ABSTRACT:
A human restraint or hobble includes an elongated rigid pole having a handle at one end and a clasp at the other end. The clasp is operative to provide a locking grip upon a targeted subject's appendage such as a hand or ankle and once locked thereon, provides secure attachment. In several embodiments, the clasp utilizes a plurality of inwardly extending tines on either side of a U-shaped or V-shaped channel which permit the easy attachment of the clasp while frustrating attempts to remove the clasp. Embodiments are shown utilizing both rigid and flexible tine arrangements. In a still further alternate embodiment, a trigger mechanism is operatively coupled to the tine which releases the tine upon touching the subject thereby locking the clasp to the subject's appendage. In a still further alternate embodiment, the clasp utilizes a pair of pivotally supported jaws together with a trigger release mechanism which provides swift closure of the jaws when the clasp is brought into contact with the user's appendage.
