Abstract: An extendible wrist mechanism comprises a base and a spaced end plate to which an end effector or other tool holder may be mounted. Three linear actuators are disposed about the central axis directed from the base to the end plate. Each actuator is joined to the base by a joint permitting pivoting toward and away from the central axis and pivoting tangentially of a circle centered about the central axis. Each linear actuator is mounted to the end plate by a joint permitting pitch, yaw, and roll of the end member with respect to the linear actuator. A tube extends from the base and telescopingly receives a member which is attached to the end plate at the central axis by a U-joint permitting pitch and yaw of the end plate. The base mounted tube is keyed to the end plate mounted member so that the end plate is held against rotation with respect to the base.

Abstract: A dog leash lead which may be converted into a weapon commonly known as nanchuka sticks. A flexible interconnecting connector attached to a handle member protrudes through a hollow second member to retain an animal. The handle member and second member attach to form an elongated lead and detach to form two members connected by the flexible connector through the second member to comprise the nanchuka stick. A spring operated locking mechanism rigidly locks the handle and second member together. An alternative dog leash consisting of a rigid member, a flexible leash and a gripping handle. A rigid lead is secured to the hand of a dog handler by a strap and secure gripping is provided by a contoured grip on the proximal end of the lead. The proximal end of the lead is held in the hand of the handler. A portion of the proximal end of the flexible leash is attached to the distal end of the lead.
