Abstract: A animal restraint includes a buckle connected at one end to a leash or the like and its other end to a short tether having a D-ring termination. A snap hook with a latching side is easily connected to the restraint. The buckle has two relatively rotary parts which form a bayonet-type connection. The axis of rotation of the buckle parts is perpendicular to the tension axis, so that tension does not tend to undo the buckle.

Abstract: A reversible pet collar has a buckle including a rectangular bail and a cross-bar extending between the midpoints of the top and bottom sides of the bail. A tongue having a looped end passes around the cross-bar, and the tip of the tongue seats alternatively in depressions formed one either lateral side of the bail. Thus the buckle is reversible, and a strap attached to the cross-bar and having distinctive opposite sides can be reversed to achieve alternative collar appearances simply by flipping the strap 180° about the cross-bar.
