A two-pet no-tangle retractable leash device including an axle having a
rod opening perpendicular to its axis and a first spool including a first
leash and a second spool including a second leash rotatably mounted on
the axle. Each leash having a proximal end attached to the spool and a
distal end extending through one of two leash openings. Additionally,
each spool has a spool brake and a return spring, where a proximal end of
the return spring is connected to the spool and a distal end of the
return spring is connected to the axle. When a force is applied to pull
on the leashes, the spools rotate thereby unwinding the return springs.
When the force is removed, the return springs rewind forcing the spool to
rewind the leash to its original position. The device further includes a
shaft having a proximal and a distal ends, the shaft being positioned
perpendicular to the axle; a brake rod having a distal end passing
through the rod opening and the proximal end passing through the shaft; a
cone disk brake connected to the distal end of the brake rod; and a brake
spring positioned on the brake rod between the disk cone brake and the
axle, wherein the shaft rotation around the shaft axis and the spools'
rotation around the axle axis is enabled when the brake is not engaged
and disabled when the brake is engaged.
