RETRACTABLE LEASH SYSTEM

摘要

An animal restraint system which involves variable adjustability of maximum extension. A braking device with a pivoting tip which can move from a neutral position to a locked engaged position, a disengaged position, and a semi-engaged position. The semi-engaged position allows for spool rotation in the direction of retraction, while preventing spool rotation in the direction of extension. A brake lock with multiple settings including engaged position, disengaged position, and a semi-engaged position. A spool with teeth where one or more of the teeth is different from the others in shape, size or relative position to promote brake engagement efficiency. A leash maximum settings display. A moving “leash” guide which reduces tangling during extension and retraction. An adjustable handle grip to accommodate different hand sizes. A snap-on accessory attachment system. A leash dispenser system which limits full extension to reduce system failure.

主权项

1. A retractable retention system comprising:
a) a housing; b) a cord comprising a proximal portion and a distal portion; c) a spool rotatably disposed within the housing such that the spool can rotate in either a first radial direction or a second radial direction, the spool being adapted to retain the cord, the proximal portion of the cord being coupled to the spool, the spool having a plurality of spaced apart teeth and the plurality of teeth vary in size, shape and spacing; and d) a braking system disposed within the housing and coupled to spool to prevent the spool from rotating in the second direction.
