Leash mount and releasable leash system

Abstract

A leash mount comprises a bottom wall, a side wall having an inner side wall section and an outer side wall section, and an upper wall. A leash cavity is formed between the bottom wall, the side wall, and the top wall. The leash cavity is accessible through a leash opening arranged in the outer side wall section and through a deck opening arranged in the upper wall. A retainer member extends upwardly from the bottom wall to the deck opening. The retainer member has an upper surface sloped outwardly towards the leash opening and a substantially vertical inner surface opposite the leash opening. The leash mount is used with correspondingly shaped looped end of a leash to form a releasable leash system. When engaged, the looped end of the leash wraps around the retainer member of the leash mount, securing the leash to the leash mount.
