ABSTRACT:
An animal tethering device is disclosed which includes a tubular member placed in the ground in a more-or-less permanent position. A rod-like member or restraint stake to which a flexible line can be connected is inserted in the tubular member with a flexible line attached to tie an animal. The tubular member has an upper collar extending outwardly from an upper end portion thereof for visibility. The rod-like member has a rain cap which is received over the upper extremity of the tubular member and substantially prevents entry of water thereinto. A bearing surface is also established between the rain cap and the tubular member to reduce the possibility of entanglement. The upper end of the tubular member has a spiral ridge on the outer surface thereof and the rain cap has an inwardly-extending projection engagable with the ridge. The rod-like member then must be turned relative to the tubular member when being fully inserted into the tubular member or being removed therefrom, making accidental removal of the rod-like member difficult.
