DEVICE FOR RUNNING A LEASHED PET

Abstract

A device comprising a cord, a pair of handles, a cord guide assembly and an attachment mechanism. The cord has an elongated cord body and a loop disposed at each end. The handle is coupled to each of the loop which is slidable along a distal part of an angular portion of the handle in response to a movement of the handle or of the loop. The cord guide assembly has a pulley mechanism comprising a pulley configured to ride on the elongated cord body to enable a sliding back and forth motion of the elongated cord body across the pulley. The attachment mechanism is configured to releasably receive a ring of the cord guide assembly and a portion of a leash. The sliding motions enable the portion of the leash to remain steady relative to the handles.

Description

Claims

1. A device for running a leashed pet comprising: a cord having an elongated cord body and a loop disposed at each end of said elongated cord body;a handle slidably coupled to each of said loop;a cord guide assembly configured to allow said elongated body run through said cord guide assembly in response to a movement of said handle or of said loop; andan attachment mechanism configured to releasably receive said cord guide assembly and a portion of a leash.

2. The device as in claim 1, wherein a handle body of said handle defines a graspable gripping portion and an angular portion extending from said graspable gripping portion.

3. The device as in claim 2, wherein said loop is slidable along a distal part of said angular portion.

4. The device as in claim 3, wherein said distal part has a cross-sectional area smaller than a cross-sectional area of rest of said angular portion.

5. The device as in claim 2, wherein said handle further comprises one or more fastening elements disposed over said handle body for removably attaching two of said handles together.

6. The device as in claim 1, wherein said attachment mechanism being further configured to releasably receive said handle.

7. The device as in claim 1, wherein said elongated cord body is adapted to resiliently elongate on application of a force.

8. The device as in claim 2, wherein said angular portion is substantially “D” shaped.

9. The device as in claim 1, wherein said attachment mechanism comprises an elongated connector body having a first part and a second part opposite to said first part, said first part and said second part being configured to be releasably attached to each other.

10. A device for running a leashed pet comprising: a cord having an elongated cord body and a loop disposed at each end of said elongated cord body;a handle coupled to each of said loop, said loop and said handle being configured to allow a sliding motion of said loop along a distal part of an angular portion of said handle in response to a movement of said handle or of said loop;a cord guide assembly configured to ride on said elongated cord body to enable a sliding back and forth motion of said elongated cord body across said cord guide assembly in response to said movement of said handle; andan attachment mechanism configured to releasably receive said cord guide assembly and a portion of a leash;wherein, said sliding motion between said handle and said loop, and said sliding back and forth motion of said elongated cord body across said pulley enable said portion of said leash to remain steady relative to said handle during said movement.

11. The device as in claim 10, wherein said angular portion is substantially “D” shaped.

12. The device as in claim 10, wherein said handle further comprises one or more fastening elements disposed over said handle body for removably attaching two of said handles together.

13. The device as in claim 10, wherein said proximal connector end being further configured to releasably receive said handle.

14. The device as in claim 10, wherein said distal part has a cross-sectional area smaller than a cross-sectional area of rest of said angular portion.

15. The device as in claim 10, wherein said angular portion extends from a graspable gripping portion of said handle.
