Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a riding saddle and its method of manufacture.
  • a saddle has two panels extended by false quarters, these false quarters having the function of protecting the flanks of the horse to prevent them from being in contact with buckles straps.
  • the panels are pads in contact with the horse's back. These panels are for example intended to soften this contact to avoid pressure points generating pain and fatigue for the horse.
  • trapeze a piece of leather that is interconnected by a flexible piece of leather called "trapeze" by the skilled person. This trapeze is a piece opposite the back of the horse but does not touch it since it is separated from this denier by the panels of the saddle.
  • the tree is a rigid piece formed of two curved parts, the pommel and cantle which are respectively in the anterior and posterior areas of the saddle. Due to its rigidity, the tree allows the release of the withers of the horse but also the preservation of the shape of the saddle.
  • the tree is usually hollow at its center. Straps are then stretched inside the latter to form a seat, straps to support padding and a traditional leather upholstery on which the rider sits.
  • the tree is also equipped with cons-sanglons allowing the rooting of a saddle strap around the body of the horse to fix the saddle to the latter.
  • the tree has quarters, on its lateral sides, which cover the false quarters and the ref-sanglons. They have on the one hand an aesthetic aspect but on the other hand favor the contact of the legs of the rider with the saddle and the horse. To improve this contact, the quarters are provided with cleats guiding said legs.
  • the rider lifts slightly from the saddle and then falls on the saddle, so as to relieve the back of the saddle. riding every other day as he is not sitting in the saddle every other time.
  • the present invention aims to provide a saddle riding, to overcome the limitations mentioned above, and more particularly to avoid the occurrence of shocks.
  • a riding saddle provided with a semi-rigid tree, is remarkable in that it comprises a semi-rigid trapezium, vis-à-vis the back of the horse on which said saddle is arranged , which cooperates with the tree.
  • the trapeze is semi-rigid, so it does not consist of a single piece of leather. It is for example made using a composite material provided with glass and carbon fibers, polyurethane foam and resins. It is preferably the same for the semi-rigid tree.
  • the trapeze being semi-rigid, it can cooperate with the tree so that the latter can dampen shocks.
  • the tree is movable relative to the trapezium. Therefore, the tree / trapeze assembly is also a means for damping shocks unlike the prior art where it represents a simple frame provided with a flexible piece of leather. It is understood that the movement of the tree relative to the trapezium is able to dampen shocks encountered when the horse is trotting, for example, the set tree / trapeze dissipating a vertical force inducing a horizontal movement.
  • the semi-rigid tree and the semi-rigid trapezium of the saddle have a substantially identical profile, the tree conforming to the shape of the trapeze when a rider sits on this saddle.
  • the tree is movable in a horizontal direction relative to the trapezium.
  • the posterior parts of the tree and the trapezium are secured to one another by a mounting means.
  • the rear part of the tree namely its rear part directed towards the tail of the horse, is thus fixed to the posterior part of the trapezium via the embedding means which secures the tree to the trapezium at their rear part.
  • the front part of the tree is movable relative to the front part of the trapezium in a horizontal direction, namely a direction substantially directed along the axis of the horse's spine.
  • the rear portion of the tree is secured to the posterior portion of the trapezium while its anterior portion is adapted to move relative to the trapezium in a horizontal direction.
  • the front part of the tree is able to make a horizontal displacement over a maximum length of 2.5 cm (centimeters) so as to obtain a significant damping.
  • This link is for example a sliding means which comprises an axis whose first end is secured to the tree, the second end of the axis passing through an orifice in the trapezium.
  • This first end is an insert arranged in the tree, the axis being a screw which passes through the orifice and which is screwed into the insert. The head of the screw then represents a plateau serving as a stop to limit the vertical movement of the tree.
  • the hole of the trapezium is preferably an oblong hole allowing the displacement of said link, this oblong hole having a maximum length of 2.5 cm (centimeters).
  • the trapezium is optionally provided with two panels comprising reinforcements made of composite materials to, on the one hand, facilitate their assembly and, on the other hand, avoid the appearance of pressure points on the back of the horse.
  • steps a) and b) may be implemented simultaneously.
  • panels having rigid reinforcements made of composite materials for example, provided with inserts, are used.
  • a screw being conventionally provided with a head and a body, during step b), each panel is fixed to the trapezium via at least one screw, the body of this screw passing through the trapezium to be screwed to the panel, and the head of this screw being arranged on an upper face of the trapezium which is opposite the saddle tree.
  • the assembly is thus very simple to achieve. It is also possible to easily change the panels.
  • At least one panel is provided with a slipper on its lateral face, namely one side of the panel which is not directed towards the flanks of the horse, and tree having at least one arch, that is to say a bracket, said arch is inserted into the boot.
  • the liner thus allows to correctly position the seat relative to the seat before their final fixation.
  • step c) which eventually succeeds the preliminary stage, the posterior part of the semi-rigid trapezium is fixed to the posterior part of the tree via a fitting means, a screw whose body is screwed to an insert present in the tree.
  • the anterior portion of the semi-rigid trapezium is connected to the front part of the tree via a link such as an axis of the tree that passes through an orifice of the trapezium. , an oblong hole, the first end of this axis being integral with the tree while its second end is from the trapeze and ends with a plateau.
  • the figure 1 presents a schematic view of a tree 1.
  • This tree 1 semi-rigid has a rear portion 11, that is to say at the rear of the saddle and therefore the opposite side to the withers of the horse.
  • the tree is provided with an anterior portion 12, that is to say on the side of the horse's withers.
  • the tree has a rounded end 14 to allow the vertical movements of the withers of the horse.
  • the figure 2 shows a schematic view from below of a trapezium 2 according to the invention.
  • this trapeze is a semi-rigid plate and not a simple piece of leather.
  • This trapezium 2 has a rear portion 21 located at the rear of the saddle and therefore the opposite side to the withers of the horse.
  • the trapezium 2 is provided with an anterior portion 22 of the side of the horse's withers.
  • the trapezium has a lower face 25 facing the back of the horse and an upper face 26 facing the tree 1.
  • this trapezium 2 is provided with an orifice, an oblong hole 24, in its front part and a hole 23 in its posterior part.
  • the figure 3 has a schematic section of a tree 1 arranged on a trapezium 2, said tree 1 cooperating with the trapezium 2.
  • the posterior portion 11 of the tree 1 is fixed to the posterior portion 21 of the trapezium 2 via a mounting means 31, for example a screw which passes through the bore 23 of the trapezium 2 to be screwed into an insert present in the tree 1.
  • the upper face 26 trapezium 2 is then directed towards said tree 1.
  • the tree 1 With the embedding means 31, the tree 1 is secured to the trapezium 2 at their rear portion 11, 21.
  • the front portion 12 of the tree 1 is fixed to the front portion 22 of the trapezium 2 via a link 32.
  • the link 32 is for example an axis whose first end 33 is an insert secured to the tree 1. Its second end 34 is then a screw whose body 35 protrudes from the trapezium 2, the screw head 36 being vis-à-vis of the lower face 25 of the trapezium 2.
  • the tree 1 then cooperates with the trapezium 2 and vice versa.
  • the tree 1 is away from the trapezium 2 naturally considering the attachment of the posterior parts of the tree 1 to the trapezium 2 via a mounting means.
  • the tree 1 being at least partially movable relative to the trapezium 2, the tree 1 moves and comes substantially to match the shape of the trapezium 2. More precisely, the weight of the rider elastically deforms the shaft 1 and the trapezium 2. Their posterior and anterior parts then move respectively according to the arrows F1 and F2. In addition, the shaft 1 is movable relative to the trapezium 2, the link 32 moving horizontally in the oblong hole 24.
  • the oblong shape of the oblong hole 24 of the trapezium 2 makes it possible for the body 35 of the screw 34 to come into contact with the edges of this hole.
  • the oblong hole serves both as a guide but also as a travel limiter. We observe on the figure 4 that the displacement of the tree is finally limited by the slot 24 / link 32, the link 32 abutting against the oblong hole at the end of the course.
  • composite materials to manufacture the tree is particularly effective in that these composite materials allow to obtain a semi-rigid tree, sufficiently rigid to form the frame of the saddle but also flexible enough to be deformed without causing a break in this tree. The same goes for the trapezium 2.
  • the figure 5 presents a schematic rear view of a saddle arranged on the back 50 of a horse, to illustrate the method according to the invention. So we see particularly the cantle of the saddle.
  • the seat of the saddle is manufactured from a semi-rigid tree, which is not visible on this figure 5 .
  • the tree is also equipped with unrepresented stirrup knives for fixing the stirrup leathers to the saddle.
  • step b optionally implemented at the same time as step a), the seat cushion is manufactured.
  • This seat is provided with a semi-rigid trapezium 2 whose sides each comprise a panel 42.
  • These panels 42 are filled with padding and are arranged on the back 50 of the horse.
  • each panel 42 is reinforced with rigid reinforcements made of composite materials, non-threaded inserts represented being arranged in these reinforcements.
  • each panel is fixed on the trapezium 2 via at least one screw passing through the trapezium and lodged in the panel insert.
  • each of these screws is disposed on the upper face 26 of the trapezium, namely the face of the trapezium which is opposite the tree and not the back of the horse. This point is important since it allows the removal of pressure points on the back 50 of the horse which improves the comfort of the latter.
  • each panel 42 has a liner 46, a pocket for example, on a lateral face 44 ', namely a panel face which is not directed towards the flanks of the horse.
  • Step b) is then completed.
  • step c) which follows steps a) and b), the saddle is completed by fixing the seat on the seat.
  • step c the brackets 47, called arcades, of the seat are inserted into the slippers 46 of the false quarters 44. This allows the seat to be well positioned with respect to the seat .
  • the rear part of the tree is fixed to the posterior part of the trapezium 2 by means of the embedding means 31.
  • the embedding means 31 is for example a screw through the hole 23 of the trapezium 2, which is screwed into an insert integral with the tree.
  • anterior portion 12 of the shaft 1 is connected to the anterior portion 22 of the trapezium 2 via a link 32.
  • this link 32 consists, for example, of an insert 33 integral with the shaft 1 and a screw 34. The screw then passes through an oblong hole 24 of the trapezium 2 to be screwed into the insert 33 of the tree 1, a portion of the screw whose head 36 projecting from the trapezium 2 to the outside of the saddle.
