Halter with carabiner strap for pressure-resistant carabiner attachment

Abstract

(Main claim) Halter for horses with a halter element for receiving a carabiner, characterized in that, that a carabiner strap is attached directly or indirectly to the halter element, which forms a loop, into which the carabiner can be attached, the loop forces the carabiner into a defined position, in which it lies flat against the horse's head, so that a tight-fitting fastening of the jaw strap is possible with a low-pressure carabiner attachment.

Description

Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a halter for horses with a carabiner attachment at a point, section or area of ​​the halter to which a carabiner can be functionally attached, wherein this halter element is hereinafter referred to by way of example as a cheek ring (3). State of the art

[0002] With conventional halters, a snap hook is usually attached directly to a cheek ring (3) located between the cheek strap (1) and the headpiece (2). In this configuration, the snap hook is rotated so that the back of the snap hook rests against the horse's head at a single point or with an angled edge. This can lead to pressure points and often necessitates a loose fastening of the throatlatch (5). A loose fastening of the throatlatch, in turn, is generally unsuitable for use as a riding halter or cavesson, as a tight fastening of the throatlatch is required to prevent the halter from slipping.

[0003] Alternatively, there are designs that use a strap fastened with a buckle instead of a carabiner. While these solutions allow for a tighter fit, they forgo the quick-release fastening of a carabiner and thus the rapid opening and closing of the halter. Object of the invention

[0004] The object of the invention is to provide a halter that enables a low-pressure carabiner system and at the same time allows the cheek strap (5) to be fastened tightly without having to forgo the advantages of a carabiner attachment. Solution

[0005] The problem is solved by a halter with a snap hook strap (4) attached to a halter element, forming a loop into which the snap hook is attached. The loop forces the snap hook into a defined position where it cannot rotate freely but lies flat against the horse's head. This results in a low-pressure snap hook attachment, allowing the cheek strap (5) to be fastened tightly without the snap hook exerting pressure at any one point.

[0006] For the purposes of the invention, the term halter element refers to an area or component of the halter on which the carabiner strap is arranged, wherein the halter element can be designed as a separate component, in particular as a ring, or as an integral component of a strap, in particular a cheek or neck strap.

[0007] In the Fig. In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, the halter element is designed as a ring (3). Advantages of the invention

[0008] The invention offers in particular the following advantages: • Low-pressure carabiner mounting • Avoiding concentrated pressure points on the horse's head • Tight fastening of the cheek strap possible • Retaining a quick-release buckle option using a carabiner • Simple design implementation through additional carabiner strap Brief description of the drawings • Fig. Figure 1 shows a schematic overall view of a halter according to the invention. • Fig. Figure 2 shows a detailed view of the carabiner system with jaw ring, carabiner strap and hooked carabiner.
