  • Publication number: 20140083371
    Abstract: A pet leash comprised of a rope made of nylon, or any other suitable material. The rope is comprised on one end with a handle and on an opposing end with an o-ring. Between the handle and o-ring, a foam piece is provided which provides a cushion against the rope of the leash and the pet or animal. Between the handle and foam piece a sliding hook is located which allows the leash to connect to a pet's traditional collar, when the leash is worn by the animal. The hook slides on the rope of the leash and is easily moved along the rope to fit a variety of animals of varying shapes and sizes. When the pet or animal pulls on the leash, the sliding hook allows the leash rope to retract around the belly and also pulls the head back humanely stopping the animal.

  • Patent number: 8151735
    Abstract: A leash is disclosed for coupling a first animal and a second animal to an object. The leash comprises an exterior bulbous body and an interior bulbous body. A first tether spool and a second tether spool rotatably engage within the interior bulbous body. A first tether coils about the first tether spool and a second tether coils about the second tether spool. The interior bulbous body is positioned within the exterior bulbous body. A sleeve is interposed between the interior bulbous body and the exterior bulbous body for rotatably engaging the interior bulbous body relative to the exterior bulbous body. A first conduit and a second conduit traverse the interior bulbous body and the exterior bulbous body for receiving the first tether and second tether respectively and coupling with the animals. A rotation of the interior bulbous body occurs upon a traversing of the first tether relative to the second tether and prevents the first tether entangling with the second tether.
