Abstract
Described herein are axially and radially swivelable detangling connector devices that are suitable for preventing entanglement, or detangling, of a device or means that is used to secure one or more mobile objects or subjects to one or more objects or subjects. Methods of making and using the disclosed devices are also provided herein.
Claims11
An axially and radially swivelable detangling connector device comprising:
- a detangling connector comprising
- a distal end defining at least one distal opening;
- and
- a proximal end defining at least one proximal opening;
- a common conduit connecting the at least one distal opening in the distal end with the at least one proximal opening in the proximal end
- a looped connector having at least two ends, the two ends being housed and secured within the at least one proximal opening of the proximal end of the detangling connector such that a loop is formed adjacent to the proximal end of the detangling connector;
- and
- an endcap defining a first opening for receiving and housing the distal end of the detangling connector such that the detangling connector is radially and axially swivelable within the endcap
- wherein the detangling connector is spheroidal in shape, wherein the at least one proximal opening extends from the proximal end towards the distal end, and wherein the at least one distal opening extends from the distal end towards the proximal end.
