Definitions
- This invention relates to a retractable leash for animals, having a housing containing a spring-biased reel in which the remaining length of leash can be taken up and which is stoppable by means of an actuating mechanism.
- retractable leashes have the advantage that they automatically wind up excess leash on a spring-biased reel.
- the length to which the leash can extend can be set temporarily by actuating a key.
- the length to which the leash extends can be set permanently.
- the advantage of setting a permanent leash length is that the leash will be halted at the set length without a key having to be actuated.
- the disadvantage is that the leash no longer winds up automatically. If the length to which the leash is extended falls short of the length set, the leash will drag on the ground and may get dirty. Moreover, the animal or the person in charge of it can get their legs caught up in the leash, or, since a leash dragging on the ground may be difficult to detect, passers-by may trip over it.
- the extension length of the leash can be additionally limited to one particular length predetermined by the design. For example, as is described in this publication, the extension can be limited to about half the leash length.
- This limitation is dependent on the wind-up diameter of the spring-biased winding reel, which means that the accuracy of the limitation is determined by the number of layers of leash on the reel. Depending on the kind of leash cord, one layer corresponds to about one meter of unrolled leash.
- the length of leash that can be extended can vary by one to two meters.
- the device is designed in such manner that the pawl described in the publication engages when the given length of leash has been released, thus halting any further release.
- the leash must roll up by at least two layers, i.e. it must retract by about two meters, before the pawl disengages again and falls back into its initial position.
- the described device has three major disadvantages. Firstly, only one intermediate leash length can be activated, which makes handling very inconvenient; after all, it's a serious disadvantage if a leash measuring, say, 7 m in length, can only be set to a single intermediate length. Secondly, even this set length is subject to unpredictable and strong variation depending on the way the leash winds up on the reel. This is something the person in charge cannot influence. Accordingly, he or she cannot rely on the leash's always blocking after the same length of leash has been released. Particularly in town, this can lead to an incalculable risk.
- the third disadvantage is that the leash must retract (roll up) by a considerable amount in order for the locking mechanism to disengage and allow the leash to be released anew and stopped again when necessary.
- this is contrary to the intended purpose of a retractable leash, which is to allow the animal as much freedom of movement as possible, and not to have to train it to behave in a certain way before it can be taken for a walk on this kind of leash.
- the object of this invention is thus to create a retractable leash that does not have these disadvantages.
- This object is established according to the invention by means of a device for adjusting the maximum extension length of the leash as required, and by providing for the slack section of the leash to be taken up automatically by the reel when this maximum extension length is not being used.
- a further development of the invention consists in the provision of means with which further retraction of the leash is preventable once a certain retraction speed is reached.
- means can be provided with which further retraction of the leash is preventable once the leash tension falls short of a predefined value.
- FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are exploded views of a retractable leash assembly according to the invention.
- FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 show the same leash assembly with the housing opened
- FIG. 5 shows the same leash assembly with the housing closed
- FIG. 6 shows a further development of the opened leash housing, with an alternative, tension-based brake.
- the device of the invention is preferably contained in a housing ( 21 a , 21 b ) with a handle, from which housing the end of the retractable leash ( 11 ) projects, said end being provided with a toughened, chewable strap ( 30 ) and an attachment clip ( 31 ).
- the leash ( 11 ) is wound up on a reel ( 1 a,b ) inside the housing ( 21 a , 21 b ).
- a gearwheel ( 2 ) is mounted parallel to the reel ( 1 a,b ) onto which the leash ( 11 ) is wound.
- the gearwheel ( 2 ) has approximately the same diameter as the reel ( 1 , b ), with which it is releasably connected in a certain transmission ratio via another gearwheel ( 3 ). The connection is released by means of pressure on a lever ( 4 a,b ).
- the diameter of the centrifugal masses ( 8 ) also increases, such that the freely movable part of the centrifugal masses ( 8 ) finally connects with the inside stop-motion means ( 15 ) of the gearwheel ( 2 ) and thus prevents any further retraction of the leash ( 11 ). If the leash ( 11 ) is now pulled out again, the centrifugal masses ( 8 ) disconnect from the gearwheel ( 2 ), and the retractable leash assembly ( 20 ) can operate again in the normal way.
- An alternative suggestion consists in a device of the kind shown in FIG. 6, which prevents further retraction of the leash ( 11 ) when the tension in the leash falls short of a predetermined value. This is effected by having the leash ( 11 ) pass over the underside of a centrally mounted deflector lever ( 22 ) which is spring-biased in opposing direction and whose upper side engages the toothing of the reel ( 1 a,b ). If the leash ( 11 ) is pulled out again, the tension that develops in the leash opposes the spring bias of the deflector lever ( 22 ). As a result, the deflector lever disengages from the reel ( 1 a,b ), and the retractable leash assembly ( 20 ) can operate again in the normal way.
- the spring-biased stop key ( 6 ) can itself halt the reel ( 1 a,b ) and thus prevent further retraction of the leash ( 11 ), which passes over the deflector roll ( 5 ) of the stop key ( 6 ), when the tension in the leash falls short of a predetermined value. This is effected in that the stop key ( 6 ) moves away from the centre of the reel ( 1 a,b ), as a result of which a portion of the stop key ( 6 ) engages the reel ( 1 a,b ) from the inside.
- the invention provides for a device which actuates the stop key ( 6 ) and thus prevents further release of the leash ( 11 ) when the extension acceleration of the leash ( 11 ) reaches a predefined maximum. This is effected in that, at a certain rotational acceleration of the reel ( 1 a,b ) biased by means of a spring ( 9 ), the external pulling force in the leash ( 11 ), which is reoriented via over the deflector roll ( 5 ) in the stop key ( 6 ), becomes greater than the force in the restraining spring ( 12 ) of the stop key ( 6 ).
- the stop key ( 6 ) connects with the reel ( 1 a,b ) and thus prevents the leash ( 11 ) from being extended further. If the distance between the animal and the person in charge lessens, the external pulling force in the leash ( 11 ) decreases and the restraining spring ( 12 ) pulls the stop key ( 6 ) back to its initial position, thus disconnecting the stop key ( 6 ) and the reel ( 1 a,b ). The retractable leash assembly ( 20 ) can then operate again in the normal way.
- the chewable strap ( 30 ) that connects the windable section of the leash ( 11 ) with the attachment clip ( 31 ) on the animal's collar is made of a material which remains elastic until it reaches a predetermined final length.
- the amount of leash ( 11 ) that can still be released is indicated according to the invention by providing a window ( 13 ) in the housing section ( 21 a ), through which part of the gearwheel ( 2 ) is visible.
- the outer side of the gearwheel ( 2 ) is divided up into defined colored zones ( 14 ).
- the zoning can, for example, be in the form of a “red-yellow-green” sequence, with the red zone corresponding approximately to the size of the window.
- red can correspond to an extension length of 0.5 m, yellow to an extension length of 1 m, and green to the remaining leash length. It is thus easy for the person in charge to see when the leash ( 11 ) has been extended to its temporarily set maximum length, or how much further away the animal can still go before the retractable leash assembly ( 20 ) will stop it.
