Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Pferdetrensengebiß mit zwei seitlichen Ringen und einem zwischen diesen Ringen angeordneten Bügel, der einerseits mindestens ein Gelenk hat und andererseits zwei Seitenabschnitte aufweist, wobei in dem von dem mindestens einen Gelenk entfernten Ende jedes der Seitenabschnitte eine Bohrung für die frei bewegliche Aufnahme jeweils eines der Ringe ausgebildet ist.The invention relates to a snaffle bit with two lateral Rings and a bracket arranged between these rings, the on the one hand has at least one joint and on the other hand two side sections having, in the end remote from the at least one joint each of the side sections has a bore for the freely movable receptacle one of the rings is formed.

Ein derartiges Pferdetrensengebiß ist bekannt aus der europäischen Patentschrift EP-A-0 17 959. Dieses Pferdetrensengebiß hat sich grundsätzlich sehr bewährt. Weiterhin wird Bezug genommen auf die in dieser europäischen Patentschrift aufgeführten, vorbekannten Pferdetrensengebisse, insbesondere nach der US-A-4,005,564; GB-A-7712/1914; GB-A-65/1913 und DE-C-194 071.Such a snaffle bit is known from the European Patent EP-A-0 17 959. This horse snaffle bit has basically a lot proven. Furthermore, reference is made to those in this European Known horse snaffle bits listed in the patent, in particular according to US-A-4,005,564; GB-A-7712/1914; GB-A-65/1913 and DE-C-194 071.

Insbesondere bewährt hat sich bei der Ausbildung des vorbekannten Pferdetrensengebisses der eingangs genannten Art, den Bügel glatt, mit fließenden Konturen und ohne Kanten auszubilden und Übergänge zwischen einzelnen Abschnitten des Bügels weich auszuführen. Auch eine Querschnittsverjüngung der Seitenabschnitte von den Ringen nach innen hin hat sich als sehr vorteilhaft herausgestellt und wird beibehalten. Gleiches gilt für die gekrümmte Ausbildung des Bügels, wonach eine die Bohrungen für die frei bewegliche Aufnahme der beiden Ringe verbindende Mittellinie des Bügels nach vorn zum Gaumen des Pferdes hin gebogen verläuft. Dieses Merkmal wird bei dem Gebiß der eingangs genannten Art dadurch erreicht, dass der Bügel mindestens ein Gelenk hat, so dass die gebogene Ausbildung sich einstellen kann. Has proven particularly useful in the training of the known Horse snaffle bit of the type mentioned, the temple smooth, with flowing contours and without forming edges and transitions between to execute soft sections of the bracket. Also one Cross-sectional tapering of the side sections from the rings inwards hin has turned out to be very advantageous and will be maintained. The same applies to the curved design of the bracket, according to which the Bores for the freely movable mounting of the two rings connecting The center line of the bracket is bent forward towards the palate of the horse runs. This feature is in the dentition of the type mentioned achieved in that the bracket has at least one joint, so that the curved training can occur.

Gebisse, deren Bügel mit einem Gelenk versehen ist, werden im folgenden auch als "einfach gebrochene" Gebisse bezeichnet, Gebisse mit einem Bügel mit zwei Gelenken als "doppelt gebrochene" Gebisse. Diese beiden Ausführungen des Pferdetrensengebisses der eingangs genannten Art haben bei Reitern eine hohe Anerkennung gefunden.Bits with a hinge with a hinge are shown below also known as "simply broken" bits, bits with a clip with two joints as "double broken" bits. These two designs of the horse snaffle bit of the type mentioned at the beginning Riders found high recognition.

Die vorliegende Erfindung möchte unter Beibehaltung wesentlicher Merkmale des Pferdetrensengebisses der eingangs genannten Art dieses dahingehend weiterbilden, dass es noch günstiger und vorteilhafter einem Pferd angepaßt ist und in ein Pferdemaul paßt. Bei dem Pferdetrensengebiß der eingangs genannten Art hat es sich nämlich herausgestellt, dass der Druck, der durch Zug an den Zügeln bewirkt wird, nicht immer nur auf die Zunge eines Pferdes wirkt, sondern teilweise auch auf den Gaumen. Gerade ein Druck auf den Gaumen ist aber unerwünscht.The present invention seeks to maintain essential features of the snaffle bit of the type mentioned at the outset educate that it is even cheaper and more advantageous adapted to a horse and fits into a horse's mouth. With the horse snaffle bit at the beginning Namely, it has been found that the pressure that by pulling on the reins, not always on the tongue of one Horse works, but sometimes also on the palate. Just a print on the palate is undesirable.

Hier setzt nun die Erfindung ein. Sie hat es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, das Pferdetrensengebiß der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend weiterzubilden, dass die Paßform für ein Pferd verbessert ist und sich ein Zug an den Zügeln, der über die Ringe cingeleitet wird, im wesentlichen auf die Zunge auswirkt. Dabei soll gewährleistet sein, dass sich das Gebiß möglichst gut der Anatomie eines Pferdemauls anpassen kann.This is where the invention begins. It has set itself the task of To further develop horse snaffle bit of the type mentioned at the beginning, that the fit for a horse is improved and there is a pull on the reins, which is passed through the rings, essentially onto the tongue effect. It should be ensured that the teeth are as good as possible can adapt to the anatomy of a horse's mouth.

Ausgehend von dem Pferdetrensengebiß der eingangs genannten Art wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass die Achsen der beiden Bohrungen eine Ebene definieren, die in einem Winkel von 45° ± 20°, vorzugsweise 45° ± 10°, zur Gelenkachse des mindestens einen Gelenks verläuft.Based on the snaffle bit of the type mentioned at the beginning solved this problem in that the axes of the two holes one Define plane that is at an angle of 45 ° ± 20 °, preferably 45 ° ± 10 °, runs to the joint axis of the at least one joint.

Während bei dem vorbekannten Pferdetrensengebiß die Gelenkachsen der Gelenke des Bügels sich in der Ebene befinden, die durch die Bohrungen für die Ringe definiert ist und von dieser Winkellage der Gelenkachsen nur eine kleine Abweichung aus der Ebene zugelassen ist, geht die Erfindung genau den entgegengesetzten Weg. Sie ordnet bewußt die Gelenkachsen des mindestens einen Gelenks des Bügels in einem Winkel von 45° ± 20° von der Ebene der Bohrungen an. Dadurch erhält das Gebiß eine Gelenkigkeit in einer zweiten Ebene, die im Winkel von 45° zur Ebene der Bohrungen verläuft. Das Gebiß kann sich dadurch räumlich besser einem Pferdemaul anpassen, es hat höhere Freiheitsgrade in der Bewegung als das Pferdetrensengebiß nach dem eingangs genannten Stand der Technik.While the articulated axes of the Joints of the bracket are in the plane through the holes for the rings is defined and only one of these angular positions of the joint axes small deviation from the level is allowed, the invention goes exactly the opposite way. It consciously arranges the joint axes of the at least a hinge of the bracket at an angle of 45 ° ± 20 ° from the plane of the holes. This gives the bit flexibility in one second level, which is at an angle of 45 ° to the level of the holes. The bit can adapt better to a horse's mouth, it has higher degrees of freedom in movement than the snaffle bit according to the prior art mentioned at the beginning.

Bei Versuchen hat es sich herausgestellt, dass dieses Gebiß eine deutlich verbesserte Paßform hat, verstärkt auf die Zunge eines Pferdes wirkt und sich besser der Anatomie des Pferdemauls anpaßt.In experiments it has been found that this dentition is clear has an improved fit, acts on the tongue of a horse and adapts better to the anatomy of the horse's mouth.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführung ist das erfindungsgemäße Pferdetrensengebiß einfach oder zweifach gebrochen. Zwar kann auch eine Anzahl von Gelenken drei und darüber vorgesehen sein, die bevorzugten Ausführungsformen liegen jedoch bei dem einfach gebrochenen und zweifach gebrochenen Gebiß.In a preferred embodiment, the horse snaffle bit according to the invention broken once or twice. A number of Joints three and above are provided, the preferred embodiments lie with the single broken and double broken Denture.

Darüber hinaus hat es sich als sehr vorteilhaft erwiesen, das erfindungsgemäße Gebiß ebenso wie das vorbekannte Gebiß der eingangs genannten Art aus einer hohe Kupfergehalte aufweisenden, dennoch eine hohe mechanische Festigkeit besitzenden Legierung herzustellen, wie sie in der deutschen Patentschrift DE 43 26 550 C1 beschrieben ist.In addition, it has proven very advantageous to use the inventive Bit as well as the previously known bit of the type mentioned from a high copper content, yet a high mechanical Manufacture strength alloy, as in the German Patent specification DE 43 26 550 C1 is described.

Die Ausbildung der Gelenke ist grundsätzlich beliebig. Hier kann auf die Ausführungen zurückgegriffen werden, wie sie in der eingangs genannten europäischen Patentschrift, und dem weiteren Stand der Technik beschrieben sind. Insbesondere haben sich aber einfache Ausbildungen der Gelenke bewährt, bei denen die Gelenke im wesentlichen durch das Ineinandergreifen zweier Ringe definiert sind. Derartige Gelenke haben einen größeren Bewegungsspielraum als Gelenke, die durch eine feste Gelenkachse definiert sind, und bei denen die beiden durch die Gelenkachse verbundenen Teilstücke sich nur auf einer Ebene relativ zueinander bewegen können. Bei Ausbildung der Gelenke durch Ringe werden zudem weiche Übergänge erzielt. Es ist eine einfache Herstellung möglich. Die Pflege und Reinigung ist leicht, weil die einzelnen Hohlräume gut zugänglich sind. Darüber hinaus werden zusätzliche Materialien, die das Gelenk gängig machen, nicht benötigt. Schließlich ist ein Einklemmen der Pferdezunge usw. bei dieser Ausbildung der Gelenke nicht zu befürchten.The formation of the joints is basically arbitrary. Here can be on the Versions are used as they are mentioned in the introduction European patent specification, and the further prior art described are. In particular, there have been simple designs of the joints proven in which the joints essentially through the interlocking two rings are defined. Such joints have a greater range of motion as joints defined by a fixed joint axis are, and in which the two sections connected by the hinge axis can only move relative to one another on one level. at The formation of the joints by rings also creates smooth transitions. Simple manufacture is possible. The care and cleaning is easy because the individual cavities are easily accessible. Furthermore additional materials that make the joint common are not required. Finally, the tongue of the horse, etc. is jammed in this training of the joints not to be feared.

In einer bevorzugten Ausbildung hat bei einem zweifach gebrochenen Gebiß der Mittenabschnitt zwei zueinander parallele Bohrungen für die Ausbildung der beiden Gelenke des Bügels. Es ist aber durchaus möglich, den Mittenabschnitt mit zwei Bohrungen zu versehen, die um 90° versetzt sind.In a preferred embodiment, it has a double broken bit the center section two mutually parallel holes for training of the two joints of the bracket. But it is quite possible the middle section to be provided with two holes that are offset by 90 °.

Als besonders günstig hat es sich erwiesen, den Mittenabschnitt bei einem zweifach gebrochenen Gebiß möglichst kurz auszuführen. So haben sich Mittenabschnitte mit einer Maximallänge von 4 cm, insbesondere von 3 cm als günstig erwiesen. Bei einfach gebrochenen Gebissen wird ein kurzer mittlerer Bereich ähnlich einem Mittenabschnitt schon dadurch realisiert, dass das dort vorgesehene, einzige Gelenk verdickt gegenüber den angrenzenden Bereichen ausgebildet ist und dabei auch die benötigte Kürze unter 4 bzw. 3, 2 oder unter 1 cm, die eingangs gefordert wurde, erhalten wird.It has proven to be particularly favorable to have the central section at one double broken bit as short as possible. So have yourself Center sections with a maximum length of 4 cm, in particular 3 cm proven to be cheap. With simply broken teeth, a short one middle area similar to a central section already realized by that the only joint provided there thickens compared to the adjacent one Areas and the required brevity under 4 or 3, 2 or less than 1 cm, which was requested at the beginning.

In einer weiteren, bevorzugten Ausbildung verlaufen die beiden Achsen der Bohrungen für die Ringe bei normaler Auflage des Gebisses auf einer ebenen Fläche nicht parallel zueinander, sie liegen zwar in einer Ebene, schließen aber einen Winkel von kleiner 90° mit der Längsachse des Bügels ein. Sie verlaufen dabei V-förmig zueinander. Dadurch wird je nach Orientierung des Gebisses im Maul eines Pferdes der Druck auf die Zunge verstärkt, wenn die Zügel angezogen werden. Durch die nicht mehr rechtwinklige Ausbildung der Bohrungen wird eine Bewegungskomponente beim Anziehen der Zügel in das Gebiß hineingebracht, die positive Effekte, insbesondere eine deutlich verbesserte Belastung der Zunge, hat. In a further preferred embodiment, the two axes of the Bores for the rings with normal placement of the bit on a flat surface Surface not parallel to each other, they are in one plane, close but an angle of less than 90 ° with the longitudinal axis of the bracket. she run V-shaped to each other. Depending on the orientation of the Bit in the mouth of a horse the pressure on the tongue increases when the Reins are tightened. Due to the no longer rectangular training the holes becomes a component of motion when tightening the reins in brought in the teeth, the positive effects, especially one clear improved tongue stress.

In der soeben beschriebenen Ausbildung hat es sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen, wenn bei in einem Pferdemaul befindlichem Pferdetrensengebiß die beiden Achsen der Bohrungen sich unterhalb der Zunge des Pferdes, also unterhalb des Kinns schneiden. Dabei setzt die gewünschte positive Belastung der Zunge bevorzugt ein. Es ist aber durchaus möglich, die Bohrungen genau anders herum anzuordnen. Die Anordnung hängt auch von der Winkellage der Hauptgelenkachsen des mindestens einen Gelenks des Bügels ab. In Abstimmung mit diesen Gelenkachsen werden die Bohrungen so schräg ausgeführt, dass die gewünschte positive Belastung der Zunge erreicht wird.In the training just described, it has proven to be advantageous if the two are with a snaffle bit in a horse's mouth The axes of the holes are below the tongue of the horse, i.e. below cut the chin. The desired positive load of the Tongue preferred one. However, it is quite possible to drill the holes precisely to arrange the other way around. The arrangement also depends on the angular position the main joint axes of the at least one joint of the bracket. In coordination with these joint axes, the holes are made at an angle, that the desired positive stress on the tongue is achieved.

Schließlich hat es sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen, den Mittenabschnitt im Vergleich zu den angrenzenden Seitenabschnitten verdickt auszubilden. Wie beim Stand der Technik verjüngen sich die Seitenabschnitte ausgehend von den Ringen nach innen hin. Im Mittelbereich wird dann wieder eine größere Dicke erreicht. Die geringste Dicke liegt somit zwischen Mittelbereich und den Ringen. Diese Ausbildung ist sowohl bei dem einfach gebrochenen als auch bei den zweifach gebrochenen Gebiß möglich und erwünscht.Finally, it has proven advantageous to compare the central section to thicken to the adjacent side sections. How in the prior art, the side portions taper from the rings inside. In the middle area there will be a bigger one Thickness reached. The smallest thickness is therefore between the middle area and the rings. This training is both simple and easy possible and desirable even with the double broken dentition.

Für die gesamte Darstellung der Erfindung gilt, dass mit den Begriffen oben, unten, vorn und hinten Bezug genommen wird auf die Lage des Gebisses in einem Pferdemaul bei normaler Kopfhaltung des Pferdes. Daher bedeutet "oben" der den Ohren des Pferdes benachbarte Bereich, "unten" der Bereich der Maulöffnung, "vorne" der Bereich des Nasenbeins und "hinten" der Bereich des Unterkiefers.For the entire representation of the invention, the following applies that with the terms above, below, front and back reference is made to the position of the bit in a horse's mouth when the horse is in a normal head position. Therefore means "above" the area adjacent to the horse's ears, "below" the area the mouth opening, "front" the area of the nasal bone and "back" the area of the lower jaw.

Weitere Vorteile und Merkmale der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den übrigen Ansprüchen sowie der nun folgenden Beschreibung von nicht einschränkend zu verstehenden Ausführungsbeispielen der Erfindung, die unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung im folgenden näher erläutert werden. In der Zeichnung zeigen:

Wie aus den Figuren 1 und 2 ersichtlich ist, hat das Pferdetrensengebiß zwei seitliche Ringe 20, 22 und einen zwischen diesen beiden Ringen 20, 22 angeordneten Bügel 24. Er ist im Ausführungsbeispiel nach Figur 1 zweifach gebrochen, im Ausführungsbeispiel nach den Figuren 2 bis 4 ist er einfach gebrochen. Demgemäß hat das Ausführungsbeispiel nach Figur 1 zwei Gelenke 26, 28, die sich beidseits eines Mittenabschnitts 30 befinden, während bei dem zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel der Bügel ein einziges Gelenk 26 hat.As can be seen from Figures 1 and 2, the snaffle bit has two lateral rings 20, 22 and one arranged between these two rings 20, 22 Strap 24. In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1, it is double broken, in the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 2 to 4 it is simple Broken. Accordingly, the embodiment of Figure 1 has two joints 26, 28, which are located on both sides of a central section 30, during in the second embodiment, the bracket has a single joint 26.

Der Bügel 24 hat zwei Seitenabschnitte 29, 31. In den Seitenabschnitten sind Bohrungen 32 für die frei bewegliche Aufnahme jeweils eines Ringes 20 bzw. 22 ausgebildet. Auf die Winkellage dieser Bohrungen 32 wird später noch eingegangen. Diese beiden Bohrungen 32 an den freien Endbereichen des Bügels 24 definieren eine Ebene, die in der Darstellung nach den Figuren 1 und 2 mit der Ebene des Blattes zusammenfällt. In der Darstellung nach Figur 3 verläuft diese Ebene senkrecht zur Papierebene.The bracket 24 has two side sections 29, 31. In the side sections are holes 32 for the freely movable reception of a ring 20 or 22 trained. The angular position of these holes 32 will be discussed later still received. These two holes 32 at the free end areas of the bracket 24 define a plane that in the illustration according to the figures 1 and 2 coincide with the plane of the sheet. In the illustration According to Figure 3, this plane is perpendicular to the paper plane.

In den dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen sind die Gelenke 26, 28 jeweils als mit Spiel ineinandergreifende Ösen ausgeführt, die an den inneren Endbereichen der Seitenabschnitte 29, 31 bzw. bei dem zweifach gebrochenen Gebiß auch am Mittenabschnitt 30 ausgebildet sind. Diese spezielle Ausbildung der Gelenke 26, 28 ermöglicht einen begrenzt dreidimensionalen Bewegungsbereich der so verbundenen Teile. Als Gelenkachse wird die Mitte des zulässigen Gelenksbereichs verstanden. Sie entspricht im wesentlichen der räumlichen Lage einer zentrischen Achse durch eine Öse. Die Gelenkachse ist in Figur 3 strichpunktiert mit 34 dargestellt. Aufgrund der speziellen Ausbildung des Gelenks durch zwei ineinandergreifende Ösen ergibt sich noch eine zweite, hier zu 90° winklig angeordnete Gelenkachse 36. Sie ist in Figur 3 strichpunktiert mit der Linie 36 dargestellt. Beide verlaufen in einem Winkel von 45° zur Ebene der Bohrungen 32 und damit in Figur 3 zur Ebene des Papiers.In the illustrated embodiments, the joints 26, 28 are each designed as interlocking eyelets on the inner end areas of the side sections 29, 31 or the double broken Teeth are also formed on the central section 30. This special training the joints 26, 28 allow a limited three-dimensional range of motion of the connected parts. The middle becomes the hinge axis of the permissible joint area understood. It essentially corresponds the spatial position of a central axis through an eyelet. The hinge axis is shown in FIG. 3 with the dot-dash line at 34. Because of the special Formation of the joint results from two interlocking eyelets there is a second joint axis 36 arranged here at an angle of 90 ° is shown in dash-dotted lines with the line 36 in Figure 3. Both run in an angle of 45 ° to the plane of the holes 32 and thus in Figure 3 to Level of paper.

In der Ausführung nach Figur 2 bis 4 ist zur besseren Darstellung der freie Innenquerschnitt des Lochs jeder Öse relativ groß im Vergleich zum Querschnitt des Rings, der die Öse bildet, ausgeführt, so dass z. B. auch in Längsrichtung der Seitenabschnitte 29, 31 die Gelenke 26, ein großes Spiel haben. Dadurch wird die Darstellung besser verständlich. In der praktischen Ausführung sind die Freiräume jedoch kleiner. Der Ringquerschnitt füllt mindestens die Hälfte des Ösenlochs, vorzugsweise mehr aus, wie dies auch aus Figur 1 ersichtlich ist. In einer bevorzugten Ausführung ist der Ringquerschnitt größer als 70 % des freien Querschnitts des Ösenlochs, 80 % sind ebenfalls möglich, genauso 90 %.In the embodiment according to FIGS. 2 to 4, the free one is shown for better illustration Internal cross section of the hole of each eyelet is relatively large compared to the cross section of the ring that forms the eyelet, so that z. B. also in Longitudinal direction of the side sections 29, 31, the joints 26, a large game to have. This makes the display easier to understand. In practical Execution, however, the free spaces are smaller. The ring cross section fills at least half of the eyelet, preferably more, as well can be seen from Figure 1. In a preferred embodiment, the Ring cross-section greater than 70% of the free cross-section of the eyelet, 80 % are also possible, as are 90%.

In der Ausbildung nach Figur 1 hat der Mittenabschnitt 30 zwei parallel zueinander verlaufende Gelenkbohrungen 38, 40. In einer anderen Ausbildung können diese Gelenkbohrungen auch um 90° gegeneinander versetzt sein. In der Darstellung nach Figur 1 haben diese beiden Bohrungen einen relativ kurzen Abstand voneinander, er liegt beispielsweise zwischen 2 und 3 cm. Dadurch wird der gesamte Mittenabschnitt 30 recht kurz, er ist maximal 4 cm lang, vorzugsweise ist er maximal 3 cm lang. Er ist deutlich gegenüber dem angrenzenden Bereich der Seitenabschnitte verdickt, so dass die schon erwähnte größere Querschnittsabmessung in der Mitte des Bügels 24 erreicht wird. Symmetrisch zu beiden Seiten verringert sich die Querschnittsabmessung des Bügels 24 in beiden Ausführungsbeispielen, um dann wieder im Bereich der Bohrung 32 zu einer Dicke anzusteigen, die etwa mit der Dicke in der Mitte vergleichbar ist.In the embodiment according to FIG. 1, the central section 30 has two parallel to one another running joint bores 38, 40. In another training these hinge holes can also be offset from each other by 90 °. In 1, these two holes have a relative short distance from each other, for example between 2 and 3 cm. As a result, the entire central section 30 becomes quite short, it is a maximum of 4 cm long, preferably a maximum of 3 cm long. He is clearly opposite the adjacent area of the side sections thickened so that the already mentioned larger cross-sectional dimension reached in the middle of the bracket 24 becomes. The cross-sectional dimension is reduced symmetrically on both sides of the bracket 24 in both embodiments to then increase again in the area of the bore 32 to a thickness which is approximately is comparable to the thickness in the middle.

Der Mittenabschnitt 30 ist in Figur 1 etwa olivenförmig ausgeführt. Er kann auch anders ausgeführt sein, beispielsweise als eine Scheibe, an der seitlich zwei Ösen axial vorspringen, als eine Rolle, als ein eher kugelförmiges Gebilde usw..The central section 30 is approximately olive-shaped in FIG. He can also be designed differently, for example as a disc on the side protrude two eyes axially, as a roll, as a more spherical structure etc..

Wie insbesondere aus den Figuren 3 und 4 ersichtlich ist, sind die Seitenabschnitte gekrümmt. Dies ist insbesondere aus Figur 4 zu entnehmen, dort ist sichtbar, dass der gesamte Mittenabschnitt 30 auf einem leichten Bogen liegt. Die Bogenform ist so gewählt, dass im Pferdemaul die Mitte des Bügels 24 weiter nach unten ragt als die restlichen Teile des Bügels.As can be seen in particular from FIGS. 3 and 4, the side sections are curved. This can be seen in particular from FIG. 4, there it can be seen that the entire central section 30 is on a slight curve lies. The arch shape is chosen so that the middle of the bracket in the horse's mouth 24 protrudes further down than the remaining parts of the bracket.

Wie insbesondere aus Figur 2 ersichtlich ist, verlaufen die beiden Bohrungen 32 jeweils nicht im rechten Winkel zur Längsrichtung der Seitenabschnitte, sondern in einem Winkel beta, der ungleich 90° ist, insbesondere in einem Winkel von β = 60 bis 85°. Aus Figur 2 ist dies ersichtlich. Figur 2 zeigt, dass die Bohrungen 32 die freien, äußeren Enden der Seitenabschnitte schräg durchsetzen, mit 42 sind die Achsen der Bohrungen 32 strichpunktiert dargestellt. 44 ist eine ebenfalls strichpunktierte, gerade Verbindungslinie durch die freien Endbereiche der Seitenabschnitte. Die strichpunktierte Gerade 46 ist eine Parallele zur Gerade 44 und wurde eingezeichnet, um die Schnittwinkel zu den Achsen 42 besser darstellen zu können. Aus Figur 2 ist ersichtlich, dass die Achsen 42 in einem Winkel β von etwa 82° zur Geraden 46 verlaufen. Dabei schneiden sich die beiden Achsen 42 hinten. Es ist zu erkennen, dass die Anordnung abgesehen von der konkreten Ausbildung des Gelenks klappsymmetrisch zu einer Mittellinie ist. As can be seen in particular from FIG. 2, the two bores run 32 each not at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the side sections, but at an angle beta that is not equal to 90 °, especially at one Angles from β = 60 to 85 °. This can be seen from FIG. Figure 2 shows that the holes 32 the free outer ends of the side portions Push through diagonally, with 42 the axes of the holes 32 are dash-dotted shown. 44 is also a dash-dotted, straight connecting line through the free end areas of the side sections. The dash-dotted Line 46 is a parallel to line 44 and has been drawn in to the To be able to better represent the intersection angle to the axes 42. From Figure 2 is can be seen that the axes 42 at an angle β of about 82 ° to the straight line 46 run. The two axes 42 intersect at the rear. It's closed recognize that the arrangement apart from the specific training of the Joint is symmetrical to a center line.

Im Gegensatz zu dem Pferdetrensengebiß nach dem Stand der Technik hat das Pferdetrensengebiß nach der Erfindung eine Seite, die üblicherweise vorn liegen sollte. Sie ist in den Figuren 1 und 2 mit dem Pfeil 48 gekennzeichnet. Bei praktisch ausgebildeten Gebissen sind die entsprechenden Flächen mindestens eines Abschnitts, beispielsweise eines Seitenabschnitts, entsprechend gekennzeichnet, beispielsweise mit "vorn".In contrast to the horse snaffle bit according to the prior art the horse snaffle bit according to the invention one side, usually should be in front. It is identified by the arrow 48 in FIGS. 1 and 2. In the case of practically trained bits, the corresponding surfaces are at least one section, for example a side section, marked accordingly, for example with "front".

Das Gebiß der vorbekannten Art befindet sich je nach Konstruktion entweder nur bei losem oder nur bei angenommenem Zügel in günstiger Position in der Maulhöhle des Pferdes. Die Verbesserung besteht darin, daß das neue Gebiß sowohl bei losem als auch bei angenommenem Zügel den Raumverhältnissen in der Maulhöhle des Pferdes gleichmäßig angepaßt ist.The bit of the known type is either depending on the construction only with loose or only with adopted reins in a favorable position in the horse's mouth. The improvement is that the new one Bit both with loose and with adopted reins the spatial conditions is evenly adjusted in the horse's mouth.

Vorteilhafterweise hat der Mittenabschnitt 30 zwei Bohrungen 38, 40, deren Mittellinien einen Abstand unter 2,5 cm, vorzugsweise unter 2 cm haben.The central section 30 advantageously has two bores 38, 40, the Center lines have a distance of less than 2.5 cm, preferably less than 2 cm.

Vorzugsweise sind das mindestens eine Gelenk 26, 28 und alle weiteren Gelenke 26, 28 als mit Spiel ineinandergreifende Ösen an den Endbereichen der Seitenabschnitte bzw. der Mittenabschnitte 30 ausgebildet.This is preferably at least one joint 26, 28 and all further joints 26, 28 as interlocking eyelets at the end areas the side sections or the center sections 30 are formed.
