ABSTRACT:
A two-loop strap restraint for law enforcement is lightweight, strong, inexpensive, disposable, and can be formed entirely of recyclable polymeric material, and is easy to apply and carry. This restraint has a pair of apertures in its central bridging portion for curling into a compact four-loop configuration for easily carrying several of them in an unobtrusive, concealed manner in a pocket. The restraint fits all size wrists, ankles for use in a wide variety of law enforcement situations. It has the general form of a single non-metal elongated strap of polymeric material having a pair of symmetrically positioned latching socket bosses of polymeric material located near the center of the strap with a resilient latching pawl formed of polymeric material positioned in each socket. A flexible ratchet portion of the restraint extends outwardly from each socket boss with a narrow tip pull extending outwardly from the ratchet portion to a rounded tip. In use, a tip pull is inserted through a socket opening. The resilient pawl allows the flexible ratchet portion to be drawn forwardly in an insertion direction through the socket for engaging snugly around a wrist, ankle or anchoring member, then the pawl prevents the inserted ratchet portion of the strap restraint from being moved backwardly from the socket in an extraction direction for securely holding a restrained limb (arm or leg). The socket bosses project solely toward the outside of the restraint for facilitating quickly, properly inserting tip pulls into socket mouths in the dark.
