Description

La présente invention a pour objet un procédé de fabrication d'un arçon de selle et l'arçon ainsi réalisé.The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a saddle tree and the tree thus produced.

Un arçon traditionnel comprend deux pièces, le pommeau ou garrot à l'avant et le troussequin à l'arrière qui, reliés par des bandes latérales, constituent la structure de la selle.A traditional tree consists of two parts, the pommel or tourniquet at the front and the cantle at the back which, connected by side bands, constitute the structure of the saddle.

Le pommeau ou garrot, le troussequin et les bandes latérales sont usuellement réalisés en bois.The pommel or tourniquet, the cantle and the side bands are usually made of wood.

Le bois permet la fixation facile des sangles constituant le siège et plus généralement de toute la partie sellerie en cuir.The wood allows easy attachment of the straps making up the seat and more generally of the whole leather upholstery part.

Dans les arçons traditionnels, des bandes d'acier rivetées au bois viennent renforcer l'arçon.In traditional trees, steel bands riveted to the wood reinforce the tree.

Ce mode traditionnel de réalisation de l'arçon outre son poids présente un certain nombre d'inconvénients.This traditional embodiment of the tree in addition to its weight has a number of drawbacks.

Les bandes en acier doivent être conformées au moyen d'un outillage spécifique, ce qui augmente le coût de fabrication.
La fixation de ces bandes au bois par rivetage affaiblit l'arçon.
The steel strips must be shaped using specific tools, which increases the manufacturing cost.
The fixing of these strips to the wood by riveting weakens the tree.

En outre, l'adjonction d'un renfort métallique transversal au garrot rigidifie celui-ci qui présente de ce fait une cassure accentrice inesthétique avec risque de blessure de garrot du cheval en raison de la rigidité du renfort métallique.In addition, the addition of a transverse metal reinforcement to the tourniquet stiffens the latter which therefore has an unattractive centering break with risk of injury to the horse's tourniquet due to the rigidity of the metal reinforcement.

Des solutions ont été proposées faisant usage de matériaux synthétiques du type matières plastiques ou résines, par exemple résine moulée armée de fibre de verre.Solutions have been proposed using synthetic materials such as plastics or resins, for example molded resin reinforced with glass fiber.

La demande de brevet européen n° 0 260 192 décrit un arçon de ce type qui est formé d'une pièce par une bande mince d'un matériau composite et qui comprend une arcade rigide se terminant à ses extrémités latérales avant par des patins plats flexibles et une partie arrière en "u" incurvé.European patent application No. 0 260 192 describes a tree of this type which is formed in one piece by a thin strip of a composite material and which includes a rigid arch ending at its front lateral ends by flexible flat pads and a curved "u" rear part.

Un arçon de ce type est destiné à recevoir une partie supérieure ou assise qui est elle-même moulée et collée.
Si l'on veut tendre sur un arçon de ce type une assise traditionnelle, il est nécessaire de recourir au travail traditionnel du sellier par un sanglage qui risque de déformer l'arçon et de le rendre impropre à une assise correcte.
A tree of this type is intended to receive an upper or sitting part which is itself molded and glued.
If you want to stretch a traditional seat on a tree of this type, it is necessary to resort to the traditional work of the saddler by a strap which risks deforming the tree and making it unsuitable for a correct seat.

La tolérance à la déformation de ces arçons est faible, ce qui réduit les possibilités d'adaptation de la forme de la selle.
De plus, ces arçons moulés ont tous la même forme.
The tolerance to deformation of these trees is low, which reduces the possibilities of adapting the shape of the saddle.
In addition, these molded pommels all have the same shape.

On connaît aussi du GB 796 301 un procédé de réalisation d'un arçon rigide. Ce document enseigne l'usage de contre-plaqué pour la réalisation des différentes pièces de l'arçon.GB 796 301 also discloses a method for producing a rigid tree. This document teaches the use of plywood for the realization of the different parts of the tree.

L'invention vise à remédier à ces inconvénients en réalisant un arçon gardant l'aspect de l'arçon traditionnel sur lequel un sellier professionnel puisse intervenir pour réaliser la selle complète et qui tout en étant léger présente l'avantage d'être plus résistant que l'arçon traditionnel.The invention aims to remedy these drawbacks by making a tree keeping the appearance of the traditional tree on which a professional saddler can intervene to make the complete saddle and which while being light has the advantage of being more resistant than the traditional tree.

A cet effet, le procédé selon l'invention de fabrication d'un arçon de selle comprenant un pommeau ou garrot avant et des bandes latérales réalisés séparément en un matériau composite comprenant au moins un pli bois supérieur, au moins un pli bois inférieur, caractérisé en ce qu'entre les plis bois supérieur et inférieur sont intercalées des couches de matériaux en fibres naturelles ou synthétiques et liant que les plis bois supérieur et inférieur sont réalisés à fibres croisées et que sur les pattes du pommeau et les bandes latérales est montée une pièce en métal en forme de "L", les portes étrivières étant fixées à chaque patte et bande ainsi qu'à la pièce en forme de L.To this end, the method according to the invention for manufacturing a saddle tree comprising a front pommel or tourniquet and side bands made separately of a composite material comprising at least one upper wooden ply, at least one lower wooden ply, characterized in that between the upper and lower wooden plies are interposed layers of materials of natural or synthetic fibers and binding that the upper and lower wooden plies are made with crossed fibers and that on the legs of the pommel and the lateral bands is mounted a metal part in the shape of an "L", the stirrup doors being attached to each tab and strip as well as to the L-shaped part.

Avantageusement, l'arçon selon l'invention est constitué en une seule pièce monobloc.Advantageously, the tree according to the invention is made in a single piece.

Ces dispositions permettent de réaliser une selle à aspect traditionnel très légère et qui puisse recevoir facilement le sanglage du siège et la couverture traditionnelle.These provisions make it possible to produce a saddle with a very light traditional appearance and which can easily receive the seat strap and the traditional cover.

D'autres modes particuliers de réalisation selon l'invention sont indiqués dans les revendications 2-7.Other particular embodiments according to the invention are indicated in claims 2-7.

D'autres avantages et caractéristiques de l'invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description ci- après de l'invention donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif et illustrée par les dessins joints dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en plan d'un arçon de l'art antérieur,
  • la figure 2 est une vue schématique en coupe représentant la composition du composite utilisé pour réaliser le pommeau ou garrot et les bandes latérales avec troussequin,
  • la figure 3 est une vue en éclaté du pommeau ou garrot,
  • la figure 4 est une vue en éclaté d'une bande latérale,
  • la figure 5 est une vue de l'assemblage du pommeau ou garrot et des bandes latérales.
  • la figure 6 est une vue en éclaté du montage des bandes latérales et du pommeau ou garrot.
Other advantages and characteristics of the invention will appear on reading the following description of the invention given by way of nonlimiting example and illustrated by the accompanying drawings in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a plan view of a tree of the prior art,
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic sectional view showing the composition of the composite used to make the pommel or tourniquet and the side bands with cantle,
  • FIG. 3 is an exploded view of the pommel or tourniquet,
  • FIG. 4 is an exploded view of a side strip,
  • Figure 5 is a view of the assembly of the knob or tourniquet and the side bands.
  • Figure 6 is an exploded view of the mounting of the side bands and the pommel or tourniquet.

Tel que représenté en figure 1, un arçon traditionnel de l'art antérieur comprend le pommeau 1 cintré, les bandes latérales préformées 2 et le troussequin en contreplaqué préformé ou multipli 3.
Le cintrage du pommeau ou garrot et du troussequin s'effectue en arc de courbe de part et d'autre de l'axe médian longitudinal de l'arçon.
Ces pièces sont réalisées en bois.
As shown in FIG. 1, a traditional tree of the prior art comprises the curved pommel 1, the preformed side bands 2 and the cantle made of preformed or plywood plywood 3.
The bending of the pommel or tourniquet and the cantle is carried out in a curved arc on either side of the longitudinal median axis of the tree.
These pieces are made of wood.

Il est d'usage de les renforcer par des bandes métalliques ; une 4 au niveau du garrot, une 5 au niveau du troussequin et d'autres 6 au niveau des bandes latérales.
Ces bandes métalliques doivent être préalablement façonnées puis sont rivetées au bois.
Ce type d'arçon lourd est cependant fragile du fait du rivetage notamment des bandes métalliques de renfort.
It is customary to reinforce them with metal bands; a 4 at the withers, a 5 at the cantle and others 6 at the side bands.
These metal strips must be pre-shaped and then riveted to the wood.
This type of heavy tree is however fragile due to the riveting in particular of the metal reinforcing bands.

Selon le procédé objet de l'invention, le pommeau ou garrot 1 et les bandes latérales 2 sont réalisés en un matériau composite tel qu'illustré à la figure 2.
Le troussequin 3 peut être réalisé de toute manière connue. Ce matériau obtenu par pressage et/ou moulage comprend au moins un pli supérieur 7 en bois et au moins un pli inférieur 8 en bois entre lesquels sont disposés des plis 9 de couches de fibres de matériaux synthétiques avec résines telles que des fibres de verre ou des fibres de carbone ou kevlar ou toutes autres fibres naturelles ou synthétiques avec un liant.
Avantageusement, le pli supérieur 7 et le pli inférieur 8 comprennent le même nombre de couches de bois.
According to the process which is the subject of the invention, the pommel or tourniquet 1 and the side bands 2 are made of a composite material as illustrated in FIG. 2.
The troussequin 3 can be produced in any known manner. This material obtained by pressing and / or molding comprises at least one upper ply 7 made of wood and at least one lower ply 8 made of wood between which plies 9 are arranged. layers of fibers of synthetic materials with resins such as glass fibers or carbon or Kevlar fibers or any other natural or synthetic fibers with a binder.
Advantageously, the upper fold 7 and the lower fold 8 comprise the same number of layers of wood.

Suivant une disposition préférée de l'invention entre les couches 9 intermédiaires de fibre est disposée une couche 10 de bois constituée par une feuille de contreplaque ou multipli présentant "n" plis de bois par exemple au nombre de 9.
Les plis de bois sont réalisés à fibres croisées, ce qui permet d'obtenir une très bonne rigidité en torsion.
According to a preferred arrangement of the invention between the intermediate layers 9 of fiber, a layer 10 of wood is arranged, consisting of a sheet of plywood or plywood having "n" plies of wood, for example 9 in number.
The plies of wood are made with crossed fibers, which allows to obtain a very good torsional rigidity.

Ces dispositions de l'invention permettent de diminuer le gauchissement de l'arçon lors de la torsion ultérieure de sangles de la selle ou en cas de mauvaise implantation de celles-ci.
En fonction des critères recherchés, il est fait usage de multipli ou de contreplaqué.
These arrangements of the invention make it possible to reduce the warping of the tree during the subsequent twisting of saddle straps or in the event of poor implantation of these.
Depending on the criteria sought, use is made of plywood or plywood.

En figure 3 est représentée une vue en éclaté du pommeau 1 ou garrot avec les plis supérieur 7 et inférieur 8 en bois, les couches 9 de fibres et la couche 10 de bois en contreplaqué ou multipli.In Figure 3 is shown an exploded view of the pommel 1 or tourniquet with the upper plies 7 and lower 8 in wood, the layers 9 of fibers and the layer 10 of plywood or plywood.

Les couches de fibres sont constituées de tout type de fibres, synthétiques et/ou naturelles et de tous liants adaptés.The fiber layers consist of all types of fibers, synthetic and / or natural and all suitable binders.

La couche supérieure de fibre est de préférence un composite fibre de verre et résine et la couche inférieure de fibre par rapport à la couche médiane de contreplaqué ou multipli, est de préférence une couche de composite à base de fibre synthétique par exemple de fibre de carbone ou de kevlar et de verre et de résine ou de toute autre composition à qualités équivalentes.The upper layer of fiber is preferably a composite fiberglass and resin and the lower layer of fiber relative to the middle layer of plywood or plywood, is preferably a layer of composite based on synthetic fiber, for example carbon fiber or kevlar and glass and resin or any other composition with equivalent qualities.

En figure 4 est représentée une vue d'une bande latérale 2 cintrée à l'arrière pour former un demi-troussequin 3.
Les bandes latérales disposées de part et d'autre de l'axe peuvent être ou ne pas être jointives au niveau du troussequin.
In FIG. 4 is shown a view of a lateral strip 2 curved at the rear to form a half-cantle 3.
The lateral bands arranged on either side of the axis may or may not be contiguous at the cantle.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté, elles ne le sont pas.
Comme représenté, cette bande latérale comprend des plis bois supérieur 7 et inférieur 8.
Une couche de contreplaqué ou multipli en bois en plusieurs épaisseurs et deux couches intermédiaires de matériau composite en fibres naturelles et/ou synthétiques et de tous liants adaptés, entre les couches de bois.
Les fibres peuvent être des fibres de verre et le liant une résine.
In the embodiment shown, they are not.
As shown, this side strip includes upper 7 and lower 8 wood plies.
A layer of plywood or plywood in several thicknesses and two intermediate layers of composite material made of natural and / or synthetic fibers and all suitable binders, between the layers of wood.
The fibers may be glass fibers and the binder a resin.

Le garrot ou pommeau et les bandes latérales sont réalisés à la presse pour l'assemblage et la mise en forme puis sont découpés par tout système et procédé connu.
Le pommeau ou garrot peut présenter une échancrure 11 en arc de cercle à l'avant et présente deux pattes 12 de part et d'autre de l'échancrure 11.
The tourniquet or pommel and the lateral bands are produced by the press for assembly and shaping and are then cut by any known system and process.
The pommel or tourniquet can have a notch 11 in an arc at the front and has two tabs 12 on either side of the notch 11.

Comme représenté en figure 5, les bandes latérales 2 sont fixées par collage aux pattes 12 avec addition d'une pièce 13 métallique qui peut être rivetée en L dont la branche verticale est dans l'axe de la patte 12 et la branche horizontale est dans l'axe de la bande.As shown in Figure 5, the side bands 2 are fixed by gluing to the lugs 12 with the addition of a metal piece 13 which can be riveted in L whose vertical branch is in the axis of the lug 12 and the horizontal branch is in the axis of the strip.

En figure 6 est représentée la fixation en éclaté des pattes du garrot et des bandes latérales qui se fait par des entures 14 à mi-bois.In Figure 6 is shown the exploded fastening of the legs of the withers and the lateral bands which is done by half-timbered ribs 14.

Le porte étrivière est riveté à la fois par la pièce métallique 13 en "L" et sur la patte 12 ainsi que sur la bande latérale.
