GB2523400A - Dog safety latch - Google Patents

Abstract

A means for tethering a leashed dog comprises a latch hook which can attach to a wall, fence, railings or the like. The hook has a moveable safety latch for closing the hook, so that a dog leash handle can be hooked onto the hook and trapped by closing the latch. Removal of the leash handle requires opposing movement of the latch, thus preventing the dog leash from being accidentally unhooked, e.g. through movements by the dog. Means may be provided for attaching the hook to a wall (see figure 2) or railings (see figure 3). A wall plate may be attached to a wall and provided with several latch hooks (see figure 4). A sign may be provided in conjunction with the latch hook, for example bearing advertising material (see figure 5).
