Abstract
Abstract A choker-type collar having a ring at each end of the collar with a sleeve guard member inserted along the collar between the two rings. The sleeve has an opening at each end of the sleeve to permit it to slide along the collar. One opening of the sleeve is smaller than the circumference of one of the rings to prevent the sleeve from slipping away from the collar. The other end of the sleeve is larger than the circumference of the ring to permit the sleeve to slide over the ring and cover it.
