Abstract: |
A safety restraint for pets adapted for multiple uses, including utilization with an existing vehicular seat belt system, and method for constructing the restraint. The restraint includes first and second closed loops formed by a length of webbing joined at its opposite ends and secured at a webbing intersection. Each of the closed loops is characterized by an angular loop segment diverging from the intersection at a fixed angle of less than 90°. Straps releasably associate opposite sides of the loops, and connecting bands at the loops are adapted to be releasably linked with each other. A tether strap is connected with the one of the bands, a securement being provided to receive and secure the tether strap. A buckle set at the first and second closed loops adjacent to the connecting bands may be engaged to secure the relative positions of the loops when the pet is free running.

What is claimed is:
1. A safety restraint for pets comprising:
- first and second closed loops formed by a length of webbing joined at opposite ends and secured at a webbing intersection thereby defining said closed loops each extending from said intersection, said webbing secured at said intersection so that each of said closed loops is characterized by an angular loop segment diverging from said intersection at a fixed angle of less than 90°;
- first and second straps connected at said first and second closed loops, respectively, spaced from said intersection, said first strap adapted for releasably associating opposite sides of said first closed loop and said second strap adapted for releasably associating opposite sides of said second closed loop; and
- first and second connecting bands at said first and second closed loops, respectively, spaced from said intersection and adapted to be releasably linked with each other.
