LAISSE ETONNANTE

WONDER LEASH

Abrégé anglais

Ordinary dog leashes are known to have the hand loop permanently attached to
the main
body of a leash, thus creating the unmovable noose effect.
Innumerable times tried and tested, the concept is safe and secure, yet
unpractical and
troublesome on many occasions.
In this invention the hand-loop can be disengaged and reengaged into four
different
positions, using the chainsnap and steel ring combination.
This enables a handler of the leash to adjust the length of the leash, and
eliminates the
need for timely, unpleasant and insecure tying of the leash around objects
using knots
when need arrives to leave one's pet unattended in public place. (storefront,
beach)

Revendications

THE EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION IN WHICH AN EXCLUSIVE PROPERTY OR
PRIVILEGE IS CLAIMED ARE DEFINED AS FOLLOWS:

Specification.
1. This invention relates to dog leashes, improving their practicality and
also adding to
general versatility and convenience.
2. It is common for dog leashes to have their hand grips secured to the main
body
permanently, compact concept allowing for secure and firm hold on the animal.
It also presses for inevitable inconvenience when a dog has to be left
unattended in public
place. The leash has to be tied around an applicable firm object and secured
with a knot.
This brings up a nuisance with tying and uniting knots and jeopardizes the
safety of an
animal and the public, should the knot become loose or overall disengaged.
3. I have found that these disadvantages may be overcome by providing a number
of steel
rings to the body of the leash, and extra chain-snap to opposite end of the
leash.

Such additions permit to snap and unsnap the hand-loop, in process allowing
for fast and
easy leash length adjustment and totally eliminating the need for knots while
securing the
animal..
The snap - unsnap solution makes it easy to secure an animal to any object
with
reasonable perimeter, the chain-snap and steel ring connection assuring
maximum
security.
4. In drawings that illustrate the embodiments of the invention, Figure 1. is
the overall
view of stretched unsnapped leash in standard size. All measurements are in
centimeters.
The actual size of the leash, steel rings, chain-snaps and leash material may
vary
according to potential buyers preferences.
Figures 2., 3., 4., 5., show the leash snapped in different positions.
Figure 6. shows detail of steel ring linking two stretches of leash material.
Figure 7. shows detail of chain-snap attachment to leash's body.
Figure 8. is a detail of decorative sleeve in open and closed position.
Figure 9. shows detail of a hand-loop locked in position #l. with decorative
sleeve
removed.
Figure 10. is a detail of a hand-loop locked in position #1. with decorative
sleeve
attached.
The leash is a combination of four sections of leash material as shown in Fig.
1.. Sections
a., b., c., d. are linked together with steel rings by means of overlapping
the leash material
by 3 cm, inserting the steel ring into the loop and securing it in place by 3
parallel rows of
stitching.(see Fig. 6.)
The outer edges of sections a. and d. (see Fig. l .) require attachment of
chain-
snaps by the same means of overlapping the leash material by 3 cm and securing
the
snaps in place with 3 parallel rows Of stitching. (see Fig. 7.)
Decorative sleeve in section d. (see Fig. 1.) is to be made separately ( see
Fig. 8.)
from material of choice and secured around section d. (see Fig. 1.) using
Velcro parts.
If attached properly it is to slide up and down section d. (see Fig. 1.)
easily, it's purpose
being covering the chain-snap once properly locked with the steel ring. (see
Fig.lO.)
Figures 9. and 10. demonstrate proper lock of chain-snap and steel ring with
decorative sleeve removed and attached.
The snapping principle is to be used with any of the positions. (see Figures
2., 3., 4., 5.)
5. The invention works on a principle of easy and convenient snapping off -
snapping on
of the handle-loop and attaching it to steel ring of choice, hence allowing
fast, versatile
handling and safe, knot free way of securing an animal to desired object.
