Saddle carriage I

The invention relates to a transportable, compact, manual I

same car with storage space specially for equestrian equipment and I

accessories and nothing more, hereinafter referred to as "saddle car" · I

Wagons of this type are not yet known at all. Wagons I

5 with a similar purpose include the carriage for the transportation of I.

golf sports equipment and the machine tool or material 1

car. I

Currently, only one chest is available, which chest is not I.

equipped with wheels for transport. The chest is provided with an I.

10 lid and is usually made of wood. The provision in the chest I

for the purpose of storage generally consists of a longitudinal I

bar fitted on which the saddles can be stored so that I

nig that under these saddles still some parts as e.g. a bridle can I

and some storage compartments on the side for smaller j

15 parts as e.g. brushes. The drawback of such a storage box is that it I

it is not easy to move or transport, difficult to handle I

divisible, the opening close to a source of pollution is the I.

surface, which is usually equal to a dirty stable floor, usually I.

is below the physical strength of a person (on the ground) and I.

20 therefore the saddles stored therein must be in a stooped position j

are stored and taken out. There a transportable mobile I

orderly and clear storage special for equestrian equipment in the whole does not yet exist, it has been developed.

The saddle carriage consists of a steel frame against which plating is attached, being the box, with a double wheel set under the box frame · The frame sealing is such that none of the parts stored in the saddle car can be removed. Access to the parts stored in the saddle carriage is possible by opening two openable hinge-mounted doors constructed on the front of the saddle carriage. Ventilation grilles are fitted in the cladding of the saddle carriage frame to prevent mold from the parts stored therein.

The wheel set at the front of the saddle carriage is steerable by means of a drawbar coupled thereto, which drawbar offers the possibility of pulling the saddle carriage.

This drawbar can be folded vertically to prevent loss of space and allow greater maneuverability in small spaces

The saddle carriage has a detachable push handle at the back for pushing. The rear of the saddle carriage is of such a shape that it has rolling and sliding properties.

Rolling characteristics because the rear wheels at the rear to the rear fall beyond the rear cover and push handle.

Sliding properties because the push handle in combination with special sliding supports against the rear effect a sliding effect with or without mounted push handle.

The top of the saddle carriage is flat with the possibility to sit as b-v. spectator of an attraction and is also provided with the possibility to attach a feed rack to this as a separate part of the saddle carriage · 15 One or both rear wheels of the saddle carriage can be locked by means of a mechanical braking system.

The access doors of the saddle carriage hinge in the side, so that when these doors open, part of the side folds away and is also released for access. Both the doors in closed position and the drawbar in vertical position are lockable. On the inside of the fixed part of the saddle carriage (doors excluded) there are storage facilities at a favorable lifting height, which are specially intended for storing one or more saddles. These saddle storage arrangements are sized such that the center of gravity of the saddles is above the diagonal intersection of the wheels and as close as possible to the underside of the saddle carriage. This device is constructed on the fixed part of the frame.

Storage facilities such as bins with lids, hooks, eyes, etc. are also mounted on the inside against the fixed frame, for-3U see securing, especially for the items such as e.g. whip, brushes, combs, overreach boots. On the inside of the doors one or more specially shaped brackets are attached for the storage of bridles and halters. The saddle carriage has a durable bottom at the the wheels in which air or dirt discharge holes 35 are arranged. Blankets, riding boots, etc. can be stored on this bottom. The bottom is locally bent and has a flat at the rear. the wheel axles. The bottom has a front just above the front wheelset.

The frame of the saddle carriage is constructed of tubular profile. Two axles are constructed under the saddle carriage. A front axle 11 with hinge bearing 10 between the center axle and the middle saddle carriage, which also connects the axle to the frame and two bearing wheels 13 15 are provided with pneumatic tires. The width measured between the outer edges of the front wheels is smaller than the largest width of the saddle carriage, in order to get good maneuverability and not to get protruding front wheels. The saddle carriage is narrower at the front to make it easier to transport in a 20 horse trailer.

The height of the saddle carriage, including the wheels, is such that the top of the saddle carriage is lower than the neck of a horse, so that a feed rack 20 to be mounted on the top of the saddle carriage, as a separate accessory, with adjacent dimensions is easily accessible. is 25 for a horse. A rear axle 12 constructed under the rear of the saddle carriage, also provided with two pneumatic-bearing wheels 14, with a width measured on the outside of the wheels equal to the width of the saddle carriage. The rear wheels protrude to the rear partly beyond the rear. The pneumatic tires provide the required 30 suspension in the saddle carriage. A pivot construction 9 is mounted on the front axle, to which is mounted a pull / handle bar 2, which can pivot along the path between the vertical position and the position where the top side touches the ground. The front axle, which can rotate in the horizontal plane, can be steered by this pulling / steering boom. Two tubular door frames connecting to the shape of the saddle carriage are hinged vertically in the side in hinges 25.

Against the outside of the frame of the saddle carriage and the doors suspended therein is light durable plate material, e.g. ABS fitted, creating a completely enclosed storage space.

Two 5 saddle supports 1 are attached to the frame at the rear in the cupboard space.

For this purpose, pseical braces 6 for halters are attached to the framework on the inside of the doors 17, if hooks 8 and eyelets 7 for riding jacket, whip, etc. are also fastened against this.

The floor is located at the front above the front wheels and is bent down directly behind the 10 front wheels, merging into a horizontal floor part between the rear wheels.

A sliding support 4 is mounted against the rear of the saddle carriage, the most protruding part of which falls slightly behind the rear wheels, whereby sliding of the saddle carriage in a vehicle can be carried out with ease in the back-to-back (on the rear).

A push / pull rod 3 is mounted against the rear with wing bolts 24, which can also serve as a bite bar for a horse.

Brackets 5 are fastened to the front of the doors against the framework thereof, which brackets enclose the pulling / steering boom in vertical position when the doors are closed. These brackets have axially corresponding holes through which a padlock can be fitted. The crosspiece at the free end of the pulling / steering boom 2 is provided with plastic handles 18. Air grids are arranged in the plating of the saddle carriage. Air supply grilles 21 at the bottom front, and air grilles 15 at the side. Ventilation grilles 29 at the top rear.

At the bottom of the box-shaped part 16 of the bottom in the saddle carriage can be placed an electric fan which can be switched on by means of an electronic clock, for which an electric power supply such as a battery 23 can also be arranged in this bottom box 16. This battery can also, or only serve to supply a light point 22 mounted on the inside of the saddle carriage via a switch on the inside of the saddle carriage. A window 19 35 is provided on the side of the saddle carriage for the placement of a nameplate.
