "à l'aplomb de", il est fait référence à l'orientation des figures, correspondant en pratique à l'orientation de l'invention lors de son utilisation.In the following description, when referring to absolute position qualifiers, such as "front", "back", "top", "bottom", "left", "right", or relative, such as "above", "below", "upper", "lower" , or to qualifiers of orientation, such as the terms "horizontal", "vertical", "straight from", reference is made to the orientation of the figures, corresponding in practice to the orientation of the invention when using it.

Sauf précision contraire, les expressions "approximativement", "sensiblement", et "de l'ordre de" signifient à 10% près, de préférence à 5% près.Unless specified otherwise, the expressions “approximately”, “substantially”, and “of the order of” mean to within 10%, preferably within 5%.

La figure 1 illustre une selle 1 qui peut, de manière conventionnelle, présenter une portion d'assise apte à être mise en appui sur le dos de l'animal et deux quartiers 28 s'étendant au niveau des flancs de l'animal depuis la partie d'assise en direction des pattes. La selle 1 présentée est équipée, de part et d'autre des quartiers 28, d'étriers 3 permettant au cavalier d'y reposer les pieds. La liaison mécanique entre la selle 1 et les étriers 3 est assurée au travers d'une étrivière comprenant une sangle 5 s'étendant sensiblement depuis une portion de la selle située au niveau ou légèrement en deçà de la partie d'assise et le niveau de hauteur correspondant aux étriers 3.There figure 1 illustrates a saddle 1 which can, in a conventional manner, have a seat portion capable of being supported on the back of the animal and two quarters 28 extending at the level of the flanks of the animal from the part of sitting towards the legs. The saddle 1 presented is equipped, on either side of the quarters 28, with stirrups 3 allowing the rider to rest his feet there. The mechanical connection between the saddle 1 and the stirrups 3 is ensured through a stirrup leather comprising a strap 5 extending substantially from a portion of the saddle located at or slightly below the seat part and the level of height corresponding to stirrups 3.

Selon l'invention, l'étrivière comprend une seule sangle 5 présentant une configuration en boucle fermée à deux brins 8, 9 s'étendant suivant une direction longitudinale. L'étrivière est dite à deux brins 8, 9. La sangle 5 comprend à une extrémité une boucle 7 et à l'autre extrémité, dite extrémité libre 31, une série de trous 29 permettant de faire varier la longueur utile, exactement comme une ceinture. L'extrémité libre 31 dépassant de la boucle, une fois la sangle 5 en configuration boucle fermée est nommée excédent. L'étrivière comprend donc un premier brin 8 et un deuxième brin 9. Les deux brins 8 et 9 se superposent en formant à leur extrémité des virages dont un premier virage 16 en partie inférieure 51 et un deuxième virage 17 en partie supérieure 52. La sangle 5 comporte une partie inférieure 51, qui peut être raccordée à l'étrier 3. Par exemple, l'étrier 3 est équipé d'un oeil 27 au travers duquel l'extrémité libre 31 de la sangle 5 peut être introduite en formant un premier virage 16 servant à solidariser la sangle 5 dans l'œil 27. Suivant une possibilité non limitative, l'œil 27 et le corps de l'étrier 3 coopèrent de manière amovible ; on peut en particulier former un oeil 27 configuré pour se désolidariser automatiquement du corps de l'étrier 3 au-delà d'un seuil d'effort donné et/ou au-delà d'un angle prédéterminé formé entre la sangle 5 et l'étrier 3. On peut ainsi former un dispositif éjectable augmentant la sécurité du cavalier en cas de chute. L'invention est particulièrement adaptée aux étriers orientés perpendiculairement au plan longitudinal de la sangle de l'étrivière par exemple de type vendu sous la marque Rid'Up®.According to the invention, the stirrup leather comprises a single strap 5 having a closed loop configuration with two strands 8, 9 extending in a longitudinal direction. The stirrup leather is said to have two strands 8, 9. The strap 5 comprises at one end a loop 7 and at the other end, called the free end 31, a series of holes 29 making it possible to vary the useful length, exactly like a belt. The free end 31 protruding from the loop, once the strap 5 is in the closed loop configuration, is called surplus. The stirrup leather therefore comprises a first strand 8 and a second strand 9. The two strands 8 and 9 are superimposed by forming bends at their end, including a first bend 16 in the lower part 51 and a second bend 17 in the upper part 52. The strap 5 comprises a lower part 51, which can be connected to stirrup 3. For example, stirrup 3 is equipped with an eye 27 through which the free end 31 of strap 5 can be introduced, forming a first bend 16 serving to secure the strap 5 in the eye 27. According to a non-limiting possibility, the eye 27 and the body of the stirrup 3 cooperate in a removable manner; it is possible in particular to form an eye 27 configured to automatically separate from the body of the stirrup 3 beyond a given force threshold and/or beyond a predetermined angle formed between the strap 5 and the stirrup 3. It is thus possible to form an ejectable device increasing the safety of the rider in the event of a fall. The invention is particularly suitable for stirrups oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal plane of the strap of the stirrup leather, for example of the type sold under the Rid'Up ® brand.

La partie de la sangle 5 opposée à la partie inférieure 51 correspond à sa partie supérieure 52. C'est au niveau de la partie supérieure 52 que la sangle 5 est raccordée à la selle 1.The part of the strap 5 opposite the lower part 51 corresponds to its upper part 52. It is at the level of the upper part 52 that the strap 5 is connected to the saddle 1.

Au niveau de la partie supérieure 52 de la sangle 5, la selle 1 est équipée au niveau de chaque flanc 28 d'un couteau 6 coopérant avec la partie supérieure 52. Un tel couteau 6 est particulièrement visible aux figures 2 et 3, le couteau 6 est un corps, par exemple de nature métallique, comprenant une partie d'accroche permettant la fixation sur la selle 1. En deçà de la partie d'accroche, cette dernière et raccordée par une branche formant une zone en crochet à la sangle par un virage 17 de la sangle 5. Avantageusement, la branche comporte une extrémité distale libre définissant, avec la partie d'accroche, une ouverture latérale par laquelle l'étrivière peut être introduite ou extraite. On comprend que le couteau 6 a pour fonction de suspendre l'étrivière dans une position d'utilisation de la selle 1. En particulier, le poids de la partie basse de l'ensemble composé par l'étrivière et par l'étrier 3, ainsi que les efforts de traction sur la sangle 5 générés par le cavalier sont transmis à la selle 1 au moins majoritairement, mais de préférence exclusivement par le couteau 6.At the level of the upper part 52 of the strap 5, the saddle 1 is equipped at the level of each side 28 with a knife 6 cooperating with the upper part 52. Such a knife 6 is particularly visible to figure 2 And 3 , the knife 6 is a body, for example of a metallic nature, comprising a gripping part allowing attachment to the saddle 1. Below the gripping part, the latter is connected by a branch forming a hooked zone to the strap by a bend 17 of the strap 5. Advantageously, the branch has a free distal end defining, with the attachment part, a side opening through which the stirrup leather can be introduced or extracted. It is understood that the function of the knife 6 is to suspend the stirrup leather in a position of use of the saddle 1. In particular, the weight of the lower part of the assembly composed of the stirrup leather and the stirrup 3, as well as the tensile forces on the strap 5 generated by the rider are transmitted to the saddle 1 at least mainly, but preferably exclusively by the knife 6.

Le premier brin 8 et le deuxième brin 9 de l'étrivière se superposent et s'étendent longitudinalement, c'est-à-dire suivant une direction longitudinale 30 entre le couteau 6 et l'étrier 3. Lorsque le cavalier monte, des mouvements des étriers entrainent un mouvement des deux brins 8, 9 de l'étrivière pouvant créer des pincements et des frottements qui rendent quasiment obligatoire l'usage des bottes ou des guêtres.The first strand 8 and the second strand 9 of the stirrup leather overlap and extend longitudinally, that is to say in a longitudinal direction 30 between the knife 6 and the stirrup 3. When the rider rides, movements stirrups cause a movement of the two strands 8, 9 of the stirrup leather which can create pinching and friction which make the use of boots or gaiters almost compulsory.

À cet effet, l'invention propose un dispositif d'équipement de selle, tel que défini dans la revendication 1, qui comprend un étui 10 destiné à recouvrir au moins partiellement l'étrivière.To this end, the invention proposes a saddle equipment device, as defined in claim 1, which comprises a case 10 intended to at least partially cover the stirrup leather.

Selon l'invention, l'étui 10 comprend une première partie 11 et une deuxième partie 12. La première partie 11 et la deuxième partie 12 comprennent respectivement un premier passage 13 et un deuxième passage 14. Le premier passage 13 comprend deux extrémités débouchantes, de même que le deuxième passage 14 qui comprend deux extrémités débouchantes. Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, la première partie 11 comprend une extrémité libre 18 et une extrémité coopérante 19. La deuxième partie 12 comprend une extrémité libre 20 et une extrémité coopérante 21. Les extrémités libres 18, 20 sont respectivement opposées aux extrémités coopérantes 19,21. Les extrémités coopérantes 19, 21 sont destinées à coopérer respectivement l'une avec l'autre. Selon l'invention, le premier passage 13 et le deuxième passage 14 sont destinés à recevoir au moins un brin 8, 9 de l'étrivière et préférentiellement uniquement un brin, le premier 8, de la sangle 5 de l'étrivière.According to the invention, the case 10 comprises a first part 11 and a second part 12. The first part 11 and the second part 12 respectively comprise a first passage 13 and a second passage 14. The first passage 13 comprises two open ends, as well as the second passage 14 which comprises two open ends. According to a preferred embodiment, the first part 11 comprises a free end 18 and a cooperating end 19. The second part 12 comprises a free end 20 and a cooperating end 21. The free ends 18, 20 are respectively opposite the cooperating ends 19 ,21. The cooperating ends 19, 21 are intended to cooperate respectively with each other. According to the invention, the first passage 13 and the second passage 14 are intended to receive at least one strand 8, 9 of the stirrup leather and preferably only one strand, the first 8, of the strap 5 of the stirrup leather.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, la première partie 11 et la deuxième partie 12 de l'étui sont deux parties distinctes l'une de l'autre et destinées à coopérer préférentiellement par leurs extrémités coopérantes 19, 21.According to a preferred embodiment, the first part 11 and the second part 12 of the case are two separate parts from each other and intended to cooperate preferentially by their cooperating ends 19, 21.

Selon l'invention, la première partie 11 et la deuxième partie 12 sont coulissantes l'une relativement à l'autre. La première partie 11 et la deuxième partie 12 sont configurées pour coopérer et former un étui télescopique. L'étui présente avantageusement une longueur variable. La longueur de l'étui s'entend de la distance séparant les extrémités libres 18 et 20. Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, la deuxième partie 12 est configurée pour coulisser dans la première partie 11, plus précisément dans le premier passage 13. Avantageusement, la deuxième partie 12 est également configurée pour coulisser autour d'au moins un brin 8, le premier brin 8. La longueur de l'étui 10 est ainsi modifiable en fonction de la longueur de l'étrivière, c'est-à-dire la longueur d'un brin, c'est-à-dire la longueur entre la partie supérieure 52 et la partie inférieure de l'étrivière, la distance entre le couteau 6 et l'étrier 3. Avantageusement, cette longueur variable permet également de positionner l'étui 10 à proximité de l'étrier 3, c'est à dire en partie inférieure 51 de l'étrivière de sorte à rigidifier la liaison avec l'étrier 3 et assurer son positionnement correct qui facilite le chaussage.According to the invention, the first part 11 and the second part 12 slide relative to each other. The first part 11 and the second part 12 are configured to cooperate and form a telescopic case. The case advantageously has a variable length. The length of the case means the distance separating the free ends 18 and 20. According to a preferred embodiment, the second part 12 is configured to slide in the first part 11, more precisely in the first passage 13. Advantageously , the second part 12 is also configured to slide around at least one strand 8, the first strand 8. The length of the case 10 is thus modifiable according to the length of the stirrup leather, that is to say say the length of a strand, that is to say the length between the upper part 52 and the lower part of the stirrup leather, the distance between the knife 6 and the stirrup 3. Advantageously, this variable length also allows to position the case 10 close to the stirrup 3, it is ie in the lower part 51 of the stirrup leather so as to stiffen the connection with the stirrup 3 and ensure its correct positioning which facilitates fitting.

Selon une possibilité les deux parties de l'étui 10 sont mobiles sur l'étrivière suivant la direction longitudinale 30. La première partie 11 et la deuxième partie 12 présentent une mobilité longitudinale relativement à l'étrivière.According to one possibility, the two parts of the case 10 are movable on the stirrup leather in the longitudinal direction 30. The first part 11 and the second part 12 have longitudinal mobility relative to the stirrup leather.

Avantageusement, la première partie 11 est configurée pour coulisser autour de la deuxième partie 12. Avantageusement, la première partie 11 est également configurée pour coulisser autour d'au moins un brin 8, le premier brin 8. Avantageusement, le fait que la première partie 11 coulisse sur l'étrivière permet de positionner la première partie 11 dans une zone non couverte par le petit quartier 2 et de diminuer ainsi les épaisseurs au contact de la jambe du cavalier.Advantageously, the first part 11 is configured to slide around the second part 12. Advantageously, the first part 11 is also configured to slide around at least one strand 8, the first strand 8. Advantageously, the fact that the first part 11 slides on the stirrup leather makes it possible to position the first part 11 in an area not covered by the small quarter 2 and thus to reduce the thicknesses in contact with the rider's leg.

Selon un aspect de l'invention, l'étui 10 est configuré pour être traversé par uniquement un brin de l'étrivière, le premier brin 8. Le deuxième brin 9 ne traverse pas l'étui 10. Le fait que le premier brin 8 soit disposé dans l'étui tandis que le deuxième brin 9 est disposé à l'extérieur de l'étui suffit à limiter les mouvements des deux brins 8, 9 l'un par rapport à l'autre et donc avantageusement à éliminer les risques de pincement et à réduire la rotation de l'étrier. Préférentiellement, le deuxième brin 9 est destiné à être agencé entre l'étui 10 et le flanc du cheval. Le deuxième brin 9 est ainsi recouvert par l'étui 10 contenant le premier brin 8.According to one aspect of the invention, the sheath 10 is configured to be crossed by only one strand of the stirrup leather, the first strand 8. The second strand 9 does not cross the sheath 10. The fact that the first strand 8 is disposed in the case while the second strand 9 is disposed outside the case is sufficient to limit the movements of the two strands 8, 9 relative to each other and therefore advantageously to eliminate the risk of pinch and reduce caliper rotation. Preferably, the second strand 9 is intended to be arranged between the sheath 10 and the side of the horse. The second strand 9 is thus covered by the case 10 containing the first strand 8.

Selon une possibilité, la première partie 11 comprend une nappe d'un matériau repliée en deux pour former le premier passage 13. Selon une autre possibilité, la première partie 11 comprend deux nappes de matériau superposé entre lesquelles est formé le premier passage 13. Quelle que soit la possibilité, la première partie 11 comprend une première face 23 et une deuxième face 24 solidarisées de manière amovible ou non. Préférentiellement, les deux faces 23, 24 ne peuvent pas se séparer pour ouvrir longitudinalement le premier passage 13. Les deux faces 23, 24 sont collées ou cousues suivant la direction longitudinale 30. Selon une alternative, les deux faces 23, 24 peuvent se séparer pour ouvrir longitudinalement le premier passage 13. Les deux faces 23, 24 sont solidarisées suivant la direction longitudinale 30 par une fixation amovible tels une bande auto-agrippante ou encore des boutons pression. Préférentiellement, une face, la première face 23 également dénommée face externe, est destinée à faire face à la jambe du cavalier tandis que l'autre face, la deuxième également dénommée face externe face 24, est destinée à faire face au flanc du cheval.According to one possibility, the first part 11 comprises a sheet of material folded in two to form the first passage 13. According to another possibility, the first part 11 comprises two layers of superposed material between which the first passage 13 is formed. whatever the possibility, the first part 11 comprises a first face 23 and a second face 24 secured in a removable manner or not. Preferably, the two faces 23, 24 cannot be separated to open the first passage 13 longitudinally. The two faces 23, 24 are glued or sewn in the longitudinal direction 30. Alternatively, the two faces 23, 24 can be separated to open the first passage 13 longitudinally. The two faces 23, 24 are secured along the longitudinal direction 30 by a removable fastener such as a self-gripping band or press studs. Preferably, one face, the first face 23 also called outer face, is intended to face the leg of the rider while the other face, the second face also called outer face 24, is intended to face the side of the horse.

Selon une possibilité, la deuxième partie 12 comprend une nappe d'un matériau repliée en deux pour former le deuxième passage 14. Selon une autre possibilité, la deuxième partie 12 comprend deux nappes de matériau superposé entre lesquelles est formé le deuxième passage 14. Quelle que soit la possibilité, la deuxième partie 12 comprend une première face 25 et une deuxième face 26 solidarisées de manière amovible ou non. Préférentiellement, les deux faces 25, 26 ne peuvent pas se séparer pour ouvrir longitudinalement le deuxième passage 14. Les deux faces 25, 26 sont collées ou cousues suivant la direction longitudinale 30. Selon une alternative, les deux faces 25, 26 peuvent se séparer pour ouvrir longitudinalement le deuxième passage 14. Les deux faces 25, 26 sont solidarisées suivant la direction longitudinale 30 par une fixation amovible tels une bande auto-agrippante ou encore des boutons pression. Préférentiellement, une face, la première face 25 également dénommée face externe, est destinée à faire face à la jambe du cavalier tandis que l'autre face, la deuxième également dénommée face externe face 26, est destinée à faire face au flanc du cheval.According to one possibility, the second part 12 comprises a sheet of material folded in two to form the second passage 14. According to another possibility, the second part 12 comprises two layers of superimposed material between which the second passage 14 is formed. whatever the possibility, the second part 12 comprises a first face 25 and a second face 26 secured in a removable manner or not. Preferably, the two faces 25, 26 cannot be separated to open the second passage 14 longitudinally. The two faces 25, 26 are glued or sewn in the longitudinal direction 30. Alternatively, the two faces 25, 26 can be separated to open the second passage 14 longitudinally. The two faces 25, 26 are joined together in the longitudinal direction 30 by a removable fastener such as a hook-and-loop strip or press studs. Preferably, one face, the first face 25 also called the outer face, is intended to face the leg of the rider while the other face, the second also called external face face 26, is intended to face the side of the horse.

Selon ces possibilités, la face externe 23 de la première partie 11 et la face externe 25 de la deuxième partie 12 font face à la jambe du cavalier, ces deux faces font face à l'extérieur. Tandis que la face interne 24 de la première partie 11 et la face interne 26 de la deuxième partie 12 font face au flanc du cheval, ces deux faces font face à l'intérieur. Le deuxième brin 9 est destiné à être en contact des faces internes 24, 26 de l'étui 10.According to these possibilities, the external face 23 of the first part 11 and the external face 25 of the second part 12 face the leg of the rider, these two faces face the outside. While the internal face 24 of the first part 11 and the internal face 26 of the second part 12 face the side of the horse, these two faces face the inside. The second strand 9 is intended to be in contact with the internal faces 24, 26 of the case 10.

Selon une possibilité, l'excédent de l'étrivière peut être placé dans ou derrière l'étui 10, préférentiellement en passant par la boucle 7. Cette disposition est avantageusement notamment dans le cas d'étrivière fine et souple par exemple en matière synthétique. Cela permet d'améliorer le traitement de cet excédent qui crée aujourd'hui une gêne par l'angle qu'il forme avec les deux brins actifs de l'étrivière.According to one possibility, the excess of the stirrup leather can be placed in or behind the case 10, preferably passing through the loop 7. This arrangement is advantageously particularly in the case of thin and flexible stirrup leathers, for example made of synthetic material. This makes it possible to improve the treatment of this excess which today creates discomfort by the angle it forms with the two active strands of the stirrup leather.

Selon un mode de réalisation illustré en figure 3, l'étui 10 comprend un organe de maintien 15 en position du deuxième brin 9. L'organe de maintien 15 est avantageusement agencé sur la deuxième partie 12. L'organe de maintien 15 est par exemple agencé à proximité de l'extrémité libre 20 de la deuxième partie 12. L'organe de maintien est par exemple un passant ou une fente, agencé ou formé sur la face interne 26 de la deuxième partie 12. L'organe de maintien permet de maintenir le deuxième brin 9 de manière superposée à l'étui 10. Préférentiellement, l'organe de maintien permet d'éviter le déplacement du deuxième brin 9 latéralement par rapport au premier brin 8. Cette disposition de l'organe de maintien à proximité de l'extrémité inférieure 51 de l'étrivière contribue au maintien en position de l'étrier 3. À titre d'exemple, le passant 15 présente une longueur de l'ordre de 25mm. Le passant est configuré pour permettre le passage d'un brin 9 d'étrivière.According to an embodiment illustrated in picture 3 , the case 10 comprises a member 15 for holding the second strand 9 in position. The holding member 15 is advantageously arranged on the second part 12. The holding member 15 is for example arranged close to the free end 20 of the second part 12. The holding member is for example a loop or a slot, arranged or formed on the internal face 26 of the second part 12. The holding member makes it possible to hold the second strand 9 in a superimposed manner to the case 10. Preferably, the holding member makes it possible to avoid the movement of the second strand 9 laterally relative to the first strand 8. This arrangement of the holding member close to the lower end 51 of the Stirrup leather contributes to keeping the stirrup 3 in position. By way of example, the loop 15 has a length of the order of 25mm. The loop is configured to allow the passage of a strand 9 of stirrup leather.

Selon un mode de réalisation optionnel, l'étui comprend un organe de liaison agencé entre la première partie 11 et la selle 1, un couteau 6 ou encore une partie supérieure de l'étrivière. L'organe de liaison peut-être de longueur variable ou non. L'organe de liaison permet d'assurer le maintien de l'étui en position sur l'étrivière. En pratique, les frottements de l'étui 10 sur l'étrivière et le positionnement des brins 8, 9 notamment dans le passant 15 assurent un maintien en position de l'étui 10 sans nécessiter d'organe de liaison.According to an optional embodiment, the sheath comprises a connecting member arranged between the first part 11 and the saddle 1, a knife 6 or even an upper part of the stirrup leather. The connecting member may or may not be of variable length. The connecting member ensures that the sheath is held in position on the stirrup leather. In practice, the friction of the sheath 10 on the stirrup leather and the positioning of the strands 8, 9 in particular in the loop 15 ensure that the sheath 10 is held in position without requiring a connecting member.

Selon un mode de réalisation, la première partie 11 est plus large que la deuxième partie12. Plus précisément, le premier passage 13 est plus large que le deuxième passage 14. Cela permet à ce que le premier passage 13 reçoive au moins partiellement la deuxième partie 12, et qu'elle puisse y coulisser, et le premier brin 8.According to one embodiment, the first part 11 is wider than the second part 12. More precisely, the first passage 13 is wider than the second passage 14. This allows the first passage 13 to at least partially receive the second part 12, and that it can slide there, and the first strand 8.

Préférentiellement, la première partie 11 comprend le tronçon 22 présentant une largeur supérieure à la largeur du reste de la première partie 11. La première partie 11 présente ainsi un élargissement au niveau du tronçon 22. Le tronçon 22 s'étend sur une partie de la longueur de la première partie 11. Cet élargissement visible sur les figures 2 et 3 notamment, permet d'assurer un confort optimal au cavalier et au cheval en présentant une surface de contact élargie entre le cavalier et le cheval. À titre d'exemple, le tronçon 22 présente une largeur au moins deux fois plus large que la largeur de l'étrivière. Préférentiellement au moins trois fois plus large et selon une possibilité quatre fois plus large. Avantageusement, la première partie 11 étant mobile en translation longitudinale sur l'étrivière, et plus précisément sur le au moins un premier brin 8, le tronçon 22 est positionné par le cavalier à l'endroit souhaité.Preferably, the first part 11 comprises the section 22 having a width greater than the width of the rest of the first part 11. The first part 11 thus has a widening at the level of the section 22. The section 22 extends over part of the length of the first part 11. This widening visible on the figure 2 And 3 in particular, makes it possible to ensure optimum comfort for the rider and the horse by presenting an enlarged contact surface between the rider and the horse. By way of example, the section 22 has a width at least twice as wide as the width of the stirrup leather. Preferably at least three times wider and possibly four times wider. Advantageously, the first part 11 being movable in longitudinal translation on the stirrup leather, and more precisely on the at least one first strand 8, the section 22 is positioned by the rider at the desired location.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, l'étui 10 présente une largeur décroissante depuis une extrémité libre 18 de la première partie 11 jusqu'à l'extrémité libre 20 de la deuxième partie 12. Préférentiellement, la première partie 11 présente une extrémité libre 18 de largeur supérieure à celle de l'extrémité coopérante 21.According to a preferred embodiment, the case 10 has a decreasing width from a free end 18 of the first part 11 to the free end 20 of the second part 12. Preferably, the first part 11 has a free end 18 of width greater than that of the cooperating end 21.

Avantageusement, la deuxième partie 12 présente une extrémité libre 20 de plus faible largeur que celle de l'extrémité coopérante19. Avantageusement, la largeur de l'extrémité coopérante 21 de la deuxième partie 12 est plus large que la largeur du premier passage 13 au niveau de l'extrémité coopérante 19 de la première partie 11. Cette différence de largeur entre le premier passage 13 recevant l'extrémité coopérante 21 de la deuxième partie 12 permet d'assurer que la deuxième partie 12 ne puisse pas se séparer de la première partie 11 par coulissement excessif de la deuxième partie 12 lors de l'allongement de l'étui .10.Advantageously, the second part 12 has a free end 20 of smaller width than that of the cooperating end 19. Advantageously, the width of the cooperating end 21 of the second part 12 is wider than the width of the first passage 13 at the level of the cooperating end 19 of the first part 11. This difference in width between the first passage 13 receiving the cooperating end 21 of the second part 12 ensures that the second part 12 can not separate from the first part 11 by excessive sliding of the second part 12 during the extension of the case .10.

Selon un aspect de l'invention, l'étui 10 est assemblé par l'insertion de la deuxième partie 12 dans la première partie, plus précisément, l'extrémité libre 20 de la deuxième partie 12 est insérée au niveau de l'extrémité libre 18 de la première partie, puis l'extrémité libre 20 de la deuxième partie 12 ressort au niveau de l'extrémité coopérante 19 de la première partie 11. Le déplacement longitudinal selon la direction longitudinale 30 de la deuxième partie 12 est limité en direction de l'extrémité inférieure 51 et de l'étrier 3 grâce à la largeur de l'extrémité coopérante 21 de la deuxième partie 12 qui est supérieure à la largeur de l'extrémité coopérante 19 de la première partie 11, plus précisément du premier passage 13 au niveau de l'extrémité coopérante 19 de la première partie.According to one aspect of the invention, the case 10 is assembled by inserting the second part 12 into the first part, more precisely, the free end 20 of the second part 12 is inserted at the free end 18 of the first part, then the free end 20 of the second part 12 springs at the level of the cooperating end 19 of the first part 11. The longitudinal movement in the longitudinal direction 30 of the second part 12 is limited in the direction of the lower end 51 and of the stirrup 3 thanks to the width of the cooperating end 21 of the second part 12 which is greater than the width of the cooperating end 19 of the first part 11, more precisely of the first passage 13 at the cooperating end 19 of the first part.

Selon un aspect de l'invention, l'étui 10 assemblé est ensuite agencé sur l'étrivière. À cet effet, l'extrémité libre 31 de la sangle 5 est introduite dans l'une des extrémités libres 18,20 de l'étui 10. Préférentiellement, l'extrémité libre 31 de la sangle 5 est introduite dans l'extrémité libre 18 de la première partie 11 puis ressort au niveau de l'extrémité libre 20 de la deuxième partie 12 après avoir traversé le premier passage 13 et le deuxième passage 14. Ensuite, la sangle 5 est fermée pour former une boucle. Préférentiellement, l'extrémité libre 31 de la sangle 5 coopère avec la boucle 7 agencée à l'extrémité libre 31 de la sangle 5 pour fermer celle-ci sous forme de boucle. Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, après que l'extrémité libre 31 de la sangle 5 soit ressortie de la deuxième partie 12, la sangle 5 permet la fixation de l'étrier 3, plus précisément la sangle 5 passe au travers de l'œil 27 de l'étrier 3. Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, l'extrémité libre de la sangle 5 passe au travers de l'organe de maintien 15 plus précisément dans le passant, préférentiellement après la fixation de l'étrier 3.According to one aspect of the invention, the assembled case 10 is then arranged on the stirrup leather. For this purpose, the free end 31 of the strap 5 is introduced into one of the free ends 18,20 of the case 10. Preferably, the free end 31 of the strap 5 is introduced into the free end 18 of the first part 11 then comes out at the level of the free end 20 of the second part 12 after having passed through the first passage 13 and the second passage 14. Then, the strap 5 is closed to form a loop. Preferably, the free end 31 of the strap 5 cooperates with the loop 7 arranged at the free end 31 of the strap 5 to close the latter in the form of a loop. According to a preferred embodiment, after the free end 31 of the strap 5 has emerged from the second part 12, the strap 5 allows the fixing of the stirrup 3, more precisely the strap 5 passes through the eye 27 of the stirrup 3. According to a preferred embodiment, the free end of the strap 5 passes through the holding member 15 more precisely in the loop, preferably after the fixing of the stirrup 3.

À titre d'exemple préféré, l'étui 10 est en cuir naturel ou végétal. Eventuellement, l'étui 10 comporte des faces de couleurs différentes et peuvent être réversibles. Par exemple, une première face peut être noire et l'autre marron, de sorte à s'adapter au mieux à la couleur de la selle du cheval.By way of preferred example, the case 10 is made of natural or vegetable leather. Optionally, the case 10 has faces of different colors and can be reversible. For example, a first side can be black and the other brown, so as to best adapt to the color of the horse's saddle.

Avantageusement, l'étui 10 peut être utilisé de manière réversible en exposant vers l'extérieur l'une ou l'autre de ses deux surfaces externes. Ces dernières sont formées, pour une première d'entre elles, grâce aux premières faces 23, 25 de la première partie et de la deuxième partie de l'étui 10, et pour une deuxième d'entre elles, grâce aux deuxièmes faces 24, 26 de la première partie et de la deuxième partie de l'étui 10. On peut par ailleurs adopter des coloris différents pour chacune des deux surfaces externes de l'étui, de préférence respectivement noire et marron, pour rendre le dispositif aussi adaptable que possible aux différentes couleurs de selle du marché. Les deux parties de l'étui 10 peuvent être conçues de manière symétrique autour d'un plan de jonction au niveau duquel peut s'effectuer la liaison, par exemple cousue, entre des pans de matière, comme du cuir, réalisant les faces des deux parties de l'étui 10. De la sorte, l'étrivière peut très simplement être engagée dans l'étui 10 aussi bien en positionnant la première surface externe de l'étui 10 vers l'extérieur, ou vers l'intérieur. On peut ainsi modifier la couleur apparente de l'étui 10.Advantageously, the case 10 can be used reversibly by exposing outwards either of its two outer surfaces. The latter are formed, for a first of them, thanks to the first faces 23, 25 of the first part and of the second part of the case 10, and for a second of them, thanks to the second faces 24, 26 of the first part and the second part of the case 10. It is also possible to adopt different colors for each of the two outer surfaces of the case, preferably black and brown respectively, to make the device as adaptable as possible. in the different saddle colors on the market. The two parts of the case 10 can be designed symmetrically around a junction plane at the level of which the connection can be made, for example sewn, between sections of material, such as leather, forming the faces of the two parts of the case 10. In this way, the stirrup leather can very simply be engaged in the case 10 both by positioning the first outer surface of the case 10 towards the outside, or towards the inside. It is thus possible to modify the apparent color of the case 10.

L'étui évite totalement le contact direct entre la jambe et les brins de l'étrivière. Même le brin libre qui ne passe que dans le passant ne peut que rester derrière l'étui.The sheath completely avoids direct contact between the leg and the strands of the stirrup leather. Even the free strand which only passes through the loop can only remain behind the case.

À titre d'exemple, l'étrivière est en tissu polymère. La sangle 5 de l'étrivière est préférentiellement un tissu polymère choisi pour être léger, résistant et avantageusement peu épais, pour compenser la présence de l'étui 10. Avantageusement, ce type de tissu glisse correctement dans l'étui 10. Le tissu polymère est par exemple un polyester enduit de plastique haute qualité. À titre d'exemple l'étrivière est en matériau de la marque BioThane®, ou encore en cuir et/ou Nylon®.For example, the stirrup leather is made of polymer fabric. The strap 5 of the stirrup leather is preferably a polymer fabric chosen to be light, resistant and advantageously not very thick, to compensate for the presence of the sheath 10. Advantageously, this type of fabric slides correctly in the sheath 10. The polymer fabric is for example a high quality plastic coated polyester. For example, the stirrup leather is made of BioThane ® brand material, or leather and/or Nylon ® .

L'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisations précédemment décrits et s'étend à tous les modes de réalisation couverts par les revendications.The invention is not limited to the embodiments previously described and extends to all the embodiments covered by the claims.
