Definitions

  • the present invention pertains to handcuffs and particularly to covering structures used to provide handcuffs that are rigid and holsterable.
  • Prior art rigid handcuffs typically are formed of two plates that cover the center (see for example US-A-5233 848 ) chain between two clasps and are secured by four spaced bolts. Forces on such handcuffs can cause bending of the plates and cause problems in handling by a user attempting to restrain a handcuffed individual or in applying the handcuffs to an individual to be restrained. What is desired is a far more rigid central covering apparatus and a pair of cuffs that can be holstered and are easy to use quickly. In addition, an opening to allow an additional restraining means to be connected to the apparatus should be included in a manner as to not weaken the cover.
  • a cover for a handcuff assembly that includes a pair of spaced lock assemblies having substantially planar opposite side surfaces connected together by a connecting member and a clasp member attached to each lock assembly for securing a handcuff assembly to limbs of an individual to be restrained, the cover comprising a plurality of members mounted around such handcuff assembly for enclosing connecting means and enclosing lock assemblies to inhibit twisting motion of lock assemblies and connected clasp members about such connecting member.
  • the plurality of members includes a pair of oppositely disposed elongate rigid channel members each having a body including a pair of walls connected along one elongate edge portion and open along another elongate edge portion to define an interior space therein for enclosing a connecting member and attached lock assemblies therein. Also included is securing means for securing the members to lock assemblies.
  • One channel member has a pair of aligned openings therethrough for forming a restraining means opening in the cover.
  • the plurality of members further includes a pair of plate members, each plate member mounted to a connecting member and lock assembly to sandwich a connecting member and attached lock assemblies therein, the plate members are sized to be enclosed within the interior spaces of the channel members.
  • Each plate member has an opening aligned with the openings in the channel member.
  • the outer surface is shaped to conform to the hand of a user grasping the cover.
  • the channel members also include arcuate end portions formed to conform to the facing inner portions of clasp members.
  • each channel member is mounted in an abutting relationship, a connecting member and attached lock assemblies being enclosed in the interior spaces.
  • Each opening in one channel member and plate members is located away from the location of a connecting means enclosed therein to prevent exposure of a connecting member and interference with restrain means in restraining means opening.
  • the body of each channel member includes a plurality of rib members projecting inwardly into the interior space for engaging the pair of plate members enclosed therein.
  • an improved handcuff apparatus comprising a handcuff assembly including a pair of spaced lock assemblies each carrying a clasp means or apparatus for securing the assembly to limbs of an individual to be restrained, connection means or member connecting the lock assemblies together, a handle cover assembly mounted about the connecting means and the lock assemblies to provide a rigid non-movable connection between the lock assemblies.
  • the cover assembly includes a pair of oppositely disposed elongate rigid channel members each having a body including an outer surface and an interior space for enclosing the connecting means and the attached lock assemblies therein, and securing means for securing the members together.
  • One channel member has a pair of oppositely disposed aligned openings therethrough for forming a restraining means opening in the cover assembly.
