LEASH DEVICE

摘要

A leash assembly includes a housing structured to define a handle portion extending away from a spool portion. A spool is rotatably positioned within the spool portion of the housing. A leash is coupled to the spool. The leash is selectively extendable outwardly from the housing and retractable inwardly to the housing. The leash is selectively coupled to an animal. A knob is coupled to the spool such that the knob is positioned outside of the housing. The knob is selectively rotated by the user. The knob is respectively tightened toward the housing and loosened away from the housing. A disk is coupled between the knob and the housing. The disk frictionally engages the spool when the knob is tightened toward the housing and slips on the spool when the knob is loosened away from the housing.

1. A leash assembly comprising:
a housing structured to define a handle portion extending away from a spool portion such that said handle portion is configured to be gripped by a user; a spool rotatably positioned within said spool portion of said housing; a leash coupled to said spool such that said leash is selectively extendable outwardly from said housing and retractable inwardly to said housing, a distal end of said leash with respect to said spool being configured to be coupled to an animal such that the user maintains control over the animal; a knob coupled to said spool such that said knob is positioned outside of said housing, said knob being selectively rotated by the user wherein said knob is respectively tightened toward said housing and loosened away from said housing; and a disk coupled between said knob and said housing, said disk frictionally engaging said spool when said knob is tightened toward said housing wherein a rotation applied to said spool by said leash is inhibited, said disk slipping on said spool when said knob is loosened away from said housing wherein the rotation applied to said spool by said leash is uninhibited.
