ABSTRACT:
This disclosure is directed to a gentle, yet effective versatile restraint system for persons, e.g., patients, which permits exercise without impairment of circulation and can be readily fitted to beds, cribs, etc. to effectively restrain bed patients, children, senile and/or incontinent persons to prevent them from harming themselves and/or engaging in unhealthy practices. This restraint system contains a central tube or bar portion; mating end tube or bar portions; clamp means in conjunction with spring loaded pins to adjustably secure the end portions to side rails of a bed or crib; mounting rings slidably movable both inwardly and outwardly laterally along the central tube (bar) portion between a plurality of stops located so as to independently restrict the lateral movement of each mounting ring; soft, cushioned, strong, adjustable limb-restraining loop (cuff) members and connecting members connecting the mounting rings and the limb-restraining loop members to permit free, 360 degrees clockwise and counterclockwise, movement of the limb-restraining loop (cuff) members.
