Abstract
Description
The invention relates to a saddle for a riding animal according to the preamble of claim 1.In the prior art, saddles for fur animals are known which consist of several layers or filled casings, preferably of leather. The casings are usually filled with various soft, but nevertheless comparatively strong, fillers, such as synthetic wool. As a rule, a saddle tree made of a rigid material, such as wood or glass fibre-reinforced plastic, is incorporated in the saddle for stabilization purposes.However, the stiffness of the saddle tree or of the other materials used, from which a saddle is typically manufactured, restricts the freedom of movement of the passenger, in particular in the back. The shoulder portion of the riding animal is also restricted, in particular by stirrups fastened to the saddle tree and facilitating walking. However, the scapulas of a passenger must move back and forth continuously during the natural motion of walking, so that the restriction of the scapulas makes additional efforts for the passenger. In the case of poorly seated saddles, therefore, the passenger may even be paind. A further problem of the stiffened saddle trees and the solid materials, such as leather, is the reduced communication by means of body movements between rider and riding animal. In particular, so-called seating aids and weight aids cannot be used in an optimum nuanced manner. This effect is additionally enhanced by the smooth leather, since the rider unintentionally slips in the saddle and gives the riding animal undesired weight aids and seating aids.In order to improve the communication between rider and horse and to ensure the freedom of movement of the horse, a saddle is known from EP 3 034 459 A1, in which a head iron and a rigid saddle tree are dispensed with in order to provide a flexible and soft saddle. The disadvantage of the saddle is that smooth leather is used, and due to the flexibility, precise positioning on the horse's back is made more difficult.DE 6 901 906 U discloses a saddle which is integrally produced from a foamed plastic. Individual components, such as the saddle strap or a stirrup holder, can be foamed into the saddle. A particular disadvantage of this saddle is the tendency of foamed plastic to tear and / or break, and the lack of the possibility of reinforcing and / or padding areas where necessary.There is therefore a great need for a saddle which does not restrict the freedom of movement of the passenger and improves communication between rider and passenger by means of seating aids and / or weight aids, and in particular enables more nuanced seating aids and / or weight aids. Furthermore, the saddle should reliably prevent undesired slipping and / or slipping of the rider and / or the saddle on the back of the riding animal. Furthermore, the saddle should be stable, light weight, readily cleanable, durable and durable. In addition, the saddle should be simple, quick and cost-effective to produce, and should be individually adaptable to the rider and / or the riding animal, in particular the back of the riding animal. The object of the invention is therefore to provide a saddle for a riding animal in order to overcome the above-mentioned difficulties.This object is achieved in a surprisingly simple but effective manner by a saddle according to the teaching of the independent main claim 1.According to the invention, a saddle for an teed animal is proposed, wherein the saddle comprises a seat cushion and at least two back cushions, wherein the back cushions are arranged under the seat cushion in such a way that the back cushions form a channel in the longitudinal direction and are connected by the seat cushion. The saddle is characterized in that the seat cushion and the back cushions are formed in one piece and from at least one substantially bubble-free and flexible material.The basic idea of the invention is that the one-piece and bubble-free configuration of the seat cushions and the back cushions makes it better possible to transmit seating aids and / or weight aids, since these are not passed on from one component to the next, but rather directly through the material. By selecting a flexible material, it is also possible to maintain the natural freedom of movement of the passenger and not to restrict and / or impede the movement of the passenger by rigid components. In addition, by selecting a flexible material, the saddle can adapt optimally to the back of the passenger, and printing points and / or chafing points are reliably avoided. Due to the substantially bubble-free configuration, the saddle is moreover stable and durable. Seating aids and / or weight aids are also not damped and / or distorted by the randomly and / or irregularly arranged bladders.According to the invention, the saddle for a riding animal has a seat cushion and at least two back cushions. It is preferably conceivable for the seat cushion and / or the back cushions to be manufactured from the same material according to the invention or to be manufactured from at least two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 or 20 different materials according to the invention. In this case, the different materials can be selected optimally according to their intended task and / or their intended position in the seat cushion and / or in the back cushion.The seat cushion serves to allow the rider to take up space on the same during intended use. For this purpose, it is preferably designed to be elevated in the longitudinal direction on the front and rear sides, wherein the regions designed to be elevated in the longitudinal direction are connected by a type of trough. Further preferably, the seat cushion falls off transversely to the longitudinal direction on both sides, so that a rider seated on the seat cushion can arrange at least one leg or respectively one leg laterally past the seat cushion. As a result of this configuration, the rider on the one hand is given a stabilization on the riding animal and on the other hand the correct seating is facilitated for him. The correct seating of the rider on the passenger facilitates the seating aids and / or the weight aids.Further according to the invention, the two back cushions are arranged under the seat cushion such that the back cushions form a channel in the longitudinal direction and the back cushions are connected by the seat cushion. The back cushions serve to be placed on the passenger. They are placed to the left and right of the spine of the passenger, so that the channel is arranged above the spine. As a result, the spinal column is not loaded, which protects the back of the passenger. By placing them on the left and right of the spinal column and, in most vertebrates, the spinal column forms the highest point of the back, a secure arrangement of the saddle on the back of the passenger is made possible. The back cushion is preferably manufactured from one block, more preferably it consists of two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten or more blocks, which are configured identically or differently and are arranged behind and / or next to one another. The back cushion can be manufactured in several blocks during manufacture and / or a division or a further division of the back cushion can take place after manufacture. By configuring it with a plurality of blocks, the back cushion can expand or compress by widening or compressing the angle between the joint edges of the individual blocks and thus adapt itself to the movements of the passenger.The term "channel" refers to an elongated through-recess between the back cushions which is open towards the back of the passenger and is bounded on the side opposite the open side by the seat cushion.The term "longitudinal direction" refers to a direction of the saddle which, when used as intended, corresponds to the longitudinal direction of the passenger, i.e. the longitudinal direction of the spinal column. In particular, the longitudinal direction is the direction in which the passenger goes when going forward.Moreover, according to the invention, it is provided that the seat cushion and the back cushions are formed in one piece and from at least one substantially bubble-free and flexible material.The term "one-piece" refers to an article that consists of a single part or component. Particularly preferably, the saddle is formed in one piece. The term one-piece refers to matable in a single manufacturing operation, particularly, but not exclusively, in a single injection molding operation, a single casting operation, a single 3D printing operation, and / or a combination thereof. In particular, the subsequent attachment of further separate components is not necessary. Subsequent correction operations, such as grinding and / or files, are not considered a separate production operation.The term "bubble-free" refers to a material which has no or only a slight degree of production-related inclusion of bubbles and / or air. In particular, foams are not bubble-free. Intentionally arranged cavities, the arrangement and / or configuration of which is at least specifically influenced during production, are not bubbles in the sense of the term "bubble-free". The term "substantially" means that only a slight, in particular non-significant, change, change and / or deviation from the corresponding conditions occurs. With respect to the term "substantially bubble-free" this means that the material used does not contain any bubbles in the manner of production used under ideal conditions. However, when manufactured under real conditions, bubbles may form in an insignificant number, placement and / or cluster. In particular, a material is substantially bubble free when there is less than one bubble per cubic centimeter on average and the bubbles take less than 10% of the volume per cubic centimeter on average.The term "flexible" refers to the property of a material to be able to readily flex, deform, and / or adjust without breaking, cracking, and / or being permanently altered.The term "riding animal" refers to an animal on which it can be fried. Conceivable vertebrates are, for example, but by no means exclusively, horses, in particular various horse trains or ponsys, horse species such as donkey, macultier or mulesel, zebras, lamas, elefants, camels such as dromedare or tratchl animals, rentices, elche, cattle such as water buffalo, yaks, cow or ochsen, and strauss.By means of the invention, it is possible to provide a saddle which substantially improves the communication between rider and riding animal by means of seating aids and / or weight aids. The one-piece configuration of the seat cushion and back cushion also allows production in a simple, quick and cost-effective manner. At the same time, the freedom of movement of the passenger is improved compared to conventional saddles, and the saddle is easily adaptable to the passenger, as well as durable, long-lived, light-weight, easily cleanable and stable.Advantageous refinements of the invention, which can be realized individually or in combination, are presented in the dependent claims.In a further development of the invention, it is conceivable that the seat cushion and the back cushions are configured monolithically. A monolithic design allows the transfer of seating aids and / or weight aids to the back of the passenger in a particularly effective and non-distorted manner. This allows very good communication between rider and rider. Particularly preferably, the saddle is monolithically formed as a whole with components described elsewhere. Even more preferably, the back cushions and the seat cushion are fully chemically cross-linked to each other.The term "monolithic" refers to a component that is made of one piece, contiguous, and jointless.It is conceivable that the seat cushion and / or the back cushions are at least partially, preferably completely, made of a moldable, injection-moldable and / or 3D-printable plastic. Even more preferably, the saddle with the components described elsewhere is at least partially, preferably completely, made of a moldable, injection-moldable and / or 3D-printable plastic. This enables the partial or complete production of the seat cushion and the back cushions or the saddle by means of a casting, an injection molding and / or a 3D printing method. The advantage of casting or injection molding processes is the simple and fast and cost-effective production, which makes it possible to produce a large number of saddles according to the invention within a very short time. The advantage of the 3D printing method is the simple and rapid adaptation to the passenger and the rider. In particular, it is conceivable to adapt the seat cushion to the buttocks of the rider, for example by a 3D scan of the buttocks of the rider, and to adapt the back cushions to the back of the passenger, for example by a 3D scan of the back of the passenger. This data obtained by the scan can be entered in a suitable program which controls the 3D printer executing the 3D printing process, so that the seat cushion and the back cushions are optimally adapted for the respective rider and the riding animal and are therefore particularly comfortable and gentle. In the design of the seat cushion and the back cushion, in addition to the 3D scans, general anatomical knowledge of humans and passenger can also be included. Preferred cast, injection-moldable and / or 3D-printable plastics that meet the requirements according to the invention are, in particular, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS), acrylonitrile-styrene-acrylate copolymer (ASA), polypropylene (PP), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene mixed with polycarbonate (PC-ABS), polyoxymethylene (POM), glycol-modified polyethylene terephthalate (PETG), polyamide (PA), polycarbonate (PC), carbon, glass fibers, filament, thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), in particular a thermoplastic polyester elastomer (TPC), silicone, a polylactide (PLA), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyether ether ketone (PEEK), Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN), rubber, rubber, a polymer and / or a mixture thereof. Articles made of these materials generally have a high coefficient of static friction, such that the saddle holds good on the back of the passenger, which effectively counteracts slipping of the passenger, and the rider has a secure and stable seat in the saddle, and are moreover wiping, washable, watertight, water-repellent, dirt-repellent, weld-resistant, dermatologically harmless, tear-resistant, abrasion-resistant, cut-resistant, long-lived, heat-resistant, cold-resistant, weathering-resistant, anti-slipping, compliant and / or elastic. These properties are advantageous in saddles, since these liquids, in particular perspiration, are exposed to weathering, friction, tensile forces and / or sharp-edged objects. Due to the water-resistant, water-repellent, dirt-repellent or wiping-off and / or wash-off configuration, the saddle is quick, simple and in part easy to clean without chemical additions. In this way, the seat cushion and / or the back cushions can nevertheless adapt optimally to the rider or the riding animal in the case of inaccuracies in fit. Preferably, the seat cushion and / or the back cushions are resilient and / or elastic because they are made of at least one resilient and / or elastic material as mentioned elsewhere. Such materials are known to the skilled person. Alternatively and / or additionally, the elasticity and / or the flexibility can be brought about by the formation of specific structures, in particular a meandering structure, or by introduced slits and / or cracks. A further advantage of a resilient and / or elastic seat cushion or back cushion is the possibility of the saddle to adapt to the movements carried out during the reking of rider and riding animal. Rider and riding animal are therefore less restricted in their freedom of movement by the saddle, and in particular the forward movement of the riding animal is associated with less force exertion.Moreover, it is conceivable that the saddle comprises a saddle tree, wherein the saddle is completely accommodated in the seat cushion and / or in the back cushions. The saddle tree gives the saddle additional stability and thus allows the rider to better fit on the passenger.In a further embodiment, it is conceivable that the saddle tree is made of a plastic and / or leather. The saddle tree is particularly preferably made of a tension-resistant, dimensionally stable, hard, very hard, stable and / or very stable plastic with a high resistance to deformations and / or fractures, as mentioned elsewhere. However, it is conceivable that the plastic is bendable. The term "tension-resistant" relates in particular to a plastic which is not tension-elastic or is only slightly tension-elastic, that is to say stretches only to a slight extent under the influence of tensile forces. The saddle tree is preferably designed curved, wherein the legs of the curvature are laterally bendable, so that the angle which is located in the interior of the curvature can be at least partially adjusted. In this way, the saddle tree can be bent up or bent under the influence of the movements of the passenger and does not obstruct the rider and the passenger, or only to a significantly lesser extent.The term "fully accommodated" refers to an arrangement of the seat beam in the seat cushion and / or in the back cushion, so that the surface of the seat beam is covered at any point by the seat cushion and / or by the back cushions during the intended use. However, it is conceivable that the saddle tree is nevertheless accessible, for example, by pressing and / or folding away part of the back cushion and / or the seat cushion to the side.It is furthermore conceivable for at least one incision to be arranged between the seat cushion and the back cushions. Preferably, at least two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine or ten, identically or differently configured incisions are arranged between the seat cushion and the rear cushions. The incision allows engagement between the seat cushion and the back cushion. Particularly preferably, an incision is arranged on each side between the seat cushion and the first back cushion or the second back cushion. Particularly preferably, the incision is located on the outer side, wherein the outer side is the side of the saddle seat on which the rider sits when used as intended. The incision makes it possible to attach further parts of the saddle, in particular stirrups. It is further conceivable that the incision enables the engagement with a saddle tree described elsewhere, wherein the saddle tree comprises a stirrup suspension, in particular a saddle lock, at the engageable location. This enables stirrups to be attached to the saddle tree. The notch covers the buckles during intended use, which make it possible to adjust the length of the stirrups, and in this way prevents the development of unpleasant pressure on riders and / or riders. In a further embodiment, it is conceivable for the incision to extend from one side through the seat cushion to the other side of the seat. In other words, the incision is configured in the manner of a tunnel through the seat cushion and / or the back cushions. In this tunnel, a strap can be arranged, on which a stirrup is arranged and / or can be arranged on each side. More preferably, the incision is arranged on the inner side of the saddle. The inside of the saddle is the side which, in intended use, lies on the back of the passenger. It is particularly preferred to allow a seat belt to engage in the seat, wherein the notch covers the buckles of the seat belt. Further preferably, the seat belt is fastened and / or can be fastened to a seat beam described elsewhere. Even more preferably, the incision is also made through the seat cushion, in the manner of a tunnel, and in this tunnel a strap is arranged, which allows the attachment of the seat belt.Moreover, it is conceivable that the saddle comprises at least one strap, wherein the strap is partially accommodated in the seat cushion and / or in the back cushions or in one of the back cushions. As described elsewhere, a saddle strap and / or a stirrup can be fastened to the strap. In addition to the method described elsewhere for introducing an incision in which the strap is arranged, it is likewise conceivable, during the production of the seat post and / or of the back cushion, to embed the strap in the at least one material forming the seat cushion and / or the back cushion. Therefore, it is preferably conceivable, if it is a casting method and / or injection molding method, to place the belt in the mold and then introduce the material into the mold. In the case of the 3D printing method described elsewhere, it is conceivable to place the belt on the unfinished or semi-finished blank during printing and in this way embed it in the seat cushion and / or in the back cushion. Particularly preferably, the belt comprises at least one recess, in particular a punching out, through which the seat cushion material and / or the back cushion material flows or is pressed during the embedding and / or introduction into the mold. In this way, the strap is connected in a form-fitting manner to the seat cushion and / or the back cushion and cannot slip or fall out of and / or be pulled out of the seat cushion and / or the back cushion.In a further development of the invention, it is conceivable that the saddle comprises at least two saddle leaves and / or at least two pucks, wherein the saddle leaves and / or the pucks are formed integrally with the seat cushion and the back cushions and are bubble-free. Particularly preferably, the saddle flaps and / or the pucks are made of the same material as the seat cushion and / or the back cushions. In this way, aids to be transmitted to the passenger via the thighs can also be transmitted optimally. The clips serve to stabilize or facilitate the seat of the rider by limiting the leg of the rider in the freedom of movement. The saddle flaps have a function of protecting the side of the rider from friction caused by the leg and the saddle belt, respectively, and protecting the leg of the rider from, for example, the buckles holding the saddle belt. The saddle blades are preferably designed in multiple parts and / or have at least one incision. A seat belt can be passed between the parts of the seat leaves and / or through the incision. Riders and riding animals are thereby protected from pressure and / or friction points caused by the seat belt.In a further development, it is conceivable that at least one loop is configured in one piece on the tongue and / or on the saddle blade. Preferably, at least two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine or ten loops, configured identically or differently, are configured in one piece on the tongue and / or on the saddle blade. The one-piece configuration can be brought about in particular by placing a corresponding loop, by an incision passing through the tongue and / or the saddle blade or directly during the production of the tongue and / or the saddle blade. Preferably, unrequired lengths of straps can be fastened to the loop, so that they are cleared. It is furthermore conceivable to pass through the loop, for example, a strap which ensures the perfect fit of the tongue and / or the saddle blade in cooperation with a stirrup or a saddle strap. Additionally or alternatively, it is conceivable to configure at least one loop, preferably at least two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine or ten loops configured identically or differently, in one piece on the seat cushion and / or on the back cushions.In a development, it is conceivable for the seat cushion, the back cushions, the saddle leaves, the pucks and / or the loop to be colored, for example coated and / or printed over the surface or over the entire surface, at least partially, in regions and / or in sections, preferably completely, using the methods and measures known to a person skilled in the art. Preferably, other parts of the saddle not mentioned are likewise coloured, coated and / or printed. Most preferably, the saddle is colored, coated and / or printed. In particular, the at least one layer has one or more, preferably all, of the properties mentioned elsewhere. Within the scope of the invention, it has been recognized that the use of materials other than the leather known in the prior art enables coloring, coating and / or printing, which is at least partially, area-wise and / or section-wise, preferably completely, quickly, simply and economically, taking into account the material. Coloring, coating and / or printing can be effected for visually appealing reasons, in particular decorations, for increasing longevity, for training purposes, etc. It is also conceivable to individualize the saddles by coloring, coating and / or printing, so that a simplified assignment to the owner, the tab and / or the passenger is made possible. It is likewise conceivable to apply information, in particular by means of pictograms and / or text, to the saddle. These may in particular contain indications for the correct care and / or correct attachment of the saddle.In yet another development, it is conceivable for the seat cushion and / or the back cushions to be transparent or made of a transparent material and to contain additives and / or at least one, preferably at least two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine or ten, identical or different inserts. Further preferably, other parts of the saddle, in particular saddle leaves and / or pucks, are transparent and contain additives and / or at least one, preferably at least two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine or ten, identical or different, inserts. Most preferably, the saddle is transparent and contains additives and / or at least one, preferably at least two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine or ten, identical or different, inserts. The additives can be, in particular, sparkles, gemstones and / or confetti. The inserts can preferably be small to large-area pictograms and / or drawings. This can likewise take place for optically appealing reasons, training and / or individualization reasons and / or for informative reasons, as mentioned elsewhere.Moreover, it is conceivable that the seat cushion and / or the back cushion is structured on the surface. It is preferably conceivable for the structuring of the surface, in particular of the surface of the back cushions, to contain channels which make it possible for liquid, in particular perspiration, to flow off. It is further conceivable that the structuring is configured such that the friction between seat cushion and rider or between back cushion and passenger is increased. This provides the saddle with better grip against slipping.Further details, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of the preferred exemplary embodiment in conjunction with the dependent claims. In this case, the respective features can be realized on their own and / or several in combination with one another. The invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiment. The exemplary embodiment is schematically illustrated in the figures. Identical reference numerals in the individual figures denote identical or functionally identical elements or elements corresponding to one another with respect to their function.In detail, the following show: FIG. 1 : a first isometric view of a saddle according to the invention; FIG. 2 is a second isometric view of the saddle according to the invention; and FIG. 3 : a third isometric view of the saddle according to the invention.FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 show isometric views of a saddle 1 according to the invention. the saddle 1 comprises a seat cushion 2 and two back cushions 3 arranged under the seat cushion 2. the back cushions 3 are spaced apart from one another so that a channel 4 is formed between them. The spine of the passenger passes longitudinally through the channel 4 and is therefore not loaded by the saddle 1. Furthermore, the saddle 1 comprises two saddle blades 5, which are configured in two parts. The seat leaves 5 are arranged on the outside at the transition of the seat cushion 2 and the back cushions 3. The saddle flaps 5 further each have two points 6 which support the leg of the rider and limit the movement. Furthermore, the saddle blades 5 each comprise a loop 8, and a strap, not shown, for example the strap of a stirrup, which is variable in length, can be accommodated by the free end of the loop 8. In this way, the belt is cleared and not en route during reiteration.Furthermore, the seat 1 comprises an engagement 7 on both sides, which is arranged above the seat leaf 5 between seat cushion 2 and back cushions 3. The engagement 7 can be seen particularly well in FIGS. 2 and 3. Due to the configuration of the engagement 7, a part of the seat cushion 2 can be folded away from the rest of the seat 1. This allows engagement on a stirrup holder of a saddle tree, not shown. The two-part configuration of the saddle leaf 5 also allows engagement on the saddle tree, not shown, by means of which a saddle strap can be fastened to the saddle tree.The saddle 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 is manufactured from a casting, so that the saddle 1, in particular the seat cushion 1, the back cushions 2, the saddle leaves 5, are formed integrally with the tongue 6 and the loop 8, and are made of at least one substantially bubble-free and flexible material. In the present case, the material is silicone. Silicone has the advantage that it is durable, durable, resilient, elastic and wiping and has a high coefficient of static friction compared to most materials, so that the saddle 1 holds well on the back of the passenger and the rider has a secure and stable seat in the saddle 1.List of reference characters1 Saddle 2 Seat cushion 3 Back cushion 4 Channel 5 Saddle leaf 6 Patch 7 Incision 8 LoopReferences included in the specificationThis list of documents cited by the applicant has been produced in an automated manner and is only included for the better information of the reader.
