20130061819 | ANIMAL RESTRAINING DEVICE - An animal restraining device can have an adjustable length to facilitate wedging the device securely between two walls or other structures to restrain an animal. The animal restraining device can include a first mechanism to adjust the length of the device and a second mechanism to further adjust the length of the device. In some embodiments, the first mechanism can perform large adjustments and the second mechanism can perform small adjustments. | 03-14-2013 |
20150013620 | Anchor system - An anchor in including a cylindrical member having a helical thread which can be advanced into an anchoring material and a tether restraint element having a configuration adapted to guide movement of a tether end movably coupled to said tether restraint toward a position on said tether restraint which directs forces transmitted to the tether restraint element from said tether end in a direction capable of rotationally advancing the elongate cylindrical member into the anchoring material. | 01-15-2015 |
20150327509 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TEMPORARILY RESTRAINING AN ANIMAL - A portable method of restraining an animal that frees both hands of a user. System includes a rigid anchor and a carrier that can be rigid or flexible. The anchor is coupled with a lead or leash, and the carrier is separately coupled with the same lead or leash. The carrier has a socket that is substantially the same shape as the cross section of the anchor, and the anchor can be disposed through the socket, allowing the anchor to be carried by the leash and carrier. When the user needs both hands, the user can remove the anchor from the carrier and insert the anchor into the ground. Since the anchor is coupled with the leash, this will prevent the animal from leaving the area. When ready to continue, the user removes the anchor from the ground and returns it to the carrier. | 11-19-2015 |

20090145371 | PORTABLE ANIMAL RESTRAINT AND FEEDING STATION - A portable and inexpensive device for restraining a dog, cat or other animal within a defined area. The device has a main body providing an endless circular groove that confines a wire or ring to rotating movement about the main body. The ring is attached to the animal's leash and allows the animal free movement within a circular area defined by the length of the leash. A plurality of removable pins anchor the device to the ground, with the pins being stored in storage grooves in the main body when not in use. The main body has a central recess that accommodates a bowl for food or water. | 06-11-2009 |
20090314225 | Tether Restraint Apparatus and Method - An apparatus is disclosed that comprises two folding members, pivotally connected and having a tether attachment; and two stakes, wherein each folding member has one of the two stakes pivotally connected and stowable within, and where the stakes may be pivoted outside of the folding members for deployment. The two folding members are operable to be folded together with each folding member having one of the two stakes stowed within, and are further operable to be unfolded to deploy the two stakes by pivoting each of the two stakes outwardly from within the two folding members. | 12-24-2009 |
20130145993 | DOUBLE DOG RUN SYSTEM - A double dog run system utilizes a system of uniquely configured swivel members attached via a ground anchor to a container with sloped surfaces. Two dog leashes are connected to the swivel members by rotatable clamp members. The resulting system causes separation of the leashes when they are crossed, and compels the leashes to slide down the sloped surface of the container to the ground. The system guarantees that the leashes will never tangle, regardless of the speed and direction of movement of the dogs attached at the other ends of the leashes. | 06-13-2013 |
