Description

Pet Safety Leash

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present invention relates to a safety leash for pets that allows an animal tied to the leash to be quickly released. In this way, accidents due to strangulation of the pet are avoided when the involuntary and excessive separation of the animal and the owner occurs. It is applicable in the veterinary and animal safety field.

STATE OF THE ART

When walking dogs and other domestic animals, the use of leashes is known. Some are retractable and have a support on which a take-up strap is attached, with a return spring, and a locking brake. This system allows you to give the animal more freedom, but still control it if necessary.

However, this freedom can cause accidents. For example, the animal may be on the other side of an elevator doors. If the owner does not realize it, the relative movement can end up killing the animal. If you release the strap, the bracket cannot pass between the doors, so the crash remains. It is necessary to be able to fully release the webbing, rope or strap.

The Spanish utility model ES1258880U is known, which discloses a way to release the pet safely, uncoupling the belt from the collecting pulley. This solution is highly effective, but it still leaves the animal tied to the leash, so there is still the risk of an accident.

The applicant does not know of any solution to these problems similar to the invention.

BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The invention consists of a safety leash for pets according to the claims. Its different variants solve the problems indicated.

There is a secure leash for pets, with a support and a poea, and sometimes collects a ribbon, rope or leash (hereinafter "ribbon"). This belt is attached to the pulley at one end, and to an element carried by the animal at the other. The attachment to the element (collar, harness ...) is made by a carabiner, a ring ... or another fixing element. Unlike the prior art, the belt is double and has a first end attached to the take-up pulley and a second end releasably attached to the pulley support or housing. The fastener is hooked at a midpoint so that the tape can slide over the fastener.

Thus, the user can release the animal at any time, releasing the second end, fixed to the support or to the carcass, whereby the tape is picked up by the pulley and the fixing element remains loose. This allows to obtain two main advantages:

- The fastening element is not attached to the strap, so there is no risk that the animal is still hooked on an object.

- The strap is easy to reassemble, since it is enough to insert the strap through the fixing element and reattach it to the housing. In the prior art the connection was internal and to a moving part.

The connection of the second end to the housing can be by a releasable pin, a clamp with a release button. or any other quick release method.

Other particular variants are appreciated in the rest of the memory.

MODES OF EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

with nuac n, a method of carrying out the invention is now written, as an illustrative and non-limiting example of the invention.

Figure 1 shows an example of a safety belt formed by a support (1) of a pick-up pulley (not noticeable) of the belt (2), rope or belt itself, as is known in the art. The belt (2) is attached to the pulley at a first end (not visible) and to the support (1) at the other. The support (1) is generally a protective casing for the pulley that prevents pinching and other accidents.

The second end (3) of the strap (2) is fixed to the support (1) in a releasable way, with a knob (4) accessible from the outside. The knob (4) can be a button on a clamp, a pull on a stem or any quick release system.

The tape (2) therefore forms a loop, and a fastening element (5) is slidably engaged by it (Figure 2A). The fixing element (5) is a carabiner, a ring ... or any attachment compatible with a leash or a pet harness. The fixing element (5) will be as short as possible, although it may have its own small strap, as is known.

In this way, if the user needs to quickly release the animal, he releases the second end (3) by acting on the knob (4), so that the fixing element (5) can slide along the belt (2) while it it is picked up by the pulley (figure 2B). It is important that the fixing element (5) can slide along the entire length of the tape (2), including the second end (3).

Ideally, the actuation of the control (4) also affects a possible belt blocking brake (2), rendering it useless.

For example, if a dog is to one side of the elevator doors, the owner will notice that the leash (2) unrolls, so he can act on the control (4), which releases the second end (3). The pulley picks up all the belt (2), which slides through the fixing element (5), and the animal is completely loose.

Claims (1)

1- Safety belt for pets, for animals, of the type that comprises a support (1) of a pulley that collects a belt (2), rope or belt, characterized in that the belt (2) is attached to the pulley by a first end and to the support (1) by a second end (3) and carries a fixing element (5) that slides throughout the tape (2), the connection of the second end (3) to the support (1) being releasable by means of the actuation of a control (4) accessible from outside the support (1). 2- Safety leash for pets, according to claim 1, characterized in that it comprises a locking brake for the collection of the tape (2) that can be deactivated by means of the control (4). 6
