ABSTRACT:
A leash and collar or harness combination permitting, in accordance with this invention, a handler by the use of one finger or thumb to readily release an animal or child wearing the collar or harness. The leash and collar or harness comprises a device enabling it to be secured tightly yet confortably around the animal or child in a semi-permanent manner. An essentially flat, somewhat elongate component regardable as a male member is secured to the collar or harness so as to protrude therefrom for at least one inch. A flexible leash is intended to be utilized in combination with the collar or harness, such leash having on one end a female latching member in which is disposed a slot for releasably receiving the essentially flat component. A suitable latching device is located inside the female member adjacent the slot, which latching device is arranged to engage the essentially flat component at the time of its insertion into the slot. The latching device includes a spring, the female member also having a release button whereby the handler can readily move the latching device against the spring bias to a release position. The leash is attachable to the collar or harness merely by causing the essentially flat component to slide into the slot, where it automatically becomes latched. Importantly, the release of the animal or child, even if struggling, can be readily achieved by the handler pressing the release button with one finger to overcome the spring bias.
