Abstract
An adjustable length leash (10) includes a handle portion (11) having a grip (13) and a neck (20) extending from the grip (13) for taking up undesired length in the lead (12). The lead (12) attaches to the neck (20) by being knotted through an aperture (22). A minor flange (32) provided at the top of the neck (20) helps retain the loops of the lead (12) on the neck (20) to achieve a desired lead length. A catch flange (30) is capable of catching the lead (12) at the bottom of the neck (20) such that one who utilizes the leash (10) may adjust the length of the lead (12) by winding the lead (12) around the neck (20) until the desired length extends from catch flange (30). The catch flange (30) includes a lead lock (36) which allows for a more secure fixing of the lead (12) length. The grip (13) is angled with respect to the neck (20) such that no matter at which length the lead (12) is retained, the forces exerted on the lead (12) are focused substantially straight through the wrist and arm of one using the leash (10) thereby substantially eliminating any torque upon the user's wrist.
