Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0016] The invention is described with reference to an embodiment in three drawings. In the drawings:

[0017] FIG. 1 shows a closure section of a bandage according to the invention in a view of the inside of the bandage.

[0018] FIG. 2 shows the closure section in FIG. 1 in a view of the outside of the bandage,

[0019] FIG. 3 shows a side view of a horse bandage according to the invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL EMBODIMENTS

[0020] A horse bandage 1 comprises a winding section 2 and a closure strip 3. The winding section 2 is produced from fleece or wool. The winding section 2 can have a length of 3 m to 4 m and a width of 10 cm to 15 cm.

[0021] The closure strip 3 is produced from a resilient material. An inner end 4 of the closure strip 3 is sewn to an inner end 6 of the winding section 2. The winding section 2 has a length of 35 cm and a width of 5 cm. The closure strip 2 is formed resiliently.

[0022] According to FIG. 1 a counterpart piece of hook-and-loop fastener in the form of a hook strip 7, which has a length of 20 cm and a width of 5 cm, is sewn to the inside of the bandage at the inner end of the winding section 6. A piece extends some way into the winding section 2 and also some way on the inside of the bandage on the closure strip 3 in the direction of an outer end of the closure strip 8. The hook strip 7 interacts with a loop strip 9. The loop strip 9 is sewn to the winding section on the outside of the bandage 2. The winding section 9 has a length of 20 cm and a width of 5 cm. Centre points of the hook strip 7 and of the loop strip 9 are spaced apart from one another by approximately 30 cm in a longitudinal direction L of the winding section 2. The spacing corresponds approximately to the winding circumference of a horse's leg, wherein winding circumference means the length required for winding around the horse's leg, wherein a bandage underlay is optionally also laid directly onto the horse's leg.

[0023] The closure strip 3 is provided for additional fastening of the horse bandage 1. A further hook strip 11 on the outside of the bandage with a length of 5 cm and a width of 5 cm and a further loop strip 12 on the inside of the bandage with a length of 5 cm and a width of 5 cm are sewn to the closure strip 3, and are likewise sewn with their centre points spaced apart from one another by approximately 30 cm onto the opposing sides on the closure strip 3. The further hook strip 11 is sewn directly at the inner end of the closure strip 4, and the further loop strip 12 is sewn directly to the outer end of the closure strip 8. The closure strip 3 is preferably consistent in the longitudinal direction L, in particular visually consistent, so that with a single wrapping of the winding section 2 on the horse's leg and closing of the closure strip 3 a circumferentially uniform impression of the horse bandage 1 is produced for the observer.

[0024] The horse bandage 1 is wound conventionally, by winding it with the inside of the bandage directly onto the horse's leg or onto a bandage underlay resting directly on the horse's leg, and the horse's leg is wrapped as much as required until only the closure section of the horse bandage 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is exposed. The winding section 2 is then laid once around the horse's leg, and the loop strip 9 and the hook strip 7 are connected to one another. Then the closure strip 3 is wound precisely once around the horse's leg, and the further loop strip 12 and the further hook strip 11 are connected to one another. Thus a doubly secured and aesthetically pleasing bandaging of the horse's leg and in particular of all four of the horse's legs is produced.
