Definitions

  • the invention relates to a saddle girth for stretching a saddle on the back of a riding animal, in particular a horse.
  • Saddle belts are guided around the belly of a riding animal, for example a horse, and each end is connected to one side of a saddle, typically a saddle flap. Since such a girth is routed around the belly of a mount, it is also referred to as a girth. Saddle girths are padded in many cases to avoid pressure points as much as possible. In adaptation to the curvature of the belly of a mount, two abdominal straps are sometimes used as abdominal straps. For horses as mounts, saddle girths have been developed to increase the wearing comfort, which have a sickle-shaped contour and are wider in the center area than in the area of the connecting buckles for attaching such a saddle girth to a saddle.
  • the greater width of the girth is lined with leather or consists of such a piece of leather. Due to the crescent-shaped shape, in which the clamping or tensile force is introduced via the ends of the crescent-shaped shape, the tensile force is primarily introduced into the shorter side of the crescent-shaped shape, despite the provision of a stiffening plate. The result is that such a saddle girth does not fit optimally on the animal's body.
  • the saddle belt is guided around the chest of a horse (the same applies to other mounts).
  • the movement of the horse changes the contour and the circumference of the chest.
  • the girth which is preferably routed over the horse's breastbone, slips forward behind the forehand.
  • girths have been developed in which elastomer rings or other elastomer elements are inserted into the girth. This provides the girth with a certain amount of elasticity to allow for an enlargement of the chest when breathing.
  • a girth Even if in this regard the wearing comfort for the horse is improved, such a girth also tends to migrate from its intended position behind the forequarters.
  • a saddle girth using an elastomer element it is provided that the latter carries a ring-shaped support cushion in the middle, with which the saddle girth is supported in the area of the sternum on the chest of the horse.
  • the invention is based on the object of proposing a saddle girth for stretching a saddle on the back of a mount with a high level of comfort for the mount, in which the saddle girth remains with regard to its positioning in relation to the forehand of the mount, on which the saddle girth positioned when hitching up.
  • a saddle girth which is divided into three and comprises a center piece and two strap sections connected to it, which strap sections are connected to different sides of the saddle in order to connect the saddle girth to a saddle, the strap sections each having at least one connecting strap with the interposition connected to the center piece by a rigid joint ring attached to the center piece, the joint rings are arranged at a distance from one another in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the saddle girth and the connection of the connecting straps and/or the belt sections to the respective joint ring is designed so that the belt sections are in the plane of the center piece can be pivoted.
  • This girth is divided into three in the direction of its longitudinal extension and thus in the tightening direction.
  • the belt sections serve to connect the saddle belt to the saddle belt straps of a saddle and thus represent the connection from the center piece to the saddle.
  • the two belt sections are separated from one another by the center piece.
  • the belt sections are each connected to the center piece by means of a rigid joint ring.
  • the joint rings themselves are spaced apart from one another in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the saddle girth and each is fastened to the center piece via at least one connecting strap.
  • the connecting straps and/or the belt sections are connected to the rigid joint ring so that they can be easily adjusted relative to the joint ring, typically by means of a loop of appropriate width that encompasses a section of the joint ring.
  • connection strap or the strap sections can thus be displaced in relation to the joint ring in the direction of the circumference thereof.
  • a joint ring can have a circular design. Then there is the possibility that both the connecting straps and the strap section connected to them can be adjusted in relation to the joint ring.
  • this saddle girth it is basically sufficient if such mobility is only given between the connection strap or the girth section in relation to the joint ring.
  • a joint is formed by the inclusion of the rigid joint rings, at which an adjustment of the belt sections relative to the center piece can take place, namely in the direction of the width of the center piece and thus parallel to the surface of the animal body.
  • either the strap section connected to it and/or the articulated ring can be pivoted in relation to the at least one connecting strap in the plane of the center piece.
  • this saddle girth Due to the above-described functionality of this saddle girth, it is primarily also suitable for saddling horses whose withers are relatively far away from the forehand. As a result, the saddle is then in a position in relation to the thorax that the saddle girth must be placed around it at a greater distance from the forehand, i.e. in a position in which changes in the circumference of the thorax occur more strongly as a result of horse movements. It goes without saying that with such a horse the girth tends to move behind the forequarters. To prevent this, excessive tensioning of the saddle girth would be necessary. When using the saddle girth according to the invention, this is effectively counteracted, without the wearing comfort of the saddle girth for the riding animal, such as the horse, being adversely affected.
  • the joint rings of this saddle girth are designed to be rigid in order to transfer the tensile force applied to them from the girth sections to the center piece without changing the shape.
  • Metal rings are typically used as joint rings.
  • An embodiment is preferred in which the metal rings have a particularly smooth surface, so that the connection belts and belt sections connected to them can be adjusted accordingly easily.
  • a chrome-plated or polished surface of such a metal ring is provided in a preferred embodiment. Good sliding or adjustment properties are also obtained if the connecting strap or straps and the strap sections are made of artificial leather, for example Biothane®, since this material has low friction compared to metal.
  • the belt sections connected to the joint rings can be single-belt or double-belt. It goes without saying that more than two belts can also be connected to it.
  • This girth with girth sections, each formed by several individual girths, such as a double girth, preferably uses a D-ring as a joint ring.
  • the individual straps of the strap section are connected to the straight web of the D-ring, while the at least one connecting strap for connecting the joint ring to the center piece is connected to the curved section.
  • the tensile force is introduced via the multiple belting of the belt section equally into the joint ring and thus into the at least one connection belt and thus in turn into the center piece.
  • the design of the center piece is independent of the design of the belt sections.
  • the center piece is typically designed with a greater width than the width of the belt sections. In this way, a large-area contact with the thorax of the mount can be provided via the center piece, which significantly increases the wearing comfort due to the distribution of the clamping force over the surface of the center piece.
  • the joint rings are each connected to the center piece with two connecting straps.
  • connection belts diverge from one another in the direction of the center piece, so that the tension or tensile force introduced into the connection belts via the articulated ring is conducted via the connection belts to the edge regions of the center piece.
  • the connecting straps typically extend to the edge of the center piece.
  • the connection straps also act as elements that distribute the tensile force.
  • the joint rings reach through an upper material of the middle piece. Then that section of the center piece that reaches through the joint ring represents the connection belt.
  • the center piece is typically padded in the direction of the animal's body, which further improves the wearing comfort for the mount can.
  • the center piece has a high-tensile top layer to which the connecting straps are connected.
  • This tensile top layer is that layer of the middle piece which is the outer material layer in relation to the animal body and thus points away from it. This serves to distribute the tensile force over the area of the center piece.
  • Such a middle piece also has an underlay attached to the top layer, pointing in the direction of the animal's body and taking on the cushioning function.
  • This can be an open-meshed fabric that is lined with an elastic spacer fabric. The open mesh ply is the one that lies against the carcass.
  • the center piece can have a certain stiffening, as long as this rests easily on the animal's body when the saddle belt is tightened.
  • center piece with a high-tensile top layer can also be used to detachably attach an upholstery underlay to this, for example with Velcro Velcro strips. This allows the use of different padding for different purposes, so that the padding can be adapted to the respective purpose without having to use a different girth.
  • the middle piece and the belt sections can definitely be made of different materials, especially if the middle piece is designed to be a little more rigid than the belt sections.
  • the center piece with its attachment strap and/or the strap sections can be made of leather or imitation leather, for example.
  • Both the belt sections and the center piece can each be designed in multiple parts.
  • Fig. 1 A top view of a three-part saddle belt according to the invention with a center piece and two belt sections connected to it,
  • Figure 3 the girth of Figures 1 and 2 with additional padding attached to its waist and
  • a saddle belt 1 comprises a center piece 2 and two belt sections 3, 4.
  • the belt sections 3, 4 are constructed in the same way. If belt section 3 is described in more detail below, these statements apply equally to belt section 4.
  • the center piece 2 is a flexible material layer, sufficiently flexible that it easily clings to the animal's body when the saddle belt 1 is put on.
  • the middle piece 2 is made of a high-tensile material, for example Biothane® with a high-tensile base.
  • the belt section 3 is a belt section with a double belt.
  • the belt section 3 thus has two belts 5, 6.
  • the belts 5, 6 each carry a buckle 7, 8 at the end for connecting the saddle belt 1 to a saddle belt strap of a saddle (not shown in the figures).
  • the belt section 3 is connected to the center piece 2 with a joint ring 9 interposed.
  • the joint ring 9 is designed as a D-ring.
  • Such a joint ring 9 for connecting the belt section 3 to the middle piece 2 has a curved section at least in one direction, and thus either in the direction of the middle piece 2 or toward the belt section 3 .
  • the curved section is arranged pointing in the direction of the center piece 2 .
  • the joint ring 9 is fastened to the center piece 2 via two connecting straps 13 , 14 . These are sewn to the center piece 2 with respect to their longitudinal extent.
  • the seam is identified by reference number 15 in connection strap 13 , for example.
  • the connecting straps 13, 14 diverge from each other starting from the joint ring 9. The result is that a tensile force introduced via the belt section 3 into the joint ring 9 and via this into the connection belts 13, 14 is distributed over the width of the center piece 2 to the edge area and is thus introduced over the entire width.
  • the width of the center piece 2 is significantly greater than the width of the belt sections 3, 4.
  • the width of the center piece 2 also exceeds the extent of the joint ring 9 in this direction.
  • the extension of the center piece 2 in this regard is approximately twice that of the joint ring 9.
  • the decoupling of the center piece 2 from the belt sections 3, 4 allows a width design that is independent of the belt sections 3, 4.
  • the center piece 2 can have a geometry adapted to the animal body.
  • Another advantage of such a diverging arrangement of the connecting straps 13, 14 is that each connecting strap 13, 14 is arranged at an obtuse angle, a right-angled arrangement is also possible, to the curved section 12 of the joint ring 9.
  • the seams 15 are designed in relation to the loop 16 of the connecting straps 13, 14 enclosing the arcuate section 12 in such a way that the width of the loop 16 is dimensioned sufficiently large so that the joint ring 9 with its arcuate section 12 can easily be positioned in the plane of the center piece 2, as indicated by the arrows in Figure 1, can be adjusted.
  • the connection belt 3 is thus connected in an articulated manner in relation to the center piece 2 .
  • the joint rings 9 are located on the outside of the center piece 2 and therefore do not come into contact with the carcass.
  • the articulation of the belt section 3 in relation to the center piece 2 is shown in FIG. 2 by way of example. Both belt sections 3, 4 are adjusted in the same direction relative to the center piece.
  • a special feature is that the tensile force is introduced from the strap sections 3, 4 via the joint rings 9 into the center piece 2, regardless of the alignment of the strap sections 3, 4 with respect to the center piece 2. Irrespective of the joint position of the strap sections 3, 4, the underside of the center piece 2 rests the same on the animal body across the surface, even if the strap sections 3, 4, as shown by way of example in Figures 1 and 2, are adjusted relative to the center piece 2. It is essential that no twisting moment is introduced into the belt sections 3, 4 and also the central piece 2 and thus the central piece 2 maintains its surface contact with the animal body.
  • the adjustability is easy due to the correspondingly large loops 16 of the connecting straps 13, 14.
  • a polished steel ring is used as the D-ring.
  • the smooth surface with the connection belts 13, 14 made of Biothane® has only a very low static friction, which supports the smooth running of the joint.
  • FIG. 3 shows the saddle belt 1 with its center piece 2 and the two belt sections 3, 4 in a further development.
  • padding 17 is attached to the underside of the center piece 2 facing the animal body.
  • the padding 17 is detachably connected to the underside of the center piece 2, specifically by Velcro strips. This means that it can be removed for cleaning purposes and put back on again or replaced with other upholstery.
  • FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of a saddle girth 1.1, which is basically constructed like the saddle girth 1 of the figures described above. Therefore, the above statements on the saddle girth 1 apply equally to the saddle girth 1.1.
  • its center piece 2.1 is not oval but octagonal, this shape being stretched in the longitudinal direction of the saddle girth 1.1.
  • the belt sections 3.1, 4.1 are also connected to the center piece 2.1 by means of connecting straps 13.1, 14.1 with the interposition of a D-ring 9.1.
  • the joint rings 9.1 are located next to the center piece 2.1.
  • the belt sections 3.1, 4.1 are correspondingly shorter in order to be connected to the saddle belt straps.
  • the connecting straps 13.1, 14.1 diverge from each other approximately at the angle of the tapered end sections of the stretched octagonal shape, so that these are arranged near the edge approximately parallel to an edge of the center piece 2.1 that converges in the direction of the joint ring 9.1. With this girth 1.1, a tensile force is introduced directly into the edge areas of the center piece 2.1.
