Abstract: The invention relates to a device in a riding saddle for fixing stirrup leathers (5) belonging to the saddle. The device comprises a safety element (1) on each side of the saddle, these being designed as a mirror image of one another and fitted to the saddle. Each safety element comprises an arm (1a), which at its remote end has a pivoted locking pin (1b). The arm (1a) when riding is directed essentially horizontally backwards with the locking pin (1b) pointing upwards in order in normal riding to prevent a stirrup leather, running over the arm (1a), from leaving this. Under increased stress as a result of abnormal circumstances the locking pin (1b) is bent backwards, thereby allowing the stirrup leather (5) to be released. The device further comprises a sleeve (4) that can be threaded on the arm (1a) and having a cut-out (4a), in which the stirrup leather (5) can be connected. The sleeve (4) at its end facing the remote end of the arm (1a) has a projection (4b).

Abstract: A closure for a closing strip includes a tooth strap (32) and a closure (1) with a guide for the tooth strap (32). In order to make it easy to separate the lock between the tooth strap and closure, the closure (1) has a meshing part (6,7) with a tooth and an unlocking part (16, 17), by means of which the tooth can be brought out of the meshed stage (FIG. 6).
