Abstract: A rigid handcuff assembly is disclosed that includes a pair of handcuff bracelets adapted to be releasably applied to a person's wrists. The handcuff bracelets include cheek plate assemblies that are pivotally interconnected to a connecting block that includes locking mechanism enabling movement of the handcuff bracelets between folded positions disposed in overlying juxtaposed relation, and positions wherein the handcuffs are automatically locked in rigid substantially coplanar aligned relation. The interconnected cheek plate assemblies define a handgrip when disposed in rigid aligned relation. The handgrip has structural indicia thereon adapted to be sensed by the user's hand, such as a raised palm swell surface sensed by the palm of a user's hand, and thumb sensing indicia disposed in predetermined relation to the user's thumb when gripping the handcuff, thereby enabling predetermined orientation and manipulation of the rigid handcuffs without direct eye contact with the handcuff assembly.

Abstract: A baton scabbard for stowing various length batons enables insertion into and removal of a baton from the scabbard through lateral movement of the baton. The scabbard includes a generally C-shaped housing that supports a pair of laterally spaced snap-action latching mechanisms mutually cooperable in response to entry of a baton to effect a snap-action retention of the baton within the housing. A belt or strap attachment is pivotally connected to the housing for attaching the scabbard to a user's belt and permits the housing and a baton held therein to be selectively oriented relative to the user irrespective of the length of the baton.

Abstract: The pull device comprises a stem or body, a pull structure at one of the stem or body; an end bar or crossbar at the other end of the body or stem and extending transversely of the stem or body for extending through at least one hole in at least one end of a free tip end portion of a strap of a restraint for facilitating pulling of the strap through a locking box of the restraint in a single pull. The strap restraint comprises at least one strap having a free tip end portion and the strap having a hole in the strap adjacent an end of the free tip end portion of the strap for receiving a bar of a pull device.

Abstract: The handcuff assembly includes a bow pivotally connected to a cheek plate frame assembly which includes a unitized frame that is die stamped from a metal plate and which is overmolded with a polymer overmold. The unitized frame has interlocking tabs on folded side plates of a base frame. A swivel cup is fixed in the base frame of the cheek plate assembly prior to polymer overmolding. A swivel with a welded chain link mounted thereon includes a swivel pin which is received in the swivel cup.

Abstract: The handcuff assembly includes a bow pivotally connected to a cheek plate frame assembly which includes a unitized frame that is die stamped from a metal plate and which is overmolded with a polymer overmold. The bow and arcuate cheek arms engage a wrist of a person to be restrained with an envelope of the bow being defined by a conic path with an increasing arc.
