20110203533 | Flat, braided, omnidirectionally reflective collar and leash - A flexible abrasion resistant omnidirectionally reflective, preferably retractable, flat belt pet leash/pet collar exhibits omnidirectional reflectivity. The omnidirectionally reflective flat belt pet leash reflects an incoming light beam back in the direction from which it emanated. The reflected light beam provides accurate illumination of the pet leash and the location of the pet during dusk or nighttime hours. This reflective pet collar and/or leash is created by forming a substantially flat reflective woven band composed of narrow width reflective strips that comprise woven or knitted reflective threads. A raised, braided, dimensional band is optionally placed atop the substantially flat reflective woven band to further increase reflectivity and visibility thereof. The flexible reflective threads are composed of microsphere retroreflectors coated with water resistant compound and, optionally, a poly-phosphorus material. The collar or leash may alternatively be formed by embedding a plurality of microscopic reflectors into the braided weave of a fabric. Upon being embedded, the microscopic reflectors act like smooth mirrors which operate collectively to provide a reflective medium. Due to the braided weave of the fabric and the presence of the raised, braided dimensional band atop the woven fabric, microscopic reflectors within the dimensional band direct light incident thereon from virtually any angle back to its source. | 08-25-2011 |
