Definitions

• the present invention aims to provide a protection system for parts exposed to wear and deterioration of a riding saddle, during handling, laying on the ground, transport, more this system allows carry the saddle easily, instead of carrying it on the arm which is inconvenient and tiring, and being able to carry at least two at a time, it allows the saddle to be placed on the ground vertically, without the aid of a wall, or any other vertical support, it also makes it possible to store the saddle on a horizontal bar, which avoids the costs of a saddle holder, or several saddles depending on the length of the bar thus on a 5 meter bar, 1 1 saddles can be stored, if they are provided with this system, and in the case where they are not provided, 1 1 saddles holder will be required which is much more expensive
• the invention aims to provide a solution to such a problem, by providing a versatile device intended on the one hand to protect the parts of a riding saddle that are the pommel and the cantle, parts most exposed to wear and dete ⁇ oration during handling, transport by van, and installation on the ground, and
• the first element is supported on the cantle by 0 a part of an envelope in the shape of a curved gutter with U-section or semicircle, open horizontally in the direction of the cantle and whose curvature p allows you to follow the outline of said cantle, the curved part of the first element has the appearance of a crescent moon whose concave part is hollowed out over its entire length to define the gutter
• the lower projection of the first element has an upper face whose orientation in the longitudinal direction is between a horizontal direction and a direction slightly curved upwards with one end slightly raised from the plane containing the crescent-shaped part
• the assembly comprises, according to another characteristic, furthermore a member forming a carrying handle provided with at least one slit connecting to the strap and in that said handle has two branches, for example in the shape of an L, slightly firm upside down or of a U open and provided, on the lower part of the upper ho ⁇ zontale branch and near the internal angle with the branch arranged vertically, of a concavity allowing stable support on a ho ⁇ zontale bar for hooking support, and in that or the slots, or loops, are located o horizontally at the lower part of the vertical branch going from the front face to the rear face of this branch. with possibly an inclination facilitating the blocking of the strap
• the assembly may further comprise an apron element having a peripheral profile in the form of an et ⁇ er seen from the front, intended to protect the front parts of the i 5 saddle sections, provided with at least one passer-by, or at least one slit for connection to the strap located in the center and at the top of said apron, this apron being intended to be connected to the strap under the lower part of the second element

• Figure 16 view of these elements from the rear of the saddle in the hanging storage position has a bar 35
• Figure 17 perspective view of the assembly represents Figure 16, this one also showing a protective apron Figure 18 front view only of the apron Figure 19 front view of the assembly with the apron in the use position on the second element
• the device comprises: a first element 1 figure 2-3-4-5 which consists of a gutter 9 with in the center a light dish 12 it aims to marry the cantle 5 figure 1 of a riding saddle, depending on the model, the curve and the width of said cantle, the outer ends of the gutter are provided with grooves 13 in order to facilitate the opening of the crescent-shaped curve of the gutter 9; on the lower part is a slot 1 1 to let the passage to a strap 3 figure 1 to connect and fix all the elements on the saddle, transversely compared to the gutter, under the lower part and on the internal side projects a part protruding 10 with a slight transverse rounding on the upper part, said protrusion is applied under the cantle in the direction of the underside of the seat 7 Figure I; under the lower part of this projection is a slot 14 to allow passage to the strap
• the second element 2 as shown in FIGS. 6-7-8-9-10 comprises - an upper jaw 15 with its lower part slightly concave in the longitudinal direction and in the transverse direction as it appears clearly in FIG. 10, on its part upper is a slot 20 Figure 6-7-9-10 which is intended to allow passage to the strap 3, - and a lower jaw 16; these two jaws, by the opening 28 which they define, have the purpose of marrying the pommel 6 in Figure 1 of the saddle, behind the closing of these jaws, there is a slot 19 oriented vertically, having the purpose of leave the passage to the strap 3, this element is continued by a shoe 17 here provided flat on which is in this case laterally close to its end 21 at least two notches 18 peripheral, the end of the shoe 21 of flat shape intended for lean on the ground, the grooves more or less apart with an inclination relative to the flat of the end 21, on the side of the underside of the shoe, are intended to be able, in the groove of the groove, to saw in a washer l end of the shoe in order to give another inclination
• This handle is L-shaped upside down, slightly firm and provided on the lower part of the upper horizontal branch 23 and near the internal angle with the branch arranged vertically 24 with a concavity 25 allowing stable support on 5 a horizontal hanging support bar FIG. 16-17, in addition to its function of transport by hand, illustrated in FIG. 14
• FIG. 14 shows the elements secured to a saddle, in the transport position, also with a protective apron 26
• the purpose of this protective apron 26 is to Q protect the fronts of the quarters 8 figure 1 of the saddle, in the center and at the top of said apron there are two slots 27 to allow passage to the strap 3, in order to connect it under the lower part of the element 2 figure 17-19
• a saddle provided with these elements can be placed vertically on the ground, the saddle being tilted, bearing on part 21 of shoe 17 of element 2 as shown in lb figure 15
• the element I in FIG. 2 includes a gutter, which has the purpose of marrying the cantle of a riding saddle, with a U-shaped section, this U can be more or less open as illustrated.
• Figure 5 section AA it can also have a semicircular section
• the protruding part 10 in FIG. 5 is slightly curved with the end rising, it can also be more or less straight, and more or less long.
• the external faces of the gutter can be flat, or curved
• the jaws 15-16 of element 2 in figure 6-7 can be more or less deep and more or less wide
• the lower part of the upper jaw 15 can be more or less concave in the longitudinal direction Figure 6 and in the transverse direction Figure 10
• the upper part of the lower jaw 16 Figure 6- 10 can be more or less rounded in the transverse direction , but may also include a slight flat in the transverse medium over the entire length 30
• the second element is no longer in the form of a muffle as illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 10 but in the form of a U-shaped profile defining a jaw by the branches (1 5) and (16) of the U always concave internally for the upper branch (1 5) and flat or convex internally for the lower branch (16), the said U being extended towards the back by a party
