Abstract
A pet leash includes a loop handle that is configured to fit loosely over a user's wrist or to be held in the user's hand. A sliding cinch member is disposed on the loop handle and is configured to allow a user to adjust the size of the loop between the sliding cinch member and the end of the loop handle, allowing a user to place their hand through the loop and slide the sliding cinch member to make the portion of the loop handle over the user's wrist fit snugly.
Claims20
A pet leash, comprising:
- a handle portion comprised of a fabric tube having a total handle length and an elastic member disposed inside the fabric tube having a rest length that is shorter than the total handle length, wherein the fabric tube has an end that is attached to the pet leash to form a loop having a first side, a second side, and a distal end;
- and
- a sliding cinch member having a cinch passage, the sliding cinch member disposed over the loop such that the first side and the second side of the loop pass through the cinch passage, the sliding cinch member having a first extension on a first side of the cinch passage and a second extension on a second side of the cinch passage opposite the first side of the cinch passage, wherein the cinch passage is configured to frictionally engage the first and second sides of the loop and to slide along the first and second sides of the loop when pushed such that the sliding cinch member does not move along the first and second sides of the loop unless pushed.
A pet leash assembly having an adjustable loop handle, comprising:
- a handle portion forming a loop;
- and
- a sliding cinch member having a cinch passage through the sliding cinch member, the sliding cinch member disposed over the loop such that a first side and a second side of the loop pass through the cinch passage, the sliding cinch member being configured to frictionally engage the first and second sides of the loop and being further configured to slide along the first and second sides of the loop when in frictional engagement with the loop.
A pet leash assembly, comprising:
- a leash having a leash body and a loop handle at an end of the leash body, the leash body and loop handle formed of a flattened fabric tube having a leash width;
- a sliding cinch member having a cinch passage through the sliding cinch member, the sliding cinch member being disposed over the loop handle such that the loop handle passes through the cinch passage, the cinch passage being sized to frictionally engage the loop handle and configured to slide along the loop handle to adjust a size of a loop portion of the loop handle and having a cinch passage width that is less than the leash width;
- and
- the loop handle including an elastic member disposed inside the loop handle and having an unstretched length that is less than a total length of the loop handle.
