Abstract
A collar ball system has a plurality of rigid heavy metallic spherical balls coupled by a weld. A link has an inner end embedded in the weld and an outer end adapted to be clipped to one end of a leash. Free inner ends of a generally U-shaped handle are in contact with the balls. A plastic coating is secured over the balls, link and handle and tends, with the weld, to hold the balls, link and handle together and protect the balls, link and handle from the elements and abuse from a pet being tethered.
Claims4
A collar ball system for tethering a pet in a safe and convenient manner comprising, in combination:
- a pair of rigid heavy metallic spherical balls, each with a common diameter and adapted to function as a weight for tethering purposes;
- a weld coupling the balls at a close distance from each other;
- a generally oval shaped link having an inner end embedded in the weld between the two balls and secured thereto and having an outer end, the link having an intermediate extent;
- a generally U-shaped handle having free inner ends in contact with the balls at parallel radii rotationally offset at about 45 degrees from the link with a linear component having a length slightly greater than the diameter of one ball;
- a plastic coating secured over the balls, link and handle tending with the weld to hold the balls, link and handle together and to protect the balls, link and handle from the elements and abuse from the pet being tethered;
- and
- a leash with a first end and a second end, the first end having a clip for removably coupling to the outer end of the link, the second end adapted to removably coupled to a pet to be tethered.
