Abstract
Description
Technology Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a pet leash, and more specifically, to a pet leash formed to a predetermined length and equipped with a connecting part at each end for securing to the neck or body of a pet and a handle for the owner to hold, wherein a plurality of auxiliary handles are provided along the length of the connecting leash so that the length of the leash can be adjusted appropriately according to the place and situation when going out, allowing for comfortable holding. Background Technology
[0003] Generally, pet leashes are used as a means of restraint when an owner wants to walk or exercise outdoors with their pet; one end is fastened to the pet's neck or body while the owner holds the other end in their hand, making it easier to control the pet's range of movement and preventing it from escaping, thereby ensuring the pet does not cause accidental harm to others.
[0004] This pet leash is provided with a connecting part at one end of a connecting line formed to a predetermined length for securing to the neck or body of the pet, and a handle is connected to the other end of the connecting line so that the owner can hold it comfortably.
[0005] However, when guardians take their pets for walks outdoors, they must carry not only personal belongings such as smartphones and wallets but also various items for the pet, such as poop bags and treats, which causes inconvenience and hassle.
[0006] In addition, while it is not necessary to adjust the length of pet leashes in low-population areas such as parks, there is an obligation to keep the leash short to protect others in high-population areas such as narrow elevators or streets.
[0007] Consequently, conventional pet leashes have had problems with length adjustment, such as the leash slipping out of the hand due to slipping or the leash becoming too thick when wrapped around the hand multiple times, causing the animal to lose its grip.
[0008] In addition, a leash equipped with a separate length adjustment mechanism could be used, but this had drawbacks such as the inability to adjust the length in the event of a malfunction, making it difficult to use. Prior art literature

[0032] Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a pet leash according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.
[0034] FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating one embodiment of a pet leash according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a drawing illustrating an example of use in which an extension cord is connected to a pet leash according to the present invention, FIG. 4 is a drawing illustrating an example of use in which an elastic cord is connected to a pet leash according to the present invention, FIG. 5 is a partially enlarged view illustrating another embodiment of a pet leash according to the present invention, FIG. 6 is a drawing illustrating yet another embodiment of a pet leash according to the present invention, and FIG. 7 to 9 are drawings illustrating examples of use of a pet leash according to the present invention.
[0036] The present invention relates to a pet leash (100) formed to a predetermined length and equipped with a connecting part at each end for attaching to the neck or body of a pet and a handle that a guardian can hold, and equipped with a plurality of auxiliary handles in the longitudinal direction so that the length of the leash can be adjusted appropriately according to the place and situation when going out, and the configuration is as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, wherein a connecting leash (110) formed to a predetermined length and equipped with a connecting part (112) at each end for attaching to the neck or body of a pet and a handle (114) that a guardian can hold is equipped with a plurality of auxiliary handles (120) in the longitudinal direction so that the pet's range of movement can be controlled so that both the pet and others are safe by holding the auxiliary handle (120) at an appropriate position according to the place and situation.
[0037] To explain in more detail, the connecting line (110) has slits (116) formed at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction with a length in the width direction.
[0038] At this time, an auxiliary line (130) that sequentially penetrates the slit (116) is coupled to the connecting line (110), thereby forming the auxiliary handle (120) at each interval where the slit (116) is formed.
[0039] That is, one end of the auxiliary cord (130) is connected to the connecting cord (110), and the other end is fixedly installed by sequentially passing through the slits (116) in a zigzag pattern and then connecting to the connecting cord (110). The auxiliary cord (130) located between the slits (116) is spaced apart from the connecting cord (110) to form an arc shape, thereby forming an auxiliary handle (120).
[0040] Here, it is preferable that the front and rear ends penetrating the slit (116) of the auxiliary line (130) are fixed to the connecting line (110) so that the auxiliary handle (120) is formed in a certain shape.
[0041] Therefore, both ends of the auxiliary line (130) and the front and rear ends penetrating the slit (116) are fixedly connected to the connecting line (110) by sewing or rivets, etc.
[0042] Therefore, when going out with a pet, the pet leash (100) of the present invention is attached to a collar or harness and used so that in confined places such as elevators or places with high foot traffic, the guardian can hold the auxiliary handle (120) closest to the pet to protect the pet from others, and in normal times, the guardian can hold both the handle (120) and the auxiliary handle (120) together, thereby effectively controlling the pet's movement.
[0044] Meanwhile, the connecting cord (110) is provided with a first buckle part (115) for forming the handle (114), and the first buckle part (115) is composed of a first male buckle (115a) which is provided at a certain position on the connecting cord (110) and coupled to adjust the position on the connecting cord (110), and a first female buckle (115b) which is provided at the end of the connecting cord (110).
[0045] Of course, the installation positions of the first female buckle (115b) and the first male buckle (115a) can be swapped with each other.
[0046] Therefore, the handle (114) is formed by connecting the first buckle part (115), that is, the first female buckle (115b) and the first male buckle (115a), to each other.
[0047] At this time, an extension cord (140) can be connected to the first buckle part (115) while the first buckle part (115) is not connected to each other, and the extension cord (140) can be wrapped around the body, such as the guardian's waist or shoulder, to secure it in place of a handle.
[0048] The extension cord (140) is provided with a second buckle part (142) that is connected to the first buckle part (115).
[0049] The second buckle portion (142) is composed of a second female buckle (142a) which is provided at a certain position on the extension cord (140) and coupled to adjust the length of the extension cord (140), and a second male buckle (142b) which is provided at the end of the extension cord (140).
[0050] Therefore, the first buckle part (115) and the second buckle part (140) are connected, that is, the first female buckle (115b) and the second male buckle (142b) are connected, and the first male buckle (115a) and the second female buckle (142a) are connected, thereby completing the installation of the extension cord (140).
[0051] By installing the extension cord (140) on the connecting cord (110) in this way, it can be worn around the body, such as the guardian's waist or shoulder, and the length of the extension cord (140) can be adjusted to fit the guardian's body.
[0052] With the above configuration, the guardian does not need to hold the handle, so the guardian's hands can be used freely, and if necessary, the guardian can hold the auxiliary handle (120) to control the movement of the pet.
[0053] In addition, the extension cord (140) may be further provided with a length adjustment part (144) and a length adjustment hook (146).
[0054] At this time, the length adjustment part (144) is installed such that another fabric overlaps the extension cord (140), but only the two ends corresponding to the length direction of the extension cord (140) are sewn, thereby forming an open hole in the width direction of the extension cord (140), and multiple such parts can be installed adjacent to each other in the length direction of the extension cord (140).
[0055] With the above configuration, by attaching a length adjustment hook (146) to one of the holes of the length adjustment part (144), the length of the extension cord (140) can be adjusted to fit the body size of the guardian.
[0057] Meanwhile, the above connecting cord (110) is provided with a hook coupling part (118) on one side, and a hook (152) that can be fastened to the hook coupling part (118) is provided so that an elastic cord (150) can be connected to shorten the length of the connecting cord (110).
[0058] At this time, the hook connecting part (118) is installed such that another fabric overlaps the connecting line (110), but only the two ends corresponding to the length direction of the connecting line (110) are sewn, thereby forming an open hole in the width direction of the connecting line (110), and a pair is installed at a certain position on the connecting line (110) with a gap between them.
[0059] And, the elastic cord (150) is made of an elastic material such as rubber or silicone and is elastic, and is equipped with hooks (152) at both ends, and is formed with a length shorter than the distance between the pair of hook connecting parts (118).
[0060] Therefore, when the above connecting string (110) and the elastic string (150) are connected using the hook coupling part (118) and the hook (152), the connecting string (110) at the part where the elastic string (150) is connected is compressed, and the overall length is shortened.
[0061] With the above configuration, when the connecting string (110) is pulled by the sudden movement of the pet, the connecting string (110), which is in a contracted state by the elastic string (150), unfolds to its original length, thereby having the effect of mitigating the impact applied to the guardian by the sudden movement of the pet.
[0062] In addition, as the connecting cord (110) is compressed into a curved shape by the above configuration, the connecting cord (110) deformed into a curved shape acts as the lowest handle, making it easy to handle situations where the leash needs to be held closest.
[0064] Meanwhile, according to another embodiment of the pet leash (100') according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5, the connecting cord (110') is provided such that an auxiliary cord (130') overlaps on one side, and the connecting cord (110') and the auxiliary cord (130') are formed to cross each other to form an arc, thereby forming an auxiliary handle (120').
[0065] At this time, the remaining components of the connecting cord (110') and the configuration capable of connecting the first and hook connecting parts (115, 118), the extension cord (140), and the elastic cord (150) are the same as those of the previously described embodiment, so a detailed description and illustration thereof will be omitted.
[0066] However, the above connecting line (110') and auxiliary line (130') are each formed by repeatedly intersecting a straight section and an arc-shaped auxiliary handle (120'), and when the connecting line (110') and auxiliary line (130') are overlapped, the straight section of the connecting line (110') and the auxiliary handle (120') of the auxiliary line (130') correspond to each other, and the auxiliary handle (120') of the connecting line (110') and the straight section of the auxiliary line (130') correspond to each other.
[0067] Therefore, the auxiliary handle (120') of the above connecting line (110') and auxiliary line (130') is provided to form a waveform.
[0068] Of course, the usage example and effect of this auxiliary handle (120') are the same as the previously described embodiment.
[0070] Meanwhile, according to another embodiment of the pet leash (100) according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 6, an auxiliary leash (130) can be installed on one side of the connecting leash (110) to form a plurality of arcs to form an auxiliary handle (120).
[0071] At this time, the remaining components of the connecting cord (110) and the configuration capable of combining the first and hook connecting parts (115, 118), the extension cord (140), and the elastic cord (150) are the same as those of the previously described embodiment, so a detailed description and illustration thereof will be omitted.
[0072] However, the above auxiliary line (130) is fixedly connected to the connecting line (110) at regular intervals by sewing or rivets, etc., so as to repeatedly form an auxiliary handle (120) in an arc shape.
[0073] The usage example and effect of this auxiliary handle (120) are, of course, the same as the previously described embodiment.
[0075] FIGS. 7 to 9 illustrate a pet leash (100) according to the present invention and show an example of use, but it is obvious that the pet leash (100, 100') of the above-described embodiment can be used in the same way.
[0076] To explain in detail, as shown in FIG. 7, depending on the situation, by holding the auxiliary handle (120), the pet can be brought closer to the guardian compared to holding the handle (140).
[0077] In addition, as shown in FIG. 8, an extension cord (140) is additionally connected to the connecting cord (110) and secured by wrapping the extension cord (140) around the guardian's shoulder, allowing the hands to be used freely and the auxiliary handle (120) to be grasped.
[0078] Also, as shown in Fig. 9, when resting while out, an auxiliary handle (120) can be attached to the structure (1) to control the range of movement of the pet.
[0081] Accordingly, the pet leash (100, 100', 100") according to the present invention as described above has various advantages, such as the ability to comfortably hold the leash by adjusting the length of the leash appropriately according to the location and situation when going out, by connecting an extension cord to the handle and securing it around the owner's body, and by connecting an elastic cord to shorten the length of the leash and allowing the shortened length of the leash to be extended again by the elastic cord, thereby mitigating the impact applied to the owner by the sudden movements of the pet.
[0083] The aforementioned embodiments describe the most preferred examples of the present invention, but are not limited to these embodiments, and it is obvious to those skilled in the art that various modifications are possible within the scope of the technical spirit of the present invention. Industrial applicability
[0085] The present invention relates to a pet leash, and more specifically, to a pet leash formed to a predetermined length and equipped with a connecting part at each end for securing to the neck or body of a pet and a handle for the owner to hold, wherein a plurality of auxiliary handles are provided along the length of the connecting leash so that the length of the leash can be adjusted appropriately according to the place and situation when going out, allowing for comfortable holding.
