AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing horse riding stirrups with mechanically attached treads require specialized assistance for replacement, weaken the frame due to mechanical fastening, and involve high manufacturing complexity and costs.

Method used

A stirrup design featuring a removable and interchangeable tread system where the support element is locked into place using a pivoting side arm and locking mechanism, eliminating the need for mechanical fasteners, allowing riders to easily replace the tread and maintaining frame integrity.

Benefits of technology

Enables riders to independently replace the tread without specialized help, reduces production costs and complexity, and enhances mechanical resistance by avoiding frame weakening from fastening holes, ensuring safer and more efficient stirrup maintenance.

Abstract

The horse riding stirrup (1), object of the present invention, comprises a frame (2) provided with a connection portion (21) for connecting to a bracket, a first side arm (22), a support arm (23) connected to the first side arm (22) and provided with a seat (230) with an undercut (231), and a second side arm (24) rotatable between a coupling configuration and an uncoupling configuration. Furthermore, the stirrup comprises a support element (3) for the foot of the user which is removably mounted onto the support arm (23), and provided with a first coupling portion (31) which may be wedged to the undercut portion (231) of the support element seat (230). The stirrup is characterized in that the second side arm comprises a locking means (243) suitable for locking the support element (3) in the support element seat (230) when the second side arm is in the coupling configuration.
