DETANGLING LEAD ASSEMBLY
First Claim
1. A detangling lead assembly comprising:
- a handle subassembly rotatably coupled to a proximal end of a body subassembly;
an elongated flexible lead having a first lead end and a second lead end;
the body subassembly comprising a pulley; and
the lead following a lead path from a distal end of the body assembly, around the pulley and extending from the distal end of the body subassembly whereby the first lead end and the second lead end extend generally in a distal direction from the handle subassembly and the lead is generally movable back and forth around the pulley.

Abstract
A detangling lead assembly comprising an elongated flexible lead having a first lead end and a second lead end, a body subassembly comprising a pulley, the lead retained in a lead path from a distal end of the body assembly, around the pulley and extending from the distal end of the body subassembly whereby the first lead end and the second lead end extend generally in a distal direction from the handle subassembly and the lead is generally movable back and forth around the pulley. In some embodiments, the lead assembly further comprises a handle subassembly rotatably coupled to a proximal end of the body subassembly. In some embodiments, the housing further comprises exit points for the lead ends defining a moment arm for a moment to force the body subassembly to rotate and uncross a crossing of the lead ends.

14. A lead assembly comprising:
-
a body subassembly; a single lead received in the body subassembly; the single lead having a first lead end and a second lead end; the first lead end extending from the body subassembly at a first lead end length and the second lead end extending from the body subassembly at a second end length; a means to adjust the first lead end length and the second lead end length; and a means to rotatably anchor the body subassembly whereby the body subassembly rotates in reaction to one or more moments to avoid the first lead end wrapping around the second lead end. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
