ABSTRACT:
A patient restraining device having an adjustable length bar configured to attach to the side rails of a bed and be located beneath the bed. Pivoted levers attached to the bar are connectable to straps passing around each side of the bed and connected to a restraining vest worn by the patient. The pivotable levers are in turn connected to a switch box attached to the bar so that tension in either one or both of the restraining straps causes the switch mechanism of the switch box to be activated, which in turn activates an internal or external alarm. The pivotable levers are arranged with compressible bushings so that tension in the straps must exceed a predetermined level for the levers to pivot far enough to activate the alarm.
