Description
Description An Animal Collar And Leash Technical Field
This invention relates to an animal collar and leash which can be utilized as a collar and which has a leash portion which can be utilized as a leash and 5 which is recoilable.
Background Art *> The prior art, U.S. Patent No. 4,091,766, discloses a pet collar. Disclosure of Invention 0 The problem in the art to which this invention apertains is the need for a combined animal collar and leash which can be utilized as a collar and which has a leash portion that can be uncoiled from the collar .for use as a leash and which can be recoiled upon the collar when the leash portion is no longer needed to function as a leash.
Accordingly, the object of the invention is to provide a combined animal collar and leash which can be utilized as a collar and which has a leash portion that can be uncoiled from the collar for use as a leash and which can be recoiled upon the collar when the leash portion is no longer needed.
In accordance with the invention, there is provided a longitudinal strip of woven single-strip webbing made of nylon, polypropylene or other suitable plastic single- strip webbing material. The longitudinal strip has Velcro fastening means. One end of the webbing is inserted through a tethering D-ring carried at the other end of thereby define a collar. The remaining longitudinal webbing strip defines a leash portion coilable upon the 'collar for storage and uncoilable from the collar by disconnecting the Velcro fastening means.
In the other embodiment of the invention, the collar is formed into double thickness strip webbing and is provided on one end with a buckle through which the other free end of the collar extends. One end of a longi-
tudinal strip of single-strip webbing, defining the_ leash, is joined to the collar. This leash webbing strip is releasably connected upon and to the collar for storage purposes via the Velcro fastening means and is similarly releasable from the collar for its use as a leash. Brief Description of Drawings
This object and other objects of the invention should be discerned and appreciated from the detailed description taken in conjunction with the drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several views, in which:
Fig. 1 is a view showing one end of single-strip webbing inserted through a tethering D-ring to define the collar with the remaining leash portion of the web- bing uncoiled from the collar for use as a leash;
Fig. 2 is a view showing the leash portion in Fig. 1 coiled upon the collar for storage and connected there¬ to via Velcro fastening means; and
Fig. 3 is a view showing another embodiment of the invention which employs a buckle to define the collar upon assembly and which shows a separate webbing strip defining the leash joined at one end to the collar with . the remaining webbing strip disconnected from the collar, and with Velcro fastening means to releasably secure the leash upon the collar for storage.
Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
In Fig. 1 of the drawings, reference numeral 1 generally refers to the animal collar and leash.
Animal collar and leash 1 comprises a longitudinal strip 3 of woven single-strip webbing made of nylon, polypropylene, or other suitable plastic single-strip webbing material. One end 5 of the strip webbing 3 is folded back upon itself and sewn together, or is other¬ wise suitably secured, to form an eye 7 to carry and mount a large D-ring 9 functioning as a tethering ring. The other end 11 of the strip webbing 3 is folded back upon itself and sewn together, or is otherwise suitably secured, to form a handle 13 to carry and mount
a small D-ring 15. Such small D-ring 15 on the handle 13 is inserted through the large D-ring 9 with the strip webbing 3 threaded sufficiently through the large D- ring 9 to define the collar 17 for operable disposition 5 around the animal's neck with the remaining part of the strip webbing defining the leash or leash portion 19. By simply grasping the handle 13 on the end of leash 19 and appropriately manipulating same, the collar 17 *. encircling the animal's neck will close tightly upon 0 such animal's neck and function as a choke collar to provide instant control over the animal.
When leash control over the animal is not necessary and the animal is to be allowed to run free and unres¬ trained, then the leash 19 can be coiled upon the collar 5 17 and be releasably connected therewith for storage .purposes thereon. The means for releasably connecting the leash 19 with the collar 17 is provided by a material manufactured by the American Robbins Company and marketed under the trademark VELCRO. This material is provided in two portions, a hook portion and a loop portion both of which can be purchased with an adhesive backing and/or can be attached to the surface of the collar 17 and leash 19 by being adhering thereto and by being sewn thereto. A strip of the Velcro hook portion 21 is adhe- sively attached to the side of the collar 17 facing outwardly from the neck of the animal and is sewn thereto, and a strip of the Velcro loop portion 23 is adhesively attached to the side of the leash 19 facing inwardly toward the neck of the animal and is sewn thereto. The hook portion 21 includes a plurality of hooks and the loop portion 23 includes a plurality of loops. The hooks of the hook portion 21 have characteristics for engaging the loops of the loop portion 23.
When one is walking his animal unleashed with the leash 19 coiled upon and releasably connected with the collar 17 and he wants to exercise instant control over his animal, the small D-ring 15 is simply oppositely and removably disposed through the large D-ring 9 and
then the handle 13 is appropriately grasped to uncoil and release the leash 19 from the collar 17 sufficiently such that the collar 17 encircling the animal's neck will close tightly upon the animal's neck to function 5 as a choke collar to provide thereby instant control over the animal.
In Fig. 3 of the drawings, reference numeral 25 generally refers to the other embodiment of the animal
* collar and leash invention which comprises a longitudi- 0 nal strip of woven single-strip webbing folded back upon itself to halve its length and sewn together, or otherwise suitably secured, to define the collar 27 and to form an eye 29 on one end to carry and mount a large D-ring 31 functioning as a tethering ring. Also 5 imbedded in eyes 33 and 35 formed in the collar 27 are a belt buckle 37 and a guide ring 39 mounted thereby. The other end 41 of the collar 27 is inserted through the tethering D-ring 31, through the buckle 37 with its prong 43 engaged with an appropriate one of the 0 holes 45 formed through the strip material to provide the desired collar adjustment around the animal's neck, and the end 41 of the collar 27 is suitably emplaced beneath the guide ring 39.
A longitudinal strip of woven single-strip webbing 5 47 defines the leash whose one end 49 is sewn to the collar 27 and whose other end 51 is folded back upon itself and sewn together appropriately to form a handle 53.
A strip of Velcro hook portion 55 is suitably atta- 0 ched, such as by being sewn .thereto, to the side of the collar 27 facing outwardly from the neck of the animal, and strips of Velcro loop portions 57 are suit¬ ably attached, such as by being sewn thereto, to the side of the leash 47 facing inwardly toward the neck 5 of the animal.
The leash 47 can be coiled upon the collar 27 and releasably connected therewith for storage purposes thereon by simply engaging the Velcro hook portion 55
with the Velcro loop portions 57. When one wants to utilize the leash 47 for control of the animal, he simply grasps the handle 53 appropriately and exerts sufficient pull to uncoil and release the leash 47 from the collar 27.
