  • Patent number: 8985420
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a tactical carrying pack for back-supported transport of a payload, comprising a vertical base plate having a front and a back and having an upright support connection section thereon. There is also a left shoulder bar having a top portion and a bottom portion, the top portion of the left shoulder bar extending forward in an inverted hook shape for hooking over a shoulder. The left shoulder bar is hingedly connected at its bottom portion to the upright support connection section so as to at least rotate through an arc from a first position to a second position and from the second position to the first position. The first position is a substantially vertical position and the second position is a non-vertical position. There is also a right shoulder bar having a top portion and a bottom portion, the top portion of the right shoulder bar extending forward in an inverted hook shape for hooking over a shoulder.

  • Patent number: 8595904
    Abstract: A disposable handcuff system restrains a person's wrists. The system has a flexible tie comprising a locking head, an elongated, substantially planar strap extending from the locking head having a through passageway, and a locking sleeve. The locking head and the locking sleeve have stops that permit the end of the strap to be readily inserted through the passageway and the locking sleeve, but inhibit withdrawal of the strap after it has been tightened around the wrists of the subject.

  • Patent number: 8490442
    Abstract: A compact, lightweight, polymeric injection molded handcuff has a strap with a distal free end and a substantially rectangular head. The strap has knife grabbing features that include a plurality of hillocks with valleys therebetween. The strap head has an aperture surrounded by a deformable frame carrying an integrally molded slanted knife with a sharp knife-edge. The strap's distal end is inserted into the head's aperture and a ring is inserted half way therealong to form two loops for inserting a prisoner's hands therethrough. When the distal end of the strap is pulled to tighten the handcuff, the knife-edge rides the hillocks, which interfere therewith owing to deformation of the head's rectangular portion. Upon clearing the hillocks, the knife comes to rest in one of the valleys, thereby securing the prisoner. Attempts by the prisoner to release the handcuff dig the slanted knife-edge into an adjacent hillock, locking the handcuff.
