International Classification:

E05B 75/00

Abstract:

A restraint apparatus and system includes a rigid bracelet cuff separator connected to and between a pair lockable bracelet cuffs. The bracelet cuff separator is width-adjustable and the bracelet cuffs are rotatable about a longitudinal axis of the bracelet separator. The system includes a leg restraint apparatus with a rigid separator connected to and between ankle cuffs. The ankle cuffs are joined distally to the rigid separator by multi-axis couplings that enable a restrained person to lift his or her feet a sufficient height in order to safely climb stairs or curbs. Sections of the bracelet separator and the leg restraint include portions configured to connect to a quick connect/disconnect coupling of a connector post. The handcuffing apparatus and the leg restraint apparatus may be employed separately of one another or independently of the connector post.
