Definitions

  • the invention relates to a stirrup with a web that carries a rider's shoe when riding, and with an upper part that is provided with a fastening means for a riser of a stirrup.
  • This stirrup of the type mentioned is generally known. Typically, it has a one-piece metal part, which forms both the upper part and the metallic region of the web, and a support part, which is pressed into a longitudinal slot of the metallic web part.
  • This support part is an elastomer block with a downwardly projecting, mushroom-shaped extension that can be compressed elastically, for this it has a longitudinal slot. It can thereby be detachably pressed into the metallic part of the web, but detachably with considerable force.
  • This known support part of the web is made of a relatively hard rubber. It has regularly protruding knobs on the surface. It has a certain spring property, but this is low, and the damping is negligible.
  • the invention has set itself the task of developing the stirrup of the type mentioned in such a way that good cushioning is achieved without the center of gravity of the stirrup being shifted upwards and that the measures for the cushioning are simple and, if possible, also interchangeable Damping bodies can be achieved.
  • this object is achieved in that a damping body is arranged between the web and the shoe on the stirrup.
  • the invention thus proposes to further develop and shape the known support body in such a way that it is an effective damping body.
  • An effective damping body is understood to mean a body which, like a shock absorber in a motor vehicle, compresses much more easily than springs, that is, converts kinetic energy into other types of energy, in particular heat, and in any case is as little elastic as possible. For example, so-called viscoelastic behavior is sought.
  • the damping body according to the invention which is arranged on the web, has considerable advantages over the damping cylinder, as has been described in detail.
  • the mass of this damping body is located below the foot of a rider, so the stirrup continues to fall naturally, pulled by the force of gravity, it maintains this position even more favorably than the stirrup of the type mentioned at the beginning. A tilting, as is the case with the stirrup occurs with damping cylinder is prevented.
  • Damping elastomeric materials are known in principle, for example from so-called fall protection panels, such as are laid on children's playgrounds and are located in the area of such play equipment from which the children can fall, for example climbing frames.
  • fall protection panels are typically composed of one Mixture of shredded waste rubber material, for example tire rubber and an adhesive, for example polyurethane.
  • an adhesive for example polyurethane.
  • the damping body in the form of a console in cross section. This creates an inclined contact surface for the sole of a rider. This enables a rider to adapt the stirrup better to his own wishes and riding behavior.
  • the damping body is realized by a footplate and a shock absorber, as is known from the automotive industry. At its other end, this shock absorber is attached to the web of the stirrup.
  • a pillow filled with a liquid is arranged on the web, which cooperates with a second pillow below the web via small, partially valve-provided bores.
  • the liquid is also in this second pillow.
  • the liquid is pressed from the upper pillow into the lower pillow. Due to the valves, this flow process is very quick. However, the flow process running in the opposite direction takes a longer time because here the valves close several of the small passages or channels.
  • FIG. 2 a partial view of a stirrup according to FIG. 1, but now in the form of a desk and with energy absorption bodies in the form of liquid-filled cylinders with an elastic sleeve that seals tightly,
  • Fig. 4 a representation corresponding to Figure 3, but now with a damping body in the form of two communicating pillows, which are arranged on the top and bottom of the web
  • 5 a representation corresponding to FIG. 3, but now with a damping body in the form of a footplate and a shock absorber connected to it, which in turn is held on the web.
  • the stirrup has a web 20.
  • the web 20 carries a rider's shoe 22 when riding.
  • the stirrup has an upper part 24, which i.a. forms two side legs and has a fastening means, here in the form of an elongated hole, for a carrying strap (not shown).
  • a damping body 26 is arranged between shoe 22 and web 20.
  • it consists of the material, that is to say rubber, which is also used for the support part of the known stirrup, only a total of five additional bores 28 are provided, which run transversely to the opening area, equally and parallel to one another.
  • the thickness of the damping body is preferably greater than the thickness of the previously known support part, the thickness is about 20 mm, it can now be between 23 and 40 mm.
  • five through bores 28 are again provided in a damping body 26 made of rubber, but this time the bores 28 are filled with energy absorption bodies 30, five of which are provided. These are cylindrical, all-round sleeves made of an elastic material, in particular plastic film or rubber film. Inside the energy absorption body are filled with a liquid, for example oil. When pressure is applied to the damping body 26, the bores 28 are deformed, which leads to a movement of the liquid in the energy absorption bodies and thus to an energy absorption.
  • FIG. 2 also shows a feature that is independent of the arrangement of energy absorption bodies 30 in the bores 28: the surface of the damping body 26 now no longer runs parallel to the web 26, but rather inclined. In other words, the damping body 26 has a desk shape. This leads to an inclined support surface for a shoe 22, as some riders desire.
  • a damping body 26 is provided, which is made from a mixture of rubber parts, in particular rough flour, and polyurethane.
  • the desired damping values are achieved by a suitable mixture.
  • a mixture is used here, as is also used for fall protection panels in children's playgrounds.
  • the damping body 26 is easily detachably connected to the web 20.
  • a first, flat adhesive 32 is provided on the underside of the damping body 26, which is preferably designed as a part area of a Velcro fastener.
  • a second adhesive 34 which is adapted to the first adhesive 32, is arranged flat on the top of the web 20.
  • This second adhesive 34 is preferably the second partial area of a commercially available Velcro fastener.
  • the damping body is no longer an elastomer body, rather a first cushion 36 is provided on the top of a narrower web 20, which is determined by an elastic, dense casing 38.
  • a corresponding second cushion is provided, which is delimited by a cover 42, which is significantly stiffer than the cover 38.
  • the interiors of the two are sealed Cushions 36, 40 communicate via passages 44, which are provided in the web 20.
  • passages 44 Only a few are designed as free passages, like the central passage in FIG. 4. Most of the passages have a valve, which is represented in FIG. 4 by a valve flap.
  • the valve flap 46 is normally closed.
  • the second cushion 40 has an envelope 42, which is elastic but stiffer than the envelope 38 of the first cushion 36. This ensures that the initial state, as also shown in FIG. 4, always occurs when no external forces act .
  • the material for the sleeves 38, 42 can be the same for both sleeves, as shown in FIG. 4, the sleeve 42 has a significantly greater thickness than the sleeve 38, thereby achieving the desired higher rigidity of the second sleeve 42.
  • the damping body has a plate 50 on which a rider's shoe rests.
  • the plate 50 is connected to a shock absorber 52, which in turn is arranged on the web 20.
  • This shock absorber 52 has an inner tube 54 which is fixed to the plate 50 and an outer tube 56 which is fixed to the web 20.
  • the plate 50 is designed such that it laterally overlaps the legs of the upper part 24 with air, as shown in FIG. 5. The movement takes place in the sense of the double arrow 58.
