A system for restraining the lower limbs of a prisoner being conveyed in a vehicle, such as a police car, to preclude injury to persons and to property by violent kicking action of the prisoner. The system utilizes a laminated strap having synthetic hook and loop fastening elements formed on one ply of the laminate and a reinforced vinyl backing formed on the other ply. One end of the strap is fastened to a grommet through which the other end of the strap may be drawn and folded over so that hook elements and loop elements may be engaged to adhere while the vinyl portion of the strap is tightly engaged about the lower limbs of the prisoner. A belt having a hook including a biased latch at one end of the belt is attached to the strap at the other end, and the hook can be secured to an anchor on the floor of the vehicle. The attachment of the belt to the strap may be either by a fixed securement or by an adjustable connection.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Consequently, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide restraining means for the lower limbs of a prisoner taken into custody by law enforcement officials, the restraining means being rapidly and securely attached about the prisoner and readily secured to a fixed support such as the floor of a police car.
It is another object of the present invention to provide the flexible belting including a laminated fastening strap which can securely and rapidly encircle and restrain the lower limbs such as the legs, thighs or ankles of a prisoner taken into police custody, the belting including means for rapidly connecting the strap to a relatively fixed surface, such as the floor of a police cruiser or the like, to preclude violent kicking and thrashing of the prisoner's feet.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide lower limb restraining means for resisting prisoners being conveyed to a detention center such as a station house or the like, the restraining means comprising a laminated strap having synthetic loop and fastener elements extending from a surface thereof and bonded to a strong plastic sheet of material such as reinforced vinyl, the strap being secured adjacent one end to a grommet through which the other end may be directed after encircling the lower limbs of the prisoner so that one type of fastener element may be superposed over and rapidly connected to fastener elements of the other type on the adjacent portion of the strap, the outer surfaces of the plastic sheet facing the limbs of the prisoner, and a second grommet carried by the strap for attaching one end of belting having a biased connecting latch at the other end, the latch being adapted to be connected to an anchor fixed to the floor of the conveyor.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a restraining belt means for the lower limbs of a prisoner or the like, the belt means comprising a laminated strap of the type forming the subject matter of the aforesaid copending application Ser
