<p>A leash handle assembly having a housing (102) with a grip portion (104), a spool assembly rotatably mounted in the housing, a trigger (106) movably mounted to the grip portion, and a dual-position switch (108) mounted to the housing proximate to the grip portion. The spool assembly is adapted for winding and unwinding a leash cord (114). The movable trigger is actuated to inhibit the leash cord from extending or retracting, and released to enable the leash cord to extend out of the housing in response to an external force. The spooling assembly is spring biased to cause the leash cord to retract in the absence of trigger actuation and the presence of a preset external force. The dual-position switch (108) operates in a first position to lock the trigger in an actuated position and in a second position to enable the moveable trigger to operate freely. The dual-mode switch (108) is positioned to enable a user to actuate it with the same hand that grasps the leash handle and actuates the movable trigger (106).</p> |
