Abstract: A stirrup leather bar for a horse saddle (1) adapted to receive a stirrup leather (4) carrying a stirrup (5) and provided with a pivotal member (12) defining two possible positions of adjustment for the stirrup leather, namely a first position (4a) in front of the pivotal member (12) in the raised position of the latter which constitutes a stop for the stirrup leather, and a second rear position (4b) in which the pivotal member (12) is swung over. This bar enables the horseman to easily find his correct position on the saddle irrespective of the morphology and aptitude of the horseman.

Abstract: This fastener comprises two elements (3, 4) connected to the band (1), the first element (3) including a pin (9) adapted to be fitted into retaining bearing surfaces (12) defined by hooks (13) on the second element (4), and a clasp (11) associated with the pin (9) and capable of being swung over and locked onto the second element (4). The second element (4) is provided with a safety hook (16) pivotally mounted on a transverse pin (10) of the second element and capable of being clipped onto the pin (9) of the first element (3) before the clasp (11) is swung over onto the second element (4). The fastener may be easily adjusted with one hand and does not require the provision of adjustment orifices on the band and hides the free end portion of the band, this end portion of the band being indeed interposed between the surface of the object surrounded by the band and the end portion (1a) of the band carrying the first element (3).

Abstract: A closing device includes a keeper provided with a retaining element for retaining a bolt in the keeper in a closed position of the device. The retaining element is mounted to be pivotable about and to be axially movable on a rod provided in the keeper and is resiliently biased to both axially slide on and pivot about the rod in such manner that, in an active position, the retaining element projects into an extension of an opening into which the bolt is capable of entering so as to close the device, and it is brought to a retracted position by axially sliding along the rod while being automatically returned to its active position from its retracted position as soon as the bolt is extracted from the keeper under the effect of the resilient force exerted by a spring.
