ABSTRACT:
A new Rotatable Animal Tether Device for allowing free rotation of a secured leash and reduces the tangling and knotting of the leash. The inventive device includes a shaft member having an upper end and a lower end adapted for insertion into the ground, a top disk member and a bottom disk member being spaced apart and both being fixedly mounted on the upper end of the shaft member. A rotating disk member having a tab portion included on its outer perimeter is positioned between the top disk member and the bottom disk member. The rotating disk member is rotatably mounted on the upper end of the shaft member to permit free rotation of the rotating disk member around the upper end of the shaft member. The end of a flexible member for securing an animal, such as a leash, is attached to the tab portion of the rotating disk member. To help prevent an animal tethered to the device from pulling the shaft out of the ground, the lower end of the shaft is inserted into the ground so that the bottom disk member is resting on the surface of the ground.
