Abstract:

A wrist restraining device for restraining a person uses two strap element defined wrist enclosing loops and wherein strap lengths extend from the loops and are joined such as to define a U-shaped stiffened bight configuration with the bight facing a cinch bar used to tighten the loops. With tightening of the loops, the bight enlarges to a larger shaped configuration that serves as a handle locating distant from the person's restrained wrists and hands so that an officer can grasp the handle and use it as a control for controlling the person's movement without unnecessarily exposing the officer to the restrained person's hands. Structure to minimize pressure imposed on the person's wrists with the device is included in the device. A kit is provided for assembling the device from components representing the several elements of the device.
