ABSTRACT:
A two-pet no-tangle retractable leash device including an axle having a rod opening perpendicular to its axis and a first spool including a first leash and a second spool including a second leash rotatably mounted on the axle. Each leash having a proximal end attached to the spool and a distal end extending through one of two leash openings. Additionally, each spool has a spool brake and a return spring, where a proximal end of the return spring is connected to the spool and a distal end of the return spring is connected to the axle. When a force is applied to pull on the leashes, the spools rotate thereby unwinding the return springs. When the force is removed, the return springs rewind forcing the spool to rewind the leash to its original position. The device further includes a shaft having a proximal and a distal ends, the shaft being positioned perpendicular to the axle; a brake rod having a distal end passing through the rod opening and the proximal end passing through the shaft; a cone disk brake connected to the distal end of the brake rod; and a brake spring positioned on the brake rod between the disk cone brake and the axle, wherein the shaft rotation around the shaft axis and the spools' rotation around the axle axis is enabled when the brake is not engaged and disabled when the brake is engaged.
