Abstract

The saddle tree (10) has head irons (16) for the pommel, extending to the points (15). The saddle tree has a rear end (13) supported by a rim (25), and strip springs (17) running between the pommel and the rear end plate (24). The head iron has spring head iron ends (21) on both sides. These may be detachable and elastically deformable.

Description

The invention relates to a saddle tree with a Assigned to the forerella, reaching to the ends of the village Gullet iron, one supported by a seed wreath Often and between the front peas and the Longitudinal plate with longitudinal plate.

Such a saddle tree, such as that from DE 37 02 011 C1 is known, serves as a framework for a riding saddle. The opening width of the foreboot in the area of the locals is due to the opening width of the top iron. Now horses all have an individual Shoulder width and the opening width of the Saddles rarely corresponds to the actual shoulder width of the horse. Therefore saddles are becoming increasingly popular demands that have a dimensioned opening width, to get good contact with the horse and it to relieve.

The object of the present invention is a saddle tree to create the shoulder play of the horse leaves the greatest possible freedom and one of the riders Anatomy of the horse independent, as constant as possible Sits feeling.

This problem is solved in that the gullet is provided with resilient gullet ends. The gullet is on both sides, for example, in a predetermined one Provide recesses to the end of the location and the elastic gullet ends are with fasteners connected in the recesses with the gullet.

These measures create a saddle tree which extends both lengthways and crossways the different anatomical conditions of a horse and the greatest possible shoulder play allows.

To avoid a tilting moment when the rider moves backwards to let the saddle emerge in the saddle itself over the seed plate as a strong specific Pressure on the horse's back, through which the horse feels uncomfortable and less willing to perform shows, it is provided that between Ate and seed plate are an elastic one A wreath is attached to this. This can do that Compress more often and a tipping moment is not on the Transfer horse back.

Due to the individually different width The saddle should also be different on a horse's back wide, but this is often contradicted by the requirement of the rider for an optimal sitting feeling again depends on its individual stature.

It is therefore provided in a preferred embodiment that that the waist is transverse to the seat area is constricted and the longitudinal springs outside the waist between the front peas and the drapery run. This can make the saddle different be built wide. The outside of the waist Longitudinal springs are very thin and allow you to practically not impairing the sitting feeling Saddle construction.

Further advantageous measures are described in the subclaims. The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing and is described in more detail below; it shows:

The saddle tree 10 shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 consists essentially of a seat section 11, the between a front peas 12 and a cutters 13 extends.

A gullet 16 is inserted into the front peas 12, which extends to the 15 places. The gullet 16 has gullet ends 21 which are separate from the gullet 16 are made. The gullet ends 21 are according to the invention elastic and with fasteners 23 attached to the gullet 16.

The gullet 16 is in the area of the locals 15 Provided recesses 22 in which the gullet ends 21 are fastened with fastening means 23. Between the front peas 12 and the vein 13 run longitudinal springs 17. The longitudinal springs 17 and the gullet 16 are Dedicated to springs 18.

The gullet 16 usually consists of a relative rigid forging or casting, while the gullet ends 21, as shown in Figure 3, from a relative thin, elastically deformable material are made. The gullet ends 21 can thereby in the transverse direction 27 rebound elastically. As an elastically deformable material for the gullet end 21, for example, a spring steel, a light metal, a plastic or the like be used.

In another embodiment, it is provided that Gullet ends 21 made of an elastically deformable To manufacture round material so that it can also be used lengthways 26 can dodge. Even the whole gullet can 16 made of a light, elastically deformable material, for example, titanium.

As FIG. 2 shows, the seat part 11 has a severely constricted waist 14. The longitudinal springs 17 are on both sides of the waist 14 in the transverse direction 27 to staggered outside.

The longitudinal springs 17 run between a grain iron 19 and the gullet 16. They are in starting points 20 connected to the gullet 16. The gullet 16 can be provided with a large number of starting points 20. This can determine the width of the seat 11 Attachment of the longitudinal springs 17 can be varied. As well The longitudinal springs 17 can be S-shaped in plan view be, they in the area of the waist 14 this are designed to taper towards each other.

The longitudinal springs 17 consist of an elastically deformable Material and are so thin that they practically not apply in the seating area 11. The This makes the rider feel like a seat even when widened of the saddle in the transverse direction 27 through the outside offset longitudinal springs 17 not affected.

As FIG. 4 shows, the fan 13 is over a seed ring 25 connected to a seed plate 24. The seed wreath 25 is designed to be resilient and as a separate part made. He can use lanyards 28 releasably connected to the seed plate 24. As a result, the fan 13 can compress and under load the load is not pressed on the seed plate 24 by. Likewise, the seed plate 24 itself can be resilient be trained to handle impacts from the horse to cushion towards the rider.
