A restraint system for simultaneously maintaining a plurality of animate objects in an untangled position while the user is hands free is provided. The present invention embodies a 360-degree waist harness that operatively associates with a plurality of retractable bungee assemblies, each bungee assembly adapted to removably attach to a comprehensive vest or harness or a child or a pet, respectively. The bungee assemblies are selectively releasable from the 360-degree belt or the comprehensive vest or harness.

The present disclosure provides an alert method and device in a pet pulling piece, which comprises: when the tension data value of the pet pulling leash is at a security level, enabling a security level alert mode including indicator light alert in which the indicator light emits in green; when the tension data value of the pet pulling leash is at an alarm level, enabling an alarm alert mode including a combination of indicator light, vibration, and sound in which the indicator light emits in yellow, the sound is soft, and the vibration is moderate; and when the tension data value of the pet pulling leash is at a danger level, enabling a danger alert mode including a combination of indicator light, vibration, and sound in which the indicator light emits in red, the sound is urgent, and the vibration is intense, while sending an ultrasound alarm to the pet.

A quick-release extension for a pet leash includes a central portion, and a wrist loop extending from one end of the central portion. A strap is secured to another end of the central portion. The central portion includes a quick release mechanism moveable between an engaged position and a release position. In the engaged position, the quick release mechanism engages a portion of the strap, and a leash loop is formed by a length of the strap between a first end of the strap and the engaged portion of the strap. In the release position, the quick release mechanism is disengaged from the strap. The quick release mechanism may be biased towards the closed position. The quick release mechanism may be configured to be disengaged from the strap in response to the release grip being moved towards the wrist loop.

A leash-with-variable-anchor may have two opposing fastener structures, one for removable attachment to a collar or to a harness; and another for fastening back onto a portion of leash-with-variable-anchor, forming a closed looped structure, an anchor. The anchor may function as a handle. The anchor may also be quickly, easily, and safely attached to various articles, such as, but not limited to, posts; and without a need of detaching from the collar or from the harness. In some embodiments, the loop structure of the anchor may be variable (i.e., adjustable) in size. In some embodiments, at least portions of loop structure of the anchor may elastic.

Systems and methods are provided for integrated article dispensers for leashes which provide greater handling and responsiveness. One embodiment is an apparatus is in the form of an article dispenser that includes a first end for coupling with a first tensile member, a second end for coupling with the second tensile member, and a rigid housing between the first end and the second end. The rigid housing defines an internal volume for storing articles, and that further defines an opening. In response to the article dispenser bearing a threshold amount of tension, a centroid of the article dispenser aligns within a threshold distance of being collinear with a force that generates the tension. While the centroid of the article dispenser is within the threshold distance of being collinear, rotation of the system about an axis of the forcer applies less than a threshold torque to the tensile members.

The present disclosure provides a multi-layer system including at least two or more parallel layers of thin material unconnected within a layer but joined together by at least two opposing edges that are in series with an anticipated vector of mechanical force. Each layer includes two or more materials of different elasticities that are arranged in series with respect to the two fixed ends of the material. Each layer can possess a unique spatial arrangement of the different elastic segments. The relative movement of the material layers provides patterns within one or more of the layers that reveal colors, spaces, or patterns in the underlying layers depending on the amount of tension across the material. This allows for the dynamic change in outward appearance of the material with the increase and decrease of force.

A pet leash. The pet leash includes an elongated strap defining a first end disposed oppositely a second end. The first end defines a fixed loop. The fixed loop is designed to be held by a user. A ring is defined on the second end of the elongated strap. The ring is slidably mounted around the elongated strap, between the first end and the second end thereof. This defines an adjustable loop. An attachment strap with an attachment end and an opposing leash end, is slidably disposed upon the adjustable loop defined by the elongated strap. The attachment strap includes a fastener disposed on the attachment end thereof.

Briefly the invention provides a leash having a customizable opening, the diameter of which is customizable by a user to accommodate various hands-free configurations. The invention also provides a leash and leash attachment configured for use on a shoulder-sling or for attachment on various other attachment points.

The present invention generally relates to leashes for controlling or leading an animal, and more particularly to an animal training leash configured to prevent entanglement of the leash. In brief, a first cord is connected to a first element of a rotatable component while a second cord is connected to a second element of a rotatable component. Each element of the rotatable component operates independently of the other element.

A multi-lead leash system has a housing that is configured to removably capture ends of a plurality of animal leads within the housing with the leads extending outwardly from the housing. The opposite ends of the leads each have coupling to attach the lead to an animal collar. The housing and captured ends are configured such the capture ends are freely movable within the housing to prevent tangling of the respective leads while walking animals attached to the leads, for example. The housing also has a user lead coupling for the removable coupling of a user lead to the housing, the user lead being grasped by a user using the leash system.
