Description

Domaine techniqueTechnical area

La présente invention concerne le domaine technique des menottes sous forme d'un ou deux bracelets reliés entre eux, et destinés à être attachées à un poignet ou aux deux poignets d'un individu et concerne en particulier une menotte adaptée pour faciliter sa mise en place sur un individu.The present invention relates to the technical field of handcuffs in the form of one or two bracelets connected together, and intended to be attached to one wrist or to both wrists of an individual and concerns in particular a handcuff adapted to facilitate its implementation on an individual.

Etat de la techniqueState of the art

Une menotte de sûreté connue de l'état de la technique comprend un premier demi-bracelet monté à pivotement sur un second demi-bracelet, le premier demi-bracelet étant muni à son extrémité libre d'une crémaillère destinée à coopérer avec un cliquet de verrouillage portant une denture correspondant à la denture de la crémaillère. Le cliquet est placé dans le corps de la menotte et est en général solidaire du second demi-bracelet. La forme et l'orientation des dentures empêchent le retour en arrière du premier demi-bracelet dès que la crémaillère de celui-ci est en prise avec le cliquet. La menotte est ainsi « fermée » autour du poignet d'un individu ou autour d'un objet de façon à être fixée à lui. La longueur de la denture de la crémaillère est conçue pour que la menotte puisse s'adapter et s'ajuster parfaitement à des poignets de différentes grosseurs et aussi à des chevilles. Le corps de la menotte comprend également des moyens de verrouillage et déverrouillage tels qu'une serrure pour bloquer la menotte une fois que celle-ci est ajustée et également pour pouvoir faire reculer le premier demi-bracelet et ouvrir la menotte.A security cuff known from the state of the art comprises a first half-bracelet pivotally mounted on a second half-bracelet, the first half-bracelet being provided at its free end with a rack for cooperating with a pawl of locking bearing a toothing corresponding to the teeth of the rack. The ratchet is placed in the body of the handcuff and is generally secured to the second half-bracelet. The shape and orientation of the teeth prevent the back of the first half-bracelet back as soon as the rack of the latter is engaged with the pawl. The handcuff is thus "closed" around the wrist of an individual or around an object so as to be fixed to him. The length of the teeth of the rack is designed so that the handcuff can fit and fit perfectly to wrists of different sizes and also to ankles. The body of the handcuff also includes locking and unlocking means such as a lock to block the handcuff once it is adjusted and also to be able to roll back the first half-bracelet and open the handcuff.

Ce type de menotte présente plusieurs inconvénients. D'une part l'utilisateur est obligé de se servir de ses deux mains pour mettre en place la menotte. Une main tient le corps de la menotte et le second demi-bracelet contre le membre à entraver tandis que la seconde main ajuste le premier demi-bracelet tout autour du membre en engageant plus ou moins la crémaillère dans le cliquet selon la grosseur du membre à entraver. Pendant cette manipulation, l'utilisateur n'est alors plus libre de ses mouvements et peut se trouver en position de faiblesse en cas de comportement agressif de la personne à entraver. Ce type de menotte ne peut être mis en place sur une personne qui n'est pas maîtrisée ou consentante. D'autre part, ce type de menotte nécessite que la personne à menotter ait le membre à entraver écarté du corps ou de toute surface. En effet, le premier demi-bracelet pivotant librement autour du second, le membre à entraver ne peut être menotté que s'il y a un espace entre le membre et le premier demi-bracelet.This type of handcuff has several disadvantages. On the one hand the user is obliged to use both hands to set up the handcuff. A hand holds the body the handcuff and the second half-bracelet against the member to hobble while the second hand adjusts the first half-bracelet around the member by engaging more or less the rack in the ratchet size of the member to hinder. During this manipulation, the user is no longer free of his movements and may be in a position of weakness in case of aggressive behavior of the person to hinder. This type of handcuff can not be put in place on a person who is not controlled or willing. On the other hand, this type of handcuff requires that the person to be handcuffed has the limb to hobbled away from the body or any surface. Indeed, the first half-bracelet pivoting freely around the second, the member to be hindered can be handcuffed if there is a space between the member and the first half-bracelet.

Les documents US 2516878 , GB 2 439 088 , FR 829 746 et US 5 555 751 décrivent, chacun, une menotte composée d'un premier demi-bracelet et d'un second demi-bracelet pouvant être refermés en position verrouillée autour d'un objet et ouverts grâce à un moyen d'ouverture pouvant être déverrouillé au moyen d'une clé et au moins un corps de menotte comprenant des moyens de verrouillage de la menotte, ledit premier demi-bracelet étant monté pivotant autour d'un axe situé dans le corps de la menotte et pouvant être mis en mouvement autour dudit axe de façon à permettre la préhension dudit objet. Dans le document US 2516878 , la menotte comporte un moyen de détection de présence de membre qui, sous la poussée du membre entravé, bloque le bracelet et empêche la menotte de s'ouvrir. Mais aucune de ces menottes ne comporte de moyen de verrouillage en position ouverte empêchant sa fermeture intempestive et permettant une préhension frontale du membre à entraver.The documents US 2516878 , GB 2,439,088 , FR 829 746 and US 5,555,751 describe, each, a handcuff consisting of a first half-bracelet and a second half-bracelet that can be closed in a locked position around an object and opened by an opening means that can be unlocked by means of a key and at least one handcuff body including means for locking the handcuff, said first half-bracelet being pivotally mounted about an axis located in the body of the handcuff and movable about said axis so as to allow gripping said object. In the document US 2516878 , the handcuff includes a limb presence detection means which, under the thrust of the limb hampered, blocks the bracelet and prevents the handcuff from opening. But none of these handcuffs has a locking means in the open position preventing its inadvertent closure and allowing a frontal grip of the member to hinder.

Un autre inconvénient de ce type de menotte réside dans le fait que, lorsque l'utilisateur doit enlever la menotte, il doit tenir la menotte d'une main, l'ouvrir avec la clef et ensuite dégager le membre entravé de l'emprise circulaire de la menotte. Toutes ces manipulations rendent l'utilisation des menottes fastidieuse et pas toujours adaptée à une situation nécessitant parfois urgence et rapidité.Another disadvantage of this type of handcuff is that when the user has to remove the handcuff, must hold the handcuff with one hand, open it with the key and then release the restrained limb from the circular grip of the handcuff. All these manipulations make the use of handcuffs tedious and not always suitable for a situation sometimes requiring urgency and speed.

Exposé de l'inventionPresentation of the invention

C'est pourquoi, le but de l'invention est de réaliser une menotte palliant les inconvénients cités et en particulier une menotte maintenue verrouillée en position ouverte empêchant ainsi sa fermeture intempestive et permettant une préhension frontale du membre à entraver à l'aide d'une seule main.Therefore, the object of the invention is to achieve a handcuff to overcome the disadvantages mentioned and in particular a handcuff held locked in the open position thus preventing its inadvertent closure and allowing a frontal grip of the member to hinder with the help of one hand.

L'objet de l'invention est donc une menotte composée d'un premier demi-bracelet et d'un second demi-bracelet pouvant être refermés en position verrouillée autour d'un objet, notamment un membre d'un individu, et ouverts grâce à un moyen d'ouverture pouvant être déverrouillé au moyen d'une clé, et au moins un corps de menotte comprenant des moyens de verrouillage de la menotte. Le premier demi-bracelet est monté pivotant autour d'un axe situé dans le corps de menotte et peut être mis en mouvement autour de son axe de façon à permettre la préhension du membre à entraver. Les moyens de verrouillage comprennent un moyen de verrouillage de la menotte en position de fermeture comportant un moyen de détection de présence de membre monté pivotant autour d'un axe qui, sous la poussée du membre entravé, bloque le moyen d'ouverture et empêche la menotte de s'ouvrir. La menotte est caractérisée en ce les moyens de verrouillage comprennent en outre un moyen de verrouillage de la menotte en position d'ouverture comportant un cran de blocage monté pivotant autour d'un axe fixé au corps de menotte et le premier demi-bracelet comporte une encoche dans laquelle pénètre le cran de blocage en s'opposant à un ressort de rappel, ce qui permet de verrouiller le premier demi-bracelet et de maintenir la menotte en position ouverte empêchant ainsi sa fermeture intempestive et permettant une préhension frontale du membre à entraver.The object of the invention is therefore a handcuff composed of a first half-bracelet and a second half-bracelet that can be closed in the locked position around an object, in particular a member of an individual, and opened thanks to an opening means that can be unlocked by means of a key, and at least one handcuff body including means for locking the handcuff. The first half-bracelet is pivotally mounted about an axis located in the handcuff body and can be moved about its axis so as to allow the grip of the limb to hinder. The locking means comprise a locking means of the handcuff in the closed position comprising a member presence detection means pivotally mounted about an axis which, under the pressure of the hamper member, blocks the opening means and prevents the handcuffed to open. The handcuff is characterized in that the locking means further comprises a locking means of the handcuff in the open position comprising a locking notch pivotally mounted about an axis fixed to the handcuff body and the first half-bracelet comprises a notch into which the locking catch penetrates against a return spring, thereby locking the first half-bracelet and maintaining the handcuffed in the open position thus preventing its inadvertent closure and allowing a frontal grip of the limb to hinder.

Description détaillée de l'inventionDetailed description of the invention

En référence à la figure 1, la menotte selon un premier mode de réalisation comporte une partie 1 constituant le corps de la menotte. Une des extrémités du corps de menotte se prolonge selon un second demi-bracelet 11. A noter que le second demi-bracelet peut être solidaire ou non du corps de menotte.With reference to the figure 1 , the handcuff according to a first embodiment comprises a portion 1 constituting the body of the handcuff. One end of the handcuff body is extended according to a second half-bracelet 11. Note that the second half-bracelet may be secured or not the body of handcuffs.

De préférence, le corps de la menotte est composé de deux pièces quasiment identiques séparées l'une de l'autre mais entre lesquelles est logé le mécanisme de fermeture et de verrouillage-déverrouillage de la menotte. Une pièce mobile d'entrave 2 est située entre les deux pièces du corps de menotte 1. Cette pièce en forme de S est montée pivotante autour d'un axe 100 situé dans la zone centrale de la pièce et fixé au corps de menotte 1. L'intérieur incurvé de la partie inférieure 21 de la pièce mobile d'entrave forme le premier demi-bracelet 21 de la menotte.Preferably, the body of the handcuff is composed of two almost identical parts separated from each other but between which is housed the closing mechanism and locking-unlocking the handcuff. A movable piece of hindrance 2 is located between the two parts of the handcuff body 1. This S-shaped piece is pivotally mounted about an axis 100 situated in the central zone of the piece and fixed to the handcuff body 1. The curved interior of the party lower 21 of the movable piece of obstruction forms the first half-bracelet 21 of the handcuff.

La partie supérieure de la pièce mobile d'entrave est montée coulissante dans un logement du corps de menotte ou gorge de maintien 8 et est maintenue à l'intérieur du corps de menotte grâce à un ressort de rappel 200. Dans sa partie supérieure, la pièce mobile d'entrave 2 est superposée à une pédale de débrayage 3 également montée pivotante autour de l'axe 100. La pédale de débrayage est placée de telle façon qu'elle se superpose en dépassant de l'extérieur incurvé de la partie supérieure de la pièce mobile d'entrave. La pièce mobile d'entrave comporte également une denture inclinée 22 autour d'une partie du centre de la pièce donc à proximité de l'axe 100. La denture 22 de la pièce mobile d'entrave coopère avec la denture 41 d'un levier d'ouverture 4 monté pivotant autour d'un axe 101 fixé à la carcasse. La denture du levier d'ouverture est maintenue contre la denture 22 de la pièce mobile d'entrave grâce à un ressort 201 de sorte que tant que les deux dentures sont en prise ensemble le premier demi-bracelet ne peut tourner autour de l'axe 100, que dans le sens qui le rapproche du premier demi-bracelet 11, donc dans le sens de fermeture de la menotte. Pour désengager les deux dentures 22 et 41 et ainsi permettre à la pièce mobile d'entrave de tourner autour de l'axe 100 dans le sens qui l'éloigne du premier demi-bracelet, donc dans le sens d'ouverture de la menotte, le levier d'ouverture 4, doit tourner en s'opposant au ressort de rappel 201.The upper part of the mobile obstacle part is slidably mounted in a housing of the handcuff body or holding groove 8 and is held inside the handcuff body by means of a return spring 200. In its upper part, the movable piece of obstruction 2 is superimposed on a clutch pedal 3 also pivotally mounted about the axis 100. The clutch pedal is placed so that it is superimposed protruding from the curved outside of the upper part of the moving piece of hindrance. The movable obstacle piece also has an inclined toothing 22 around a part of the center of the part so close to the axis 100. The toothing 22 of the movable obstacle part cooperates with the toothing 41 of a lever opening 4 pivotally mounted about an axis 101 fixed to the carcass. The toothing of the opening lever is held against the toothing 22 of the movable piece of obstruction thanks to a spring 201 so that as long as the two sets of teeth are engaged together the first half-bracelet can not rotate around the axis 100, that in the sense that brings it closer to the first half-bracelet 11, so in the closing direction of the handcuff. To disengage the two toothing 22 and 41 and thus allow the movable piece of obstruction to rotate about the axis 100 in the direction that away from the first half-bracelet, so in the opening direction of the handcuff, the opening lever 4 must rotate by opposing the return spring 201.

La pièce d'entraînement d'ouverture 5 est agencée et adaptée pour que, lorsqu'elle est poussée contre l'action d'un ressort de rappel 202 grâce à une commande manuelle 52, elle entraîne le levier 4 qui pivote autour de son axe 101. Cette action a pour effet de désengager les dentures inclinées en opposition de la pièce mobile d'entrave 2 et du levier d'ouverture 4. La pièce mobile d'entrave 2 n'étant plus bloquée par le levier d'ouverture 4, elle est contrainte, par le ressort 200 à un déplacement circulaire autour de l'axe 100 dans le sens d'ouverture de la menotte. La menotte est ainsi prête à être utilisée. La commande manuelle 52 est une partie de la pièce d'entraînement et se situe à l'extérieur du corps de menotte 1 de façon à être facilement manipulable par l'utilisateur.The opening drive part 5 is arranged and adapted so that, when pushed against the action of a return spring 202 by means of a manual control 52, it drives the lever 4 which pivots about its axis. 101. This action has the effect of disengaging the inclined teeth in opposition to the movable piece of hindrance 2 and the opening lever 4. The movable piece of obstruction 2 is no longer blocked by the opening lever 4, it is constrained by the spring 200 to a circular movement about the axis 100 in the opening direction of the handcuff. The handcuff is thus ready for use. The hand control 52 is a part of the drive part and is located outside the handcuff body 1 so as to be easily manipulated by the user.

Lorsque la menotte est ouverte à son maximum, le cran de blocage 6 monté pivotant autour d'un axe 103 fixé au corps de menotte pénètre dans l'encoche 23 de la pièce mobile d'entrave 2 prévue à cet effet. Le cran de blocage 6 est maintenu dans cette position grâce un ressort de rappel 203. Cette interaction a pour effet d'empêcher toute fermeture intempestive de la menotte lorsqu'elle est en position ouverte, surtout quand on essaye de l'intercaler entre le membre et une surface.When the handcuff is open to its maximum, the locking notch 6 pivoted about an axis 103 attached to the handcuff body enters the notch 23 of the movable piece of hindrance 2 provided for this purpose. The locking catch 6 is held in this position by a return spring 203. This interaction has the effect of preventing inadvertent closure of the handcuff when it is in the open position, especially when we try to insert it between the member and a surface.

Une fois ouverte, la menotte est prête à être mise en place. Pour cela, l'utilisateur qui tient la menotte dans une main, la dirige vers le membre à entraver de façon à ce que le membre passe entre une roulette 12 et l'extrémité de la pièce mobile d'entrave 2. La roulette 12 peut tourner librement autour d'un axe 102 fixé à l'extrémité du second demi-bracelet 11. En roulant sur le membre à entraver pendant la mise en place de la menotte, la roulette 12 évite au second demi-bracelet de s'accrocher à la peau à un vêtement ou autre.Once opened, the handcuff is ready to be put in place. For this, the user who holds the handcuff in one hand, directs it to the limb to hobble so that the member passes between a wheel 12 and the end of the movable piece of hindrance 2. The wheel 12 can turn freely about an axis 102 attached to the end of the second half-bracelet 11. By rolling on the member to hinder during the introduction of the handcuff, the roulette 12 avoids the second half-bracelet to hang on to skin to a garment or whatever.

A noter que la structure qui vient d'être décrite, en permettant à la menotte une préhension frontale du membre à entraver, est une caractéristique essentielle de l'invention.Note that the structure that has just been described, allowing the handcuff a frontal grip of the limb to hinder, is an essential feature of the invention.

La poussée exercée par l'utilisateur contre le membre à entraver déplace la pédale de débrayage 3 qui vient en appui contre l'ergot 61 du cran de blocage 6. Cet appui fait tourner le cran de blocage 6 autour de son axe 103 dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre en s'opposant au ressort de rappel 203 et libère la pièce mobile d'entrave 2. Tant que l'utilisateur continue d'exercer sa pression sur le membre à entraver, la pièce mobile d'entrave 2 se met à tourner également en s'opposant au ressort 200 de sorte que le premier demi-bracelet 21 se referme sur le membre à entraver. Toute tentative de réouverture de la menotte est alors empêchée par la denture 22 de la pièce mobile d'entrave 2 en prise avec la denture inversée du levier d'ouverture 4. La poussée de l'utilisateur ferme petit à petit la menotte sur le membre à entraver jusqu'à ce que le premier demi-bracelet soit ajusté correctement autour du membre, serré mais sans le blesser. Le membre entravé vient alors pousser sur le palpeur de présence de membre 7. Sous l'effet de cette poussée, celui-ci tourne autour de l'axe 104 fixé au corps de menotte 1 en s'opposant au ressort de rappel 204 jusqu'à ce que l'ergot 71 de blocage du palpeur de présence de membre soit en prise avec l'ergot de blocage 51 de la pièce d'entraînement d'ouverture 5. Ce système constitue les moyens de verrouillage de la menotte autour du membre entravé.The thrust exerted by the user against the member to hobble moves the clutch pedal 3 which bears against the lug 61 of the locking catch 6. This support rotates the locking lug 6 about its axis 103 in the direction clockwise by opposing the return spring 203 and releases the movable piece of obstruction 2. As long as the user continues to exert its pressure on the limb to be hindered, the movable piece of hindrance 2 also begins to rotate by opposing the spring 200 so that the first half-bracelet 21 closes on the limb to be hindered. Any attempt to reopen the handcuff is then prevented by the toothing 22 of the movable piece of hindrance 2 in engagement with the inverted toothing of the opening lever 4. The thrust of the user gradually closes the handcuff on the member to hobble until the first half-bracelet is properly adjusted around the limb, tight but without hurting it. The hobbled limb then pushes on the sensor member presence 7. Under the effect of this thrust, it rotates about the axis 104 attached to the handcuff body 1 by opposing the return spring 204 until that the lug 71 of the limb presence sensor is in engagement with the locking lug 51 of the opening driving part 5. This system constitutes the locking means of the handcuff around the hobbled limb .

En position fermée, le premier demi-bracelet se superpose au second demi-bracelet de façon à ce que leurs extrémités se croisent. De préférence, l'extrémité du second demi-bracelet étant composée de 2 pièces séparées, en position fermée, le premier demi-bracelet se loge dans l'espace entre les 2 pièces.In the closed position, the first half-bracelet is superimposed on the second half-bracelet so that their ends intersect. Preferably, the end of the second half-bracelet being composed of two separate parts, in the closed position, the first half-bracelet is housed in the space between the two parts.

La figure 2 donne une représentation schématique des pièces de la menotte dans sa position fermée autour d'un membre à entraver. Le membre à entraver n'est pas représenté sur la figure. Dans cette position fermée autour d'un membre, la menotte ne peut pas être ouverte grâce à l'action de poussée sur la commande 52 de la pièce d'entraînement 5 comme dans le cas d'ouverture de la menotte à vide. Pour ouvrir la menotte, l'utilisateur doit alors utiliser une clef, l'introduire dans la serrure 9 prévue à cet effet et tourner la clef d'un quart de tour dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre. En tournant, la clef exerce une pression sur le levier d'ouverture 4 en s'opposant au ressort de rappel 201. Cette action a pour effet de désengager les dentures inclinées en opposition de la pièce mobile d'entrave 2 et du levier d'ouverture 4. La pièce mobile d'entrave 2 n'étant plus bloquée par le levier d'ouverture 4, elle est contrainte par le ressort 200, à un déplacement circulaire autour de l'axe 100 dans le sens d'ouverture de la menotte. Le membre est ainsi libéré.The figure 2 gives a schematic representation of the pieces of the handcuff in its closed position around a member to obstruct. The limb to be hindered is not shown in the figure. In this closed position around a limb, the handcuff can not be opened by the pushing action on the control 52 of the driving part 5 as in the case of opening the handcuffed vacuum. To open the handcuff, the user must then use a key, introduce it into the lock 9 provided for this purpose and turn the key a quarter of a turn in the direction of the needles of a shows. By turning, the key exerts a pressure on the opening lever 4 by opposing the return spring 201. This action has the effect of disengaging the inclined teeth in opposition to the movable piece of hindrance 2 and the lever of opening 4. The movable obstacle piece 2 is no longer blocked by the opening lever 4, it is constrained by the spring 200 to a circular displacement around the axis 100 in the opening direction of the handcuff . The member is thus released.

La menotte selon l'invention peut être réalisée selon un deuxième mode de réalisation qui ne comprend pas de pédale de débrayage 3 ni de ressort de rappel 200. Selon cette variante, une commande de fermeture actionnée par l'index de l'utilisateur comme représenté sur la figure 3 est nécessaire pour empêcher la fermeture intempestive de la menotte. A noter que, selon une variante de ce mode de réalisation, la menotte ne comporte que le levier d'ouverture 4 avec sa denture 41 et son ressort 201, ainsi que la serrure 9.The handcuff according to the invention can be made according to a second embodiment which does not include a clutch pedal 3 or a return spring 200. According to this variant, a closing command actuated by the user's index as shown on the figure 3 is necessary to prevent the inadvertent closure of the handcuff. Note that, according to a variant of this embodiment, the handcuff comprises only the opening lever 4 with its toothing 41 and its spring 201, and the lock 9.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, le corps de menotte peut être prolongé à son autre extrémité par une poignée 13 représentée sur la figure 4. Les caractéristiques principales de cette menotte sont identiques à celles de la menotte selon le mode de réalisation préféré décrit ci avant. Sur la figure, la menotte est dans sa position fermée et inutilisée. Les deux demi-bracelets 11 et 21 croisés forme le bracelet de la menotte et on distingue par l'ouverture entre les deux la pédale de débrayage 3 escamotée dans le corps de la menotte et le palpeur de présence de membre 7 qui lui n'est pas dans sa position escamotée étant donné qu'il n'y a pas de membre enserré dans la menotte. La poignée 13 peut être déportée à la façon d'un manche afin d'entraver à distance un membre d'individu ou même une patte d'un animal, par exemple par mesure de sécurité.According to another embodiment, the handcuff body may be extended at its other end by a handle 13 represented on the figure 4 . The main features of this handcuff are identical to those of the handcuff according to the preferred embodiment described above. In the figure, the handcuff is in its closed and unused position. The two crossed half-bracelets 11 and 21 form the wristband of the handcuff and there is an opening between the two clutch pedal 3 retracted into the body of the handcuff and the feeler of the limb presence 7 which is not not in its retracted position since there is no limb enclosed in the handcuff. The handle 13 may be deported in the manner of a handle to remotely impede an individual member or even a leg of an animal, for example for security.

Le corps de menotte 1 peut également être prolongé par une autre menotte de façon à pouvoir entraver deux membres d'une personne ou bien pour accrocher la menotte à un objet fixe. Les deux menottes peuvent être couplées ensemble par des moyens de liaison rigides ou articulés tels qu'une liaison pivotante autour d'un axe, une chaînette, etc. La figure 3 représente un exemple de réalisation de menottes reliées ensemble de façon rigide. La seconde menotte couplée à la première peut être identique ou bien peut être une menotte d'un autre type telle qu'une menotte selon l'état de la technique.The handcuff body 1 may also be extended by another handcuff so as to be able to obstruct two limbs of a person or to hang the handcuff on a fixed object. The two handcuffs can be coupled together by rigid or articulated connection means such as a pivoting connection about an axis, a chain, etc. The figure 3 represents an embodiment of handcuffs rigidly connected together. The second handcuff coupled to the first may be the same or may be a handcuff of another type such as a handcuff according to the state of the art.

La menotte selon l'invention est réalisée en alliage de métaux ou d'aluminium ou bien en matière plastique ou synthétique.The handcuff according to the invention is made of metal alloy or aluminum or plastic or synthetic material.

La menotte selon l'invention a l'avantage de pouvoir être utilisée même si le membre à entraver est situé contre une surface ou n'est pas écarté du corps. De plus, sa mise en place n'oblige pas l'utilisateur à se servir de sa seconde main pour fermer le premier demi-bracelet autour du membre à entraver.The handcuff according to the invention has the advantage of being used even if the limb to be hindered is located against a surface or is not removed from the body. In addition, its implementation does not require the user to use his second hand to close the first half-bracelet around the member to hinder.
