ABSTRACT:
A handcuff for dual use as a quick-release training device and an actual restraint device, which has a bail and an arcuate ratchet member with teeth. The handcuff includes a locking assembly, disposed within a bail, that has a pawl having a first end pivotally coupled to the bail and a second end with teeth pivotal between a secured position in which the teeth of the pawl engage the teeth of the ratchet member and an unsecured position in which the second end of the pawl is separated from the ratchet member. The second end of the pawl further has a vertical shoulder for engagement with the flange of a key inserted within the locking assembly for manipulating the pawl between the secured and unsecured positions upon rotation of the key. A stop member is disposed above the pawl and movable in and out of contact with the pawl upon engagement with the key to prevent the pawl from being placed in the unsecured position when the stop member is in contact with the pawl. A first shaft and knob is included to provide a quick-release feature for placing the pawl in the unsecured position when the stop member is not in contact with the pawl. A second shaft and knob is included to provide a simple way to quickly engage and disengage the stop member.
