Wrist and ankle secured restraining device

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention relates to an improved type of prisoner restraining device which is used in combination with handcuffs or similar wrist binding.
The restraining device is an elongated strap having a brass ring on one end for forming a loop that is placed around the prisoner's ankles.
The elongated strap is then led through a quick-release cam type slide fastener which is connected to a short length of strap having a snap hook thereon.
The free end of the elongated strap can then be used for adjustment through the slide fastener to lengthen or shorten the length between the ankle loop and the snap hook which is then connected to the prisoner's handcuffs.
Thus, a tug on the free end of the strap can shorten the effective length between ankle loop and snap hook thereby increasingly restraining the prisoner.
Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a quick-release restraining strap for use in controlling a handcuffed prisoner.
It is also an object of the present invention to provide a restraining device that can be quickly released and removed from a prisoner once he has been delivered to a place of detention.
It is also an object of the present invention to provide a prisoner restraining device that can be secure yet either comfortable or severely restrictive depending upon the exigencies of the situation.
Finally, it is an object of the present invention to provide versatile, positive restrainment for prisoners of either large or small body size as it serves to keep a prisoner under control at all times, either while standing or sitting in a squad car.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be evident from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings which illustrate the invention.
