  • Patent number: 9066500
    Abstract: A retractable leash apparatus includes opposed first and second open ends and defines an interior area. A retraction assembly is operatively coupled to the handle member and defines an inner space and an aperture, the retraction assembly having a spool rotatably positioned in the inner space. A leash member having a first end is connected to the spool, the spool being selectively movable between a retracted configuration in which the leash is substantially inside the inner space and an extended configuration in which the leash member is substantially outside the inner space. The handle member includes a partition positioned in the handle member interior area so as to divide the handle member interior area into a first interior portion and a second interior portion, the first interior portion being selectively accessible through the first open end and the second interior portion being selectively accessible through the second open end.
