ABSTRACT:
A restraining belt for securing a patient to a wheelchair, stretcher, bed or similar implement and for inhibiting the accidental uncoupling thereof or the intentional uncoupling by a patient being restrained. The belt comprises a flexible strap of a desired length which is adapted to be passed around the body of the patient and around the implement to which the patient is being secured and has the cooperating parts of a Velcro-type hook and loop fastener elements disposed on opposed surfaces thereof and extending a predetermined distance from the ends of the belt towards its center, such that when the ends are overlapped, the Velcro hook pad abuts the Velcro loop pad. Further included is a flexible, fabric sleeve, having a length generally the same as that of the Velcro pads. The sleeve is attached to one end of the strap at a point intermediate the two ends thereof and can be drawn back or collapsed so as to expose the Velcro pad on one of the ends. After the two ends are overlapped and thereby coupled, the flexible sleeve may be extended to substantially enclose the entire area of the Velcro fastener.
