ABSTRACT:
A quick disconnect leash for a surfboard or the like consists of a resilient cord affixed at one end to an object such as a surfboard and a securing strap attached to the opposite end for securing the leash to the ankle or waist of a user. The securing strap is closed by a quick release mechanism consisting of a fastener having opposed locking members for securing the ends of the strap and a quick release assembly for rapidly and conveniently releasing the fastener to free the ends of the strap. The quick release mechanism consists of a connector for acting on the fastener and a upstanding pull for actuating the connector. Preferably the fastener is of the side release type consisting of a housing and clip which is received in the housing to lock the two members together which is released by. The fastener is released by pulling the pull to cause the connector to unlock the clip from the housing. The pull should be of sufficient size to be readily grasped, even under emergency conditions. The ring is of sufficient stiffness to carry the pull in the generally upright position, while at the same time is sufficiently resilient so that the pull can be readily moved aside in the event of contact with another object so that the fastener is not accidently released.
