Abstract: A safety hook having a first member with a resilient stem. The first member also has a base with a larger cross-section than the stem. A second member is substantially disc-shaped and has an annular mounting surface disposed on a first side of the disc. The second member further includes a recess, also disposed on the first side of the disc, but interior to the annular mounting surface. The safety hook is installed with the annular mounting surface placed in contact with a mounting location and the base of the first member disposed within the recess and the stem protruding through the second member to a second side of the disc. The stem is positioned with the open end of the U-shape oriented upward so that the stem supports a downward force, but flexes under the influence of loads applied in other directions.

Abstract: An isolation cell for transporting inmates, and a method of loading and unloading the inmates from the cell. The isolation cell features a number of separate compartments for holding inmates. Once in the compartments, the inmates are isolated to be out of contact with the other inmates within the cell. A number of interior walls are positioned throughout the cell to form the separate compartments. One or more of the interior walls are movable between first and second positions. In the first positions, the interior walls are moved in a manner for the inmates to be loaded and unloaded from the compartments. In the second positions, the interior walls are locked to complete the compartments and securely isolate the inmates.

Abstract: The present invention entails a removable modular security enclosure for the internal cargo area of prisoner transport vans where each compartment within the security enclosure is defined by an interconnection of four walls and a roof panel. Any of the components defining the enclosure may be comprised of multiple interconnected sections. Sections and components of the enclosure are interconnected by such means as fasteners or interlocking devices. The walls of the enclosure are connected to the floor of the van where said floor serves as the floor of the enclosure. Access to a compartment is provided by a securable port in one of the defining walls. Benches may be provided along the walls inside the enclosure. When the security enclosure is composed of two separate compartments, a common wall may be used where the two compartments are in contact. Any compartment may also be provided with an adjustable vertical partition for dividing the compartment into two smaller subcompartments.
