ABSTRACT:
A flexible omnidirectionally reflective pet leash having a handle, central pet leash, and pet collar sections that reflect an incoming light beam back in the same direction as it was emanated. The reflected light beam provides accurate illumination of the pet owner's hand, pet leash and the location of the pet during dusk or nighttime hours. This flexible omnidirectionally reflective pet leash is created by surrounding a central braided rope of nylon or polyethylene fibers with a cylindrically braided reflective sleeve composed of narrow width reflective strips that comprise narrow woven, braided or knitted nylon or polypropylene strips thermally bonded to a flexible polymeric sheet with attached retroreflectors of the corner cube or microsphere configuration. This omnidirectionally reflective pet leash reflects light over a larger angle of acceptance, illuminating pet owner's hand, pet leash and the pet's collar, thereby providing an improved measure of safety for both the pet and the pet handler.
