ABSTRACT:
A rigid handcuff (FIG. 3) includes a pair of separate lockable bracelet members (16, 18) each having a respective plate-like extension (30, 32) each of which abuts the other at end face along a line normal to a longitudinal axis of the handcuff, the line and the axis lying in the common plane of the bracelet members. A respective plate-like connector (38) overlies the abutted extensions (30, 32) with the outer ends of each connector (38) abutting against a respective bracelet member (16, 18). The extensions (30, 32) and the connectors (38) ensure that the bracelet members are restrained against all movement relative to one another thereby providing a rigid handcuff assembly. A cover assembly comprising a pair of opposed plastic cover members provides a rigid grip for the handcuff intermediate the bracelet members.
