Embodiment Construction

[0010]All illustrations of the drawings are for the purpose of describing selected versions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0011]With reference to FIGS. 1-4, the present invention is a reversible rowel that may be used as part of a spur to control the movements of animals and provide a point of balance for riders during equestrian and rodeo events. The present invention comprises a rowel disc 1, a first plurality of rowel spokes 5, and a second plurality of rowel spokes 8. The rowel disc 1 acts as a central hub which is able to rotate when mounted onto the shank of a spur. The first plurality of rowel spokes 5 is laterally connected about a first half 2 of the rowel disc 1. Similarly, the second plurality of rowel spokes 8 is laterally connected about a second half 3 of the rowel disc 1. The first plurality of rowel spokes 5 and the second plurality of rowel spokes 8 are sized differently in order to give the user varying le...

Abstract

A reversible rowel is used during equestrian or rodeo activities to aid a user while riding. The reversible rowel includes a rowel disc, a first plurality of rowel spokes, and a second plurality of rowel spokes. The first plurality of rowel spokes is laterally connected about a first half of the rowel disc. Similarly, the second plurality of rowel spokes is laterally connected about a second half of the rowel disc. The first plurality of rowel spokes is sized differently from the second plurality of rowel spokes, creating two levels of grip. A plurality of notches laterally traverse into the first plurality of rowel spokes and the second plurality of rowel spokes, giving the user added grip. A locking channel traverses into the reversible rowel, allowing the user to selectively utilize either the first plurality of rowel spokes or the second plurality of rowel spokes.

Description

[0001]The current application claims a priority to the U.S. Provisional Patent application Ser. No. 62 / 312,919 filed on Mar. 24, 2016.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates generally to rodeo and equestrian accessories. More specifically, the present invention relates to a reversible rowel for bull or horse riding.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Spurs are commonly worn on boots and used as a means of controlling an animal and / or maintaining balance while riding the animal. Specifically, the rowel is the portion of the spur used to grip against the skin of a bull or a horse. Many existing rowels use a symmetrical design to provide a consistent amount of grip regardless of the orientation of the rowel. While this may be useful in some applications, users who may wish to change the amount of grip their spurs provide must acquire additional rowels to do so. This can lead to unwanted costs from purchasing multiple types of rowels and may force users to store or carry ...
