ABSTRACT:
A handcuff container (1) is made of pieces (3, 4, 5) of material that are connected together to form compartments (13, 19) between the pieces into which a pair of handcuffs may be held. One of the handcuffs (the "inner" handcuff) is held in the inner compartment (13) which is formed by the two inner pieces (3, 4), and the second handcuff (the "outer" handcuff) is held in the outer compartment (19) which is formed by fastening the two outer pieces (4, 5) to each other using a releasable fastener (22A, 22B). When thus held in place, the outer handcuff is partially exposed. The handcuff container (1) can be attached to a user's belt (7) or equipment. Using a natural forward motion, the user, such as a law enforcement or security officer, grabs onto the outer handcuff which wedges between the outer two pieces (4, 5) that make up the outer compartment (19) and releases the fastener. The compartments (13, 19) are contoured so that when the user withdraws the handcuffs, the handcuffs are consistently in the proper position in the user's hand and need not be repositioned. When the handcuff pair is in the container, the locking mechanism (17) of the outer handcuff rests within the recessed opening of the inner handcuff keeping the profile of the container thin both for the comfort of the user and to better conceal the container.
