ABSTRACT:
A tangle limiting pet collar of the type comprising a band of material forming a collar (12) which encircles the neck of a pet, a means of leash attachment (10), and a diameter adjustment means (14). A focus of weight which serves to counterbalance the weight at the leash attachment (10) site is set so that it's roughly 180 degrees from the leash attachment (10). This ensures that the leash attachment is maintained in a position on top of the pet's neck, as opposed to drifting down towards the pet's legs, where it has a greater chance of becoming entangled. Such a weight may take a variety of forms, or even simply be the diameter adjuster itself (14). The focus of weight should be equal to or greater than the weight bearing on the collar at the leash attachment (10). The weight can be integral with the collar, or added to conventional collars and choke chains/collars. Either the leash attachment (10), or the diameter adjuster (14) must be adjustable around the perimeter of the collar. This ensures that the focus of weight is always positioned so that it counterbalances the leash attachment, regardless of varying collar diameters. The principle of counterbalancing weights may also be employed in a convertible collar/choke chain, as shown in FIG. 8 and described in claims 8, 9, 19, and 20.
