Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of equestrian equipment technology, and in particular to a pressure-reducing and anti-slip saddle pad. Background Technology
[0002] Saddles are usually made of hard materials such as wood or fiberglass. If they are in direct contact with the horse's back, they can easily cause wear and tear on the horse's back and cause discomfort to the rider due to the large vibrations. Therefore, saddle pads are usually placed between the saddle and the horse's back to cushion the vibrations and impacts between the two, and also to reduce the friction on the horse's back.
[0003] Traditional saddle pads rely solely on materials to reduce pressure, which is ineffective. Excessive localized pressure during horse movement can cause discomfort and injury, resulting in greater impact on the horse and consequently, poor saddle pad comfort.
[0004] To address this issue, this utility model proposes a pressure-reducing and anti-slip saddle pad. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve one of the aforementioned technical defects.
[0006] Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to provide a pressure-reducing and anti-slip saddle pad, comprising a flexible saddle pad body, wherein a buffer portion is fixedly connected to one side of the saddle pad body.
[0007] The buffer section consists of a front part, a middle part, a rear part, and a bending pad for connecting the front part, the middle part, and the rear part. Both sides of the front part and the rear part are connected with arc-shaped pressure-reducing and anti-slip pads. Both the front part and the rear part are tongue-shaped. The bending pad can be bent to fold the front part and the rear part.
[0008] The front and rear structures are identical. Both the front and rear include a first buffer pad that is fixedly connected to one side of the saddle pad body. A positioning pad is fixedly connected inside the first buffer pad. Several circular grooves are opened on one side of the positioning pad.
[0009] The positioning pad has several interconnected buffer units inside. A rubber column is fixedly connected to one side of each buffer unit. The outside of the rubber column is inserted into the inside of the circular groove and glued to the inside of the positioning pad.
[0010] Preferably, in any of the above embodiments, a connecting hose is fixedly connected to the outside of the buffer unit, and the other end of the connecting hose is fixedly connected to an adjacent buffer unit.
[0011] Preferably, in any of the above schemes, two of the buffer units are externally fixedly connected to vent pipes, the outside of which penetrates the inside of the first buffer pad.
[0012] The technical effect achieved by adopting the above solution is that by connecting to external equipment through the vent pipe, the external equipment can perform inflation and deflation operations on the interior of the buffer unit.
[0013] Preferably, in any of the above solutions, the positioning pad and the buffer unit are both disposed inside the first buffer pad.
[0014] Preferably, the middle part includes a second buffer pad, which is a square with an arc shape on all four sides. A buffer unit is also provided inside the second buffer pad, and a connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the outside of one of the buffer units, with the outside of the connecting pipe penetrating through the inside of the second buffer pad.
[0015] Preferably, from any of the above solutions, anti-slip pads are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the saddle pad body.
[0016] The technical effect achieved by adopting the above solution is that the anti-slip pad can prevent the saddle pad from sliding by fitting in close to the horse's belly.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0018] 1. During horse movement, the cushioning unit can dynamically adjust the pressure distribution according to the pressure at different positions, cushioning the pressure on the horse's back and reducing pressure peaks. This solves the problem of discomfort and injury to the horse caused by excessive local pressure during movement, effectively reducing the impact of impact on the horse and helping to alleviate the pressure on the horse.
[0019] 2. When not in use, the saddle pad can be folded so that the front and back can be folded to the middle, thus folding and storing the saddle pad. This solves the problem that the saddle pad takes up a lot of space when not in use, which makes it inconvenient to store, and improves the practicality of the saddle pad.
[0020] 3. Because horses move a lot, in addition to their spine, their scapulae also have a large range of motion when they move. Therefore, the pressure-relieving and anti-slip mat relieves pressure on both sides of the horse's spine. At the same time, the pressure-relieving and anti-slip mat prevents slipping when in contact with the horse's external parts, which helps to improve the comfort of the saddle pad.
[0021] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0029] Example 1: As Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a pressure-reducing and anti-slip saddle pad includes a flexible saddle pad body 1. The flexible saddle pad body 1 can be placed on the horse's back when in use and can be folded and stored when not in use to reduce space occupation. A buffer part is fixedly connected to one side of the saddle pad body 1.
[0030] The cushioning section consists of a front, middle, and rear section, as well as a folding pad 2 connecting the front, middle, and rear sections. Both sides of the front and rear sections are connected to arc-shaped pressure-reducing and anti-slip pads 3. Because horses have a large range of motion in addition to their spine, their scapulae also move a lot during exercise, the pressure-reducing and anti-slip pads 3 reduce pressure on both sides of the horse's spine. At the same time, the pressure-reducing and anti-slip pads 3 make contact with the horse's external parts to prevent slipping. Both the front and rear sections are tongue-shaped. When the cushioning section is a regular square, its four corners can cause discomfort to the horse during exercise. Therefore, by making the front and rear sections tongue-shaped, discomfort to the horse during exercise can be avoided, thereby improving the horse's comfort. The folding pad 2 can be folded to fold the front and rear sections. When the saddle pad is not in use, the air in the cushioning unit 6 is expelled, and then the front and rear sections can be folded to the middle section by the folding pad 2, so as to fold and store the saddle pad.
[0031] The front and rear structures are identical. Both the front and rear include a first buffer pad 4 that is fixedly connected to one side of the saddle pad body 1. During production, the positioning pad 5 and the buffer unit 6 are prefabricated first, then covered by the first buffer pad 4, and finally the first buffer pad 4 is sewn together. The first buffer pad 4 is connected and fixed to the saddle pad body 1 by sewing and bonding. The positioning pad 5 is fixedly connected inside the first buffer pad 4. Several circular grooves are opened on one side of the positioning pad 5. The positioning pad 5 is made of soft aluminum plate and sponge composite. The aluminum material itself is lightweight and will not put too much burden on the horse. When the saddle pad is in use, it can be bent and placed on the horse's back. When the saddle pad is not in use, it can also be flattened. Therefore, the positioning pad 5 can also be bent so that the buffer unit 6 fits the horse's back.
[0032] The positioning pad 5 has several interconnected buffer units 6 inside. A rubber column 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the buffer unit 6. The outside of the rubber column 7 is inserted into the inside of the circular groove and glued to the inside of the positioning pad 5. During production and processing, the personnel first apply glue to the outside of the rubber column 7, and then insert the rubber column 7 into the circular groove of the positioning pad 5 for bonding and fixing.
[0033] The buffer unit 6 is externally fixedly connected to a connecting hose 8. The other end of the connecting hose 8 is fixedly connected to an adjacent buffer unit 6. The length of the connecting hose 8 is preset to accommodate the bending degree of the saddle pad during use. During horse movement, adjacent buffer units 6 are connected through the connecting hose 8, allowing air to flow within different buffer units 6. When the horse runs, the shape of its back changes, and the pressure on the horse's back changes accordingly. The buffer unit 6 will change according to the change in the shape of the horse's back. At the same time, the buffer unit 6 will deform, and the air inside the buffer unit 6 will flow to the adjacent buffer unit 6 through the connecting hose 8, realizing air flow. This air flow can dynamically adjust the pressure distribution, buffer pressure, reduce pressure peaks, and avoid excessive local pressure that may cause discomfort and injury to the horse. It is beneficial to alleviate the pressure on the horse. It should be noted that before using the saddle pad, personnel need to inflate the inside of the buffer unit 6 through the air pipe 9 to ensure that it can work properly.
[0034] Two of the buffer units 6 are fixedly connected to the outside of a vent pipe 9, which extends through the inside of the first buffer pad 4.
[0035] The vent pipe 9 is connected to an external device, which allows the external device to charge and depress the interior of the buffer unit 6.
[0036] The positioning pad 5 and the buffer unit 6 are both located inside the first buffer pad 4.
[0037] The middle part includes a second buffer pad 10, which is a square with an arc shape on all four sides. A buffer unit 6 is also provided inside the second buffer pad 10. A connecting pipe 11 is fixedly connected to the outside of one of the buffer units 6. The outside of the connecting pipe 11 passes through the inside of the second buffer pad 10. Valves are provided inside the vent pipe 9 and the connecting pipe 11. Since this is a known technology and the technology is very mature at present, it will not be described in detail here. The vent pipe 9 and the connecting pipe 11 are connected to external equipment, so that the external equipment can perform inflation and deflation operations on the inside of the buffer unit 6.
[0038] Anti-slip pads 12 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the saddle pad body 1. The anti-slip pads 3 are made of silicone. The anti-slip pads 12 fit against the horse's belly to prevent the saddle pad from sliding.
[0039] A pressure-reducing and anti-slip saddle pad works on the following principle:
[0040] First, the saddle pad can be bent and placed on the horse's back when in use, and can also be flattened when not in use. Therefore, the support soft plate 202 can also be bent so that the micro airbag 203 fits the horse's back. During the horse's movement, adjacent buffer units 6 are connected by connecting hoses 8, so that the air in the buffer unit 6 can flow inside different buffer units 6. When the horse runs, the shape of the horse's back will change, and the pressure on the horse's back will change. The buffer unit 6 will change according to the change of the shape of the horse's back.
[0041] Secondly, the buffer unit 6 will deform, and the air inside the buffer unit 6 will flow to the adjacent buffer unit 6 through the connecting hose 8, realizing air flow. This air flow can dynamically adjust the pressure distribution, buffer the pressure, reduce pressure peaks, and avoid excessive local pressure causing discomfort and injury to the horse, which helps to relieve the pressure on the horse.
[0042] Then, when the saddle pad is not in use, the air in the cushioning unit 6 is expelled, and the front and rear parts can be folded to the middle part by bending the pad 2, so as to fold and store the saddle pad.
[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
