Abstract

A wrist restraint apparatus includes two straps threaded through an outer sleeve. By grasping the outer sleeve at a thumb-rest with one hand, a user can use his other hand to pull the outer sleeve to the rear, thus tightening the straps around the wrists of a restrained person. The length of the straps can then be secured by rotating the outer sleeve until the locking pin engages the appropriate notch in the locking channel port. To loosen or remove the straps, the outer sleeve is pulled slightly to the rear and rotated so that the locking pin disengages from the locking channel port. Once the device is applied, additional restraints, such as standard handcuffs or ankle cuffs, can be used if necessary to meet custody and control level escort requirements. The device acts as a handle to provide control over the inmate from the rear. The connection ring allows for the addition of a strap or chain to allow the individual to be restrained to a specific location or to allow a greater distance between the officer and the inmate during escort.
