Abstract
A harness apparatus that facilitates proximity control over two or more animals by the animal handler via a single leash. The single leash couples to the harness via a first swiveling connection. Two or more animals may then be attached to the harness via two or more swiveling connections. The swiveling action of each swiveling connection virtually eliminates the possibility of animal entanglement within the harness by allowing the harness to swivel in a direction that tracks the movement of the harnessed animals. The rigidity of a cross member of the harness maintains a minimum separation distance between each animal that is attached to the harness.
Claims20
An animal harness, comprising:
- a cross member having a length;
- a plurality of pet couplers attached to the cross member in a first orientation along the length of the cross member;
- a pet handler coupler attached to the cross member in a second orientation at a midpoint of the length of the cross member;
- a swiveled connection coupled to the pet handler coupler to allow rotation of the cross member about a hub established by the swiveled connection;
- a swiveling clip mechanism attached to the plurality of pet couplers;
- and
- wherein the first and second orientations are diametrically opposed to each other.
A multiple animal harness assembly, comprising:
- a rigid cross member;
- a plurality of pet couplers attached to the rigid cross member;
- a plurality of swiveling clip mechanisms attached to each of the plurality of pet couplers;
- a pet handler coupler attached to a midpoint of the rigid cross member
- a leash having a first end coupled to the pet handler coupler;
- and
- wherein the rigid cross member is adapted to rotate about a hub established at the first end of the leash.
