    Abstract: A braking device for a rope pulley of a leash that can be wound and unwound mechanically for leading animals, in which the rope can be unwound against the force of a spring from the rope pulley and can be wound onto the rope pulley due to the force of the spring. The braking device includes a brake button, which can be brought from a rest position, in which the rope pulley can rotate freely, into an active position, in which the brake button blocks unwinding of the rope from the rope pulley.

  • Publication number: 20080011895
    Abstract: A leash assembly for an animal leash that can be wound up and unwound is provided. The leash assembly features a housing (11) and a roll (12) that is rotatably supported in the housing, and the leash (13) can be unwound from this roll against the force of a spring and wound up on the roll with the aid of this spring force. The roll cooperates with a gear mechanism that drives a plate cam. The plate cam releases a pawl that can be engaged with the roll and stops the rotation of the roll in the unwinding direction once a predetermined length of the leash is unwound.

  • Patent number: 6148773
    Abstract: A retractable animal leash assembly including a housing suitable for being held in one hand is disclosed, with a freely moveable, but, if desired, lockable leash being arranged partially coiled within the housing, this housing mounting a brake key operable by the holding hand for momentarily blocking the portion of the leash located outside the holding at a desired length with a brake lock mechanism for holding the brake key in the locking position. This brake lock mechanism comprises a two-armed lever arranged to be moved between two positions on the housing reachable by the same finger/thumb of the holding hand, the handling of this pivoted lever occurring in an ergonomically optimal manner.

  • Patent number: 5483926
    Abstract: The invention relates to a retractable animal leash assembly including a housing suitable for being held in one hand, an unwindable leash arranged partially coiled within the housing, a brake which is operable by the holding hand for momentarily blocking the portion of the leash located outside the housing at a desired length and a brake lock mechanism for holding the brake in the blocking position. The brake lock mechanism is activated with operating levers arranged in two positions on the housing reachable by the holding hand. Thus the housing can be held in either the left or the right hand without degradation of function and the prolonged switch may be easily and quickly operated by the holding hand or its fingers.
