Retractable leash assembly with a quick connect coupling assembly

A quick release coupling assembly structured to allow quick connection and quick release, said coupling assembly comprising:

• a first component and a second component cooperatively structured to assume an attached orientation when disposed in a predetermined aligned engagement with one another,
• said first component comprising at least one locking member movably mounted thereon,
• said at least one locking member normally disposed in an outwardly extending locking orientation,
• a release structure interconnected to said first component and structured such that said first component and said second component are detached from one another upon disposition of said release structure into a disconnect position, and
• an electromotive propulsion mechanism structured to at least temporarily impart a separation force between said first component and said second component.

A retractable leash assembly structured to allow quick connection and release of a plurality of animals therefrom, said assembly comprising:

• a plurality of leads each comprising a proximal end and an oppositely disposed distal end,
• a plurality of coupling assemblies each comprising a first component, each said first component interconnected to a different one of said plurality of leads at said distal end thereof,
• each of said plurality of coupling assemblies further comprising a second component interconnected to a different one of a plurality of attachment assemblies, each of said plurality of attachment assemblies structured to engage a different one of the plurality of animals,
• a housing comprising an activation assembly, said housing structured to allow at least a portion of each of said leads to pass therethrough,
• said activation assembly further comprising a drive mechanism,
• said proximal end of each of said plurality of leads interconnected to at least a portion of said drive mechanism,
• said drive mechanism structured to release said portion of each of said leads from said housing, and
• said drive mechanism further structured to retract said portion of each of said leads into said housing.
