ABSTRACT:
The present invention teaches a portable convertible tethering system which is centered around a retractable leash cartridge. The leash cartridge may be used alone to restrain children or animals while moving about, or alternatively, the cartridge may be placed in the system's housing which is attached to an anchoring device thereby becoming an integral part of a stationary tethering device. The housing is sized and shaped specifically for securely holding a portable retractable leash cartridge inside, yet is designed for simple insertion and removal of the cartridge. The housing has a lockable door for holding the leash cartridge inside against force or agitation. The housing is pivotally mounted on the anchor device so that the end of the cartridge from which the leach cord extends may follow that which is tethered; this capability reduces the likelihood that whatever is tethered, particularly an animal such as a dog, will not likely tangle the leash cord around the base of the system's anchor. The system's two-fold use of the retractable leash cartridge provides a user with the most economical avenue for having effective and convenient devices for both mobile and stationary tethering.
