The present invention relates to rope, and specifically to a dog leash.

2. Description of Related Art Including Information Disclosed Under 37 CFR 1.97 and 37 CFR 1.98

There are more and more people keeping dogs as pets in cities. Pet dogs are cute and are loved by dog lovers. In urban areas, situations of people walking and traveling with pet dogs are frequently seen. Bad behaviors of dogs are often controlled by using traction ropes. Among many bad behaviors, dog's violent and pulling behaviors are most disturbing to the owner. The ends of the traditional dog leashes have little grasping strength, and it is easy to slip out of the owner' hands when the dog is pulled. In order to improve the grasping strength, an end of the dog leash is usually wrapped around the wrist to increase the grasping strength. However, the winding will cause inconvenience to the hand, and it is easy to cause injury to the hand when the dog pulls.

In case that people needs to leave when walking a dog, the dog leash is usually tied somewhere, which is inconvenient to operate and easy to loosen.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In the following, embodiments of the invention will be explained in details with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 7, the present invention provides a dog leash 4 comprising a dog leash body 2. The dog leash body 2 comprises a flexible steel wire rope (stainless steel wire rope), and a plastic layer is coated outside the steel wire rope. The end (traction end 2b) of the dog leash body 2 is bent to form an annulus structure 23 from a traction part 23a. The traction part is provided with a buckle 3 by butt-and-collar joint 3a. For the convenience of use, the buckle is a universal hook rotating spring buckle. The root segment 23b of the traction part is covered with a sheath 1. The sheath may be made of plastic.

Specifically, the ends of the dog leash body 2 are bent and touched with sidewalls (side walls 2a, side wall portion 2a1 and another side wall portion 2a2) of the dog leash body 2, and are pressed and fixed by a steel ring 22. Exposure of the steel ring will cause poor touch feeling and is easy to cut hands when pulling; thus, the steel ring 22 is located within the sheath, which can improve the use comfort and safety, and avoid the root segment of the traction part from scratching hands. A main leash body portion 211 is arranged at the side of the front end (front steel ring end 22a) of the steel ring 22; a second leash body portion 231 and a third leash body portion 232 that are connected with each other are arranged at the side of the rear end (rear steel ring end 22b) of the steel ring. The first or main leash body portion 211, the second leash body portion 231 and the third leash body portion 232 together form a Y-shape, and the steel ring is located at the joint of these three elements. The front end (front sheath end 1a) of the sheath is provided with a first leash opening 111 for the main leash body portion 211 to pass through; the rear end (rear sheath end 1b) is provided with a second leash opening 115 for the second leash body 231 portion to pass through and a third leash opening 114 for the third leash body portion 232 to pass through. The diameter of leash openings is same with that of the leash bodies, and the sheath is wholly touched tightly with the steel ring and the dog leash body, thus enabling a small size and good touch feeling. In an embodiment, the front end of the sheath is tapered, the cross section of the middle portion (other than the steel ring) is rectangular, and the rear end is an arc surface, preferably a hemispherical surface; and the appearance is beautiful and compact. In order to improve the compactness of the structure and avoid the shaking of the sheath, a position fixing part for prevent the steel ring 22 from slipping is provided inside the sheath.

The sheath comprises a first shell 11 and a second shell 12 that are engaged with each other. The edge (first shell edge 11a) of the first shell 11 is provided with a bulge 11b and forms a first connecting part 116, and the edge (second shell edge 12a) of the second shell 12 is provided with a groove 12b for the snap-in of the bulge and forms a second connecting part 121. Snap-fit of the first shell and the second shell forms a cladding chamber for accommodating the root segment of the traction part. The first shell is provided with a first positioning pin 113 and a second positioning pin 112, both of which face the opening direction of the first shell, i.e. facing the second shell. The first positioning pin is located between the second leash opening and the third leash opening, and the second positioning pin is eccentrically set, i.e. does not lie on the axis of the first shell, which can avoid affecting the installation of the first leash body. A steel ring accommodation cavity 1c for the steel ring to be inserted in is formed between said first positioning pin and said second positioning pin; the first positioning pin and the second positioning pin forms the position fixing part that is used to restrict the axial slip of the steel ring. The second shell is provided with a first positioning hole 123 for said first positioning pin to be inserted in and a second positioning hole 122 for said second positioning pin to be inserted in.

The dog leash of the present invention has the same structure at both terminals.

The dog leash of the present invention adopts flexible steel wire rope with good flexibility and high strength; the steel wire rope is coated with plastic layer, which has good touch feeling and high use comfort; the end of the leash is provided with an annular traction part, which is convenient to grasp and strong in strength, so as to avoid the dog from escaping when pulling; the traction part is provided with a spring buckle, which is convenient and reliable for fixing; the root segment of the traction part is provided with a sheath, thus improving the use comfort and touch feeling, and avoiding the steel ring at the root segment of the traction part from scratching hands, so that it has high safety and beautiful appearance; the position fixing part is arranged in the sheath, which is compact in structure, and can prevent the steel ring or the sheath from swaying; the sheath adopts double-shell assembly structure, which has low production cost and can be assembled conveniently and quickly. The dog leash of the present invention has a compact structure, high strength, high degree of use comfort and good safety.

Above descriptions are only some preferred embodiments of the present invention, and it should be pointed out that, as for a person skilled in the art, modifications and alternatives can be made without departing from the discipline of the present invention, and such modifications and alternative also fall within the scope of the present invention.
