Magnetic connector for selectively joining a leash to an animal collar

A magnetic connector for selectively and reversibly joining a leash to an animal collar comprising a male insertion element and a cap, said cap comprising a substantially cylindrical armature element and a reversibly connected substantially cylindrical female receptacle element,

• said cylindrical armature element comprising a circular top with an outer side and an inner side, a curved wall having an outer surface and a threaded inner surface, an armature magnet affixed to substantially the center of said inner side of said circular top, a bottom circular opening, an interior space extending substantially from said inner side of said circular top to said bottom circular opening and a leash hooking loop affixed to said outer side of said circular top;
• said cylindrical female receptacle element comprising a diameter slightly less than the diameter of said interior space of said cylindrical armature element, a curved wall with an outer threaded surface for communication with said threaded inner surface of said cylindrical armature element to provide said cap, a circular top-opening, a circular bottom side comprising one substantially centrally positioned outer aperture in the shape of a regular polygon star with five star points for receiving said male insertion element, and an interior hollow cavity comprising five, substantially rectangular housing chambers equally spaced around the center of said interior cavity all said rectangular housing chambers having a back wall, one magnet-containing lateral wall comprising an affixed magnet, an opposite non-lateral wall, and a floor comprising a resting platform adjacent to a substantially triangular opening, with each of the said five triangular openings being aligned with one of the said star points of said outer aperture of said female receptacle element;
• and
• said male insertion element comprising a substantially solid star polygon comprising a top side having an affixed magnet of opposite polarity to said armature magnet, said affixed magnet being affixed substantially to the center of said top side, five triangular projections capable of readily being inserted through said outer aperture of said female receptacle and into said triangular openings of said rectangular housing chambers, all five substantially triangular projections substantially equally spaced around the center of said male insertion element wherein all said triangular projections have a point, a magnet-bearing lateral side comprising an affixed magnet, a non-magnet bearing lateral side, and a bottom side with a base member protruding from substantially the center of said bottom side, said base member including an internal threaded socket for adjoining said male insertion element to an animal collar.
