Patent number: 6688931Abstract: A flexible housing member (20) for enclosing the connection of a surf leash (05) to an anchor plug (10). The turret shaped housing member (20), having a base (29) with a centered base opening (22), is rotatably mounted to a bodyboard (02). By employing an anchor plug (10) through the base opening (22), an axis point for the housing member (20) is provided for projecting the surf leash in a desired direction. As the anchor plug (10) is tightened, the guide sleeve housing (20) is held with rotational friction to the desired direction. Thin optional washers, (50) and (65), between the anchor plug (10) and the guide sleeve base (29), may be used to adjust the rotational friction holding the guide sleeve passage (32) position. The surf leash guide sleeve housing (20), comprised of a flexible material such as rubber, provides a character of resilience allowing a leash (05) to be pulled in any direction, and urged to return to the desired position as a pulling force is released.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2002Date of Patent: February 10, 2004Inventor: Robert Joseph Hart
