The swivels resist twisting. The handle provides a comfortable structure that can be gripped or worn as a wrist band. Additionally, excess cord may be wrapped around the cushioned handle without causing discomfort to the user.

Abstract: A retractable leash assembly structured to facilitate quick connection of an animal to a lead which is interconnected at a proximal end to an activation assembly and to a quick connect coupling assembly at a distal end. The leash assembly includes a release structure disposed in a communicative relation with the coupling assembly structured to removably connect a collar, harness, or similar attachment assembly to the distal end of the lead. The activation assembly, upon actuation, transmits a signal to the release structure to dispose the components of the coupling assembly into a release orientation such that the components may be easily disconnected from one another. The activation assembly may also include a drive mechanism, a release control mechanism, and/or a lead aligning mechanism to improve a handler's control of an animal attached to the retractable leash assembly of the present invention.

Abstract: The illuminated retractable leash is an animal tethering device which uses electroluminescent wire and a DC to AC inverter to illuminate not only the extendable and retractable physical tether to the animal, but also to illuminate the leash housing. Electroluminescent wire wound on a rotating spool is supplied power by an inverter circuit powered by an on board battery. A transparent spool and an at least partially transparent housing provides the capability for illuminating the housing, as well as the electroluminescent wire leash.

Abstract: An animal leash system includes a leash of flexible material having near and far ends, and a belt arranged to be worn about a person's body. A connector is fastened to the belt for operation by the person while wearing the belt. A handle is formed at the near end of the leash, and the handle is engageable with the connector on the belt. The far end of the leash is fastened to an animal collar. An associated restraining strap is fixed to the leash and is arranged for securing about an anchored object such as a tree or post. Thus, the person can (I) secure the restraining strap about the object before disengaging the leash handle from the connector on the belt, and (ii) engage the leash handle with the belt connector before releasing the restraining strap from the object. The animal is therefore always safely restrained either by the person's belt or by the fixed object.

Abstract: A leash assembly designed to accomplish a quick release or detachment of an animal from its tethered position and/or a quick re-attachment into a tethered position, the assembly including a lead having a release structure which may be axially movable along the length of the lead. A distal end of the release cable is connected to a rotating coupling assembly structured to removably connect a collar, harness, or similar attachment assembly to the distal end of the lead. An activation assembly may be connected adjacent to the proximal end of the lead and which when selectively positioned serves to orient the release structure into a disconnect position relative to the coupling assembly such that the components may be easily released. A quick release coupling assembly, of the type utilized by the leash assembly, is also provided for use in numerous other connection applications.
