Abstract: An improved decorative button of a pet collar, including a decorative cap, a resilient pad member and a decorative attaching paper. The decorative cap has a projecting rectangular rivet stem and a lower arch surface around the rivet stem corresponding to a curve of the pet collar. The resilient pad member is formed with a central rectangular hole corresponding to the rivet stem of the decorative cap. The rectangular hole of the resilient pad member has four slightly upward bent side edges. Each of four corners of the rectangular hole is formed with a linear fissure and a middle portion of each long side edge of the rectangular hole is also formed with a linear fissure, whereby the rivet stem is irreversibly fitted into the rectangular hole of the resilient pad member. The resilient pad member is resiliently deformed in accordance with the curve of the decorative cap and the pet collar so as to closely associate therewith without producing any clearance or unplane projecting portion.

The microcassette's information may be changed if the owner relocates by simply recording a new identification message.

Abstract: An animal leash of a flexible material has a fastener at the distal end. A section of the leash adjacent the distal end is stiffened or reinforced to minimize the tendency of a slackened leash to become entangled beneath the animal's body. The reinforcement may be a rigid shaft or an interior or exterior wire member.

Abstract: Flexible visibility enhancing material combines the advantages of a light reflective component and a luminescent component. The material includes a first layer of prismatic light reflective plastic material having an underlying surface formed with a plurality of minute prism-like formations projecting therefrom at regular spaced intervals and an overlying substantially smooth light transmissive surface. A second layer of plastic luminescent material is contiguously and integrally attached to the underlying surface of prism-like formations and generally coextensive therewith. The visibility enhancing material simultaneously radiates luminescent light from the second layer through the underlying surface of prism-like formations and through the smooth light transmissive surface and reflected light from the prism-like formations through the smooth light transmissive surface.

Abstract: Disclosed is a leash holder assembly that is removably mountable to the collar of a pet, and including a leash holder made of flexible material and having face-to-face rectangular panels that are stitched along their bottom and side edges in such a manner to provide an open-topped pouch for storing a leash in coiled-up condition, and including a rectangular closure flap that can fold over the top of the pouch to close the pouch, Velcro fastening elements used to secure the closure flap. Velcro equipped tabs secure the holder to the pet collar and the leash is attached at one of its ends to the collar and the handle of the stored leash protrudes through an opening in the pouch. The leash is quickly deployable when required by grasping the handle and pulling it away from the pouch so that the leash uncoils from the grasp of the pouch.
