Abstract: A set of double locking handcuffs wherein a single cuff has a frame that is a solid member, having an ergonomic base and a single arcuate arm, to which an opposite-facing arcuate swing arm is pivotally affixed at the top of the arm that rotates parallel to the frame in a bypass manner without a mechanical union with the base of the frame. At the top of the swing arm at the pivot point is the housing, having the gear, pawl, and lock assembly disposed in its cavity. The gear's circumference has both ratcheting and smooth surfaces that cooperate with the pawl. The lock assembly comprises a keyway that is configured to cooperate with protrusions within the cavity to prevent defeat of the cuff. The housing of one cuff is at the opposite axial end of the housing of the adjoining cuff when the set is extended outward.

Abstract: A restraint device having a tubular body with a handle at one end and a telescopic extension rod at the other end which allows the overall length of the body to be selectively adjusted. A cuff is attached to a tether at the end of the rod in a non-deployed position. The tether can be released so a law enforcement officer can loosely control a detainee. Electrical circuitry in the body is connected to electrodes on the lower end of the handle and on the cuff so a disabling charge can be delivered. The device is also useful to civilians as a protective device when jogging, walking, bicycling or the like.

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.

Abstract: An automated wrist restraint system providing a safe and simple device to immobilize a suspect. A conformal flexible band is employed in a loop configuration, to allow, in the open position, the entry of the largest sized hand encountered in the field. In the closed position the band conforms to the geometry of the wrist to minimize contact forces and prevent wrist injury. Additionally, a microprocessor, controlled servomechanism opens, closes and slackens the band to further prevent wrist injury. A simply activated, holster worn, radio transmitter allows the operator to remotely activate the system, while maintaining a safe distance from the suspect. Among the many possibilities contemplated, the system may be fitted to a law enforcement vehicle, or a robot.

The single locking head/single strap support includes a manually movable locking member which includes locking member ratchets for engagement with the strap ratchets. With one embodiment of the single-strap handcuff apparatus of the invention, a two-link chain of single-strap handcuff apparatuses is formed. With another embodiment of the single-strap handcuff apparatus of the invention, a three-link chain of single-strap handcuff apparatuses is formed.

Abstract: A safety shield for double-lock leg cuffs having a first lock for disengaging or releasing the leglets after the same have been applied to the legs of a prisoner, and a second lock for fixing the preset contracted position of the leglets on the prisoner's legs. The box-like shield comprises access slots in a wall thereof through which a portion of the associated leg cuff key may be inserted to actuate the second lock without opening the shield or revealing the first lock or removing the shield from the leg cuffs. This arrangement permits the shields to be secured over the leg cuffs prior to application to a prisoner and thereby enhances the officer's safety. The safety shield is also suitable for use with handcuffs including a pair of wristlets pivotally and rotatably connected by either an enlarged ring portion or a short link chain.

Abstract: A restraining device for restricting mobility an individual is provided. The restraining device includes an elongated strap having first and second ends. An attaching member, having first and second portions, is secured to the elongated strap, where the first portion is attached to the first end and the second portion is slidably attached to the second end creating a retaining loop for tightly wrapping around an individual's legs. The second end of the elongated strap is extended out a car door leaving the second end hanging outside the car. A retaining strap, defining a series of loops, is attached to a side of the second end of the elongated strap between the second portion of the attaching member and a ring which is attached to the second end of the elongated strap. A fastening member is attached to the ring and is used to adjust the length of the second end hanging outside the car.

Abstract: The present invention provides a pick-resistant handcuff, which includes a fixed arc-shaped hook having an accommodation chamber, a movable arc-shaped hook having one end pivotally connected to the fixed arc-shaped hook and a plurality of projecting teeth provided at the other end thereof which can be rotated into the accommodation chamber, an elastic member having one end fixed in the accommodation chamber and another end split into two pressing parts, two locking members pivotally connected in the accommodation chamber and each pressed by the corresponding pressing part and provided with a plurality of lock projecting teeth for engaging with the projecting teeth, and a spacer located between the two locking members and having a through hole corresponding in configuration to a key tooth groove of a key. Thus, the movable arc-shaped hook can only be released from engagement with the locking members by the key, but not a pointed object.

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.

Abstract: A pivot lock for use in a handcuff of the type having a body containing a primary locking system and having parallel strands extending laterally therefrom terminating at a pivoting end, which supports a pivoting locking arm with a plurality of ratcheted teeth for engaging the primary lock. The pivot lock positioned at the pivoting end includes a pivot gear affixed to the locking arm at a pivoting juncture of the strands and the locking arm. The pivot gear has a plurality of teeth about its periphery. A locking pawl has at least one detent and a projection therefrom and is supported by one of the parallel strands. The locking pawl is selectively rotatable between a locked position wherein the projection is in engagement with the plurality of teeth of the pivot gear and an open position wherein the projection is disengaged from the plurality of teeth.

Abstract: A remote lock mechanism for a handcuff allows the unlocking of the handcuff by insertion of the key in the remote lock mechanism. The remote lock mechanism is located adjacent the pivot connecting the movable jaw of the handcuff to the fixed jaw and, thus, can be operated when the handcuffs are used to restrain a person without the officer's hands being placed between the wrists of the person being restrained. The motion corresponding to the rotation of the key in the remote lock mechanism is transferred to the handcuff lock mechanism to retract the ratchet pawl away from the movable jaw of the handcuff. In one embodiment, the remote lock mechanism utilizes a tumbler that causes opposing rotation of the conventional lock mechanism to first release the double lock mechanism and then retract the ratchet pawl with opposing rotations of the key in the remote lock mechanism.
