[0002] HANGER FOR RIDING ACCESSORIES

[0003] OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

[0004] The invention, as expressed in the title of this specification, relates to a hanger for riding accessories that provides, for its intended function, advantages and characteristics, which are described in detail below.

[0005] The object of the present invention lies in a hanger that has a structural configuration specifically designed to allow the orderly placement of a set of riding accessories, specifically to hang, at least, some earmuffs, a saddle cloth or saddle pad, and preferably, also a plurality of protective bandages for the legs, all of them, accessories that are usually used for the practice of horse riding and that, until now, do not have specific means for their orderly and joint storage hanging from a horizontal bar, either to keep them in a closet at a private level, or to place them in a display accessible to customers in a commercial establishment.

[0006] FIELD OF APPLICATION OF THE INVENTION

[0007] The field of application of the present invention falls within the sector of the industry dedicated to the manufacture of storage systems, focusing particularly on the field of hangers and coat racks, while also covering the field of sports accessories, specifically horse riding accessories.

[0008] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0009] As is well known, horse riding requires a variety of accessories that are fitted to horses for various purposes. Specifically, one of the most commonly used accessories is earmuffs, which, generally shaped like a cap with two pointed covers, serve to cover the ears and minimize noises that might frighten the horse, thereby improving its concentration.

[0010] Another essential accessory is usually bandages and leg protectors, which serve to prevent blows either from jumping equipment and / or from the hooves themselves when trotting or galloping, protecting the legs from possible damage while providing firmness.

[0011] Finally, an accessory that is often essential is the saddle blanket or sweatshirt, which is placed under the saddle to absorb the animal's sweat.

[0012] The problem is that, after analyzing the market, no product has been found that allows for the comfortable and orderly storage of these riding accessories, and even less so, none that allows for the storage of all of them together. What is usually done is to store them separately, usually in drawers, on conventional clothes hangers, with clips, etc.

[0013] The objective of the present invention is, therefore, the development of a new type of hanger specifically designed to provide these characteristics.

[0014] On the other hand, and as a reference to the current state of the art, it should be noted that, at least on the part of the applicant, the existence of any other hanger for riding accessories, or any other invention of similar application, that presents technical, structural and constitutive characteristics equal to or similar to those claimed here, is unknown.

[0015] EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

[0016] The hanger for riding accessories that the invention proposes is configured as an optimal solution to the objectives previously indicated, the characterizing details that make it possible and that distinguish it being conveniently included in the final claims that accompany this description.

[0017] Specifically, what the invention proposes, as previously mentioned, is a hanger with a specific structural configuration whose main function is to store a set of riding accessories on a single hanger. Specifically, a set of riding accessories consisting of, at least, earmuffs, protective bandages, and a saddle pad / saddle cloth, and, preferably, to be able to store all of these accessories together.

[0018] To this end, what the hanger comprises, at least, in addition to the upper or similar middle hook for hanging the hanger itself from a bar or similar, is a double support for earmuffs, which has a specific shape with two pointed vertical protuberances, for example in the form of triangles, sized in such a way that each of the two covers for the horse's ears that comprise said earmuffs fit well into said protuberances and do not deform, while allowing the earmuffs to be held.

[0019] Preferably, this double support is integrated between the lower base and the upper vertex of the triangular, rectangular or semicircular body that, in a conventional manner, forms the structure of the hanger, with the hook located at the top of said upper vertex.

[0020] And, in any case, preferably, this double support in the form of pointed vertical protuberances is integrated into a horizontal crossbar that has recesses on both sides of them, which improve the support of the earmuffs.

[0021] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the hanger also comprises at least one lower horizontal rod suitable for hanging the mantilla / sweatshirt on it.

[0022] Optionally, said lower horizontal rod may be removable or partially releasable, in order to present at least one open end, whereby said rod is suitable for the mantilla / sudadero or for inserting one or more protective bandages, preferably the set of four bandages that is usually used for each leg of the horse.

[0023] Finally, in another embodiment option, the hanger comprises, in addition to the lower horizontal rod, an intermediate horizontal rod, at least one of which, preferably the intermediate one, is removable or partially releasable, in order to have at least one open end, whereby said rod is suitable for inserting the protective bandages, while the other will be used to hang the mantilla / sudadero, thereby allowing the three riding accessories to be stored together on the hanger, that is, the earmuffs, the mantilla / sudadero and the four protective bandages.

[0024] Finally, it should be noted that the hanger should preferably be made of any material appropriate to its intended use, such as wood, plastic, coated wire, or some other metal alloy.
