Benefits of technology

The patent describes an improved design for a pet leash that allows it to be easily attached to various items like collars or harnesses. This makes it easier to use while walking or running with your animal. The leash has multiple attachment points called fasteners which can be connected together to create a secure and comfortable fit for both humans and animals. These fasteners include snap hooks、shackles, and clamps among others, making them suitable for different needs and preferences. Additionally, some fasteners have been designed specifically for this application, allowing for easy customization. Overall, this new design provides more flexibility and comfort when attaching a leash to any device, increasing its usability and appearance options.

Problems solved by technology

This patent discusses how small electronic devices like phones and computers make life easier but can also cause difficulty when trying to quickly find them among other things in a purse. Current solutions like keychains or lanyards aren’t always practical or attractive enough for people who care about style. So, the technical problem addressed in this patent is finding a way to create a convenient and stylish tool to help women easily retrieve their lost or forgotten items from their purse.
