Abstract: The invention relates to a riding cushion for placement on a mount comprising two lateral parts made from a flexible material, such as a textile web. The two lateral parts are preferably connected to each other along a central line. In order to release the spinal cord, particularly the withers of the mount, a concave formed part is fastened, preferably comprising plastic and/or metal in or at the cushion in the area of and along the central line thereof. This formed part is bent and/or curved upwards towards the frontal end of the cushion in order to follow the withers of the mount.

Abstract: A protective tendon boot for protecting horse legs includes an essentially rectangular padding, where the padding includes two longitudinal edges which run in the longitudinal direction of the leg when fastened on the horse leg. A zipper includes having two zipper halves), each of the zipper halves is located being situated in the area of one of the longitudinal edges of the padding, and an overlapping section which covers the entire zipper when the protective tendon boot is fastened on the leg.

Abstract: A saddle pad that exhibits pockets on its top side facing toward a saddle to be laid on, arranged along and to the left and right of a line of symmetry of the saddle pad. The pockets extend over the entire length of the saddle pad. Inserted into the pockets is a plate-shaped spring device, by which optimal stabilization and pressure distribution are achieved, even when treeless saddles are provided for the riding of a riding animal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a saddle pad that exhibits pockets (16) on its top side facing toward a saddle to be laid on, arranged along and to the left and right of a line of symmetry (A) of the saddle pad. The pockets (16) extend over the entire length of the saddle pad (10). Inserted into the pockets (16) is a plate-shaped spring device (20), by which optimal stabilization and pressure distribution are achieved, even when treeless saddles are provided for the riding of a riding animal.

Abstract: A saddle pad for laying on the back of a riding animal comprises a first side panel, a second side panel and a web from which the first and second side panels hang. The web includes a lengthwise groove configured and arranged to overly the spine of the riding animal, so that the panels resting on the flanks of the riding animal have a greater thickness than the web connecting the first and second panels to one another over the spine, where undersides of the first and second panels that contact the riding animal are made of lambskin.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to configure a saddle backing (1) for a riding animal that is as anatomically compatible as possible. To achieve this, two lateral sections (3), e.g. consisting of lambskin (7) are interconnected by means of a web element (4), in which a recess (6) in the shape of a longitudinal groove is fashioned, said recess extending along the vertebral column (5) of the riding animal, in such a way that no pressure is exerted on said vertebral column (5). The weight of a rider is thus distributed over a large surface area on the lateral sections (3) lying on the flanks of the riding animal.

Abstract: A device for recirculating exhaust gas during the operation of multi-cylinder internal combustion engines. The cylinders of the internal combustion engine are divided into two groups. The waste gas of one group, preferably of one cylinder, can be supplied to the suction line of the internal combustion engine via an exhaust gas recirculation line. The exhaust gas recirculation line is controlled by a controllable valve in said recirculation line. A non-return valve which is preferably configured as a non-return flap in the exhaust gas collector line of the internal combustion engine automatically closes or opens a passage between two regions of the exhaust gas collector line according to the position of the valve device in the exhaust gas recirculation line. The non-return valve can be easily integrated into the exhaust gas collector line without the need for a specific control, even when there is very little room available.

Abstract: A device for storing photographic film negative cassettes comprises a receiving container for receiving at least one negative cassette, and a case designed both for the insertion of a photographic album and also for receiving the receiving container. On one side the case has a first opening for insertion of the photographic album and on the opposite side it has a second opening for receiving the receiving container, so that the receiving container is accessible through the second opening for receiving or removing negative cassettes. The second opening can be closed by a pivotable cover.
