Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of police equipment technology, specifically relating to a waist and hand restraint device. Background Technology

[0002] Police equipment used to restrain criminals and suspects includes handcuffs, leg irons, and hoods. Handcuffs, which restrain the wrists of both hands, fixing them in front of or behind the body, can limit their mobility, reduce the possibility of escape, and ensure that law enforcement officers can smoothly remove the suspect from the scene for further processing. However, handcuffs also have the following drawbacks:

[0003] 1. Although the range of motion of the hands is restricted, the simultaneous movement of both arms in the same direction is not restricted. Criminals can still swing their arms, so the restriction on the arms is minimal.

[0004] 2. The lack of restriction on the movement of the palms and fingers means that even after being handcuffed, the suspect's fingers can still move automatically, posing a significant safety hazard.

[0005] 3. Handcuffs are inconvenient to carry on high-speed trains and airplanes during operations. Furthermore, there is a risk of loss. Therefore, there is a need for a portable police auxiliary device that also functions as handcuffs.

[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, patent number ZL201620579294.2 discloses a chain-link safety harness for handcuffs, connecting the handcuffs to a belt to restrict arm movement, aiming to eliminate the risk of suspects attacking with their arms or hands. However, this patent still does not solve the problem of finger and palm movement; therefore, there is currently a lack of police equipment that can effectively restrain the hands, arms, and fingers of both criminals and suspects simultaneously. Utility Model Content

[0007] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a waist and hand restraint device, including a waist belt with its two ends detachably connected by buckles; a restraint tube connected to the waist belt, the upper end of which is open and has multiple restraint straps extending upwards, all of which are distributed circumferentially along the opening; and a tightening strap, which is connected to the upper part of each of the restraint straps, thereby tightening the tightening straps to bring the upper edges of all the restraint straps together towards the center.

[0008] The beneficial effects of the waist and hand restraint device in this utility model are as follows:

[0009] 1. The belt is fastened to the suspect's waist with buckles. The suspect's hands are placed into the restraint tube, and then the tightening straps are pulled together, causing the upper part of all the restraint straps to converge at the wrists. The restraint tube is confined to the belt, thus restricting the suspect's hand movement.

[0010] 2. The restraint cylinder itself has a certain strength and can be elastically deformed. Fingers can move inside the restraint cylinder, but cannot extend out of the restraint cylinder, thus restricting the fingers and making it impossible to perform actions such as grasping, clamping, and holding.

[0011] 3. Carrying a waist and hand restraint device on public transportation does not require reporting, and there is no safety hazard if it is accidentally lost. It is also convenient to carry.

[0012] The preferred embodiment of this invention is that the restraint cylinder has ventilation holes in its wall and is made of a transparent material. For example, a material such as polypropylene or polyethylene with a certain thickness can be used, which allows for elastic deformation while possessing sufficient strength to prevent tearing by fingers and provides strong restraint. In summer, the ventilation holes allow heat from the hands to dissipate quickly, reducing discomfort such as sweaty and stuffy hands.

[0013] The preferred embodiment of this utility model is as follows: each restraint strap has a through hole at its upper part for the tightening strap to pass through, and all the restraint straps are evenly distributed in the opening of the restraint cylinder, thus forming a gap between each pair of adjacent restraint straps. The two ends of the tightening strap are detachably connected by a connector, and the tightening strap is fixedly connected to the connecting strap. The connector is located in one of the gaps, and the tightening strap is locked by the connector when tightened, reducing the diameter of the restraint cylinder and resulting in strong restraint force.

[0014] The preferred embodiment of this utility model is as follows: Two restraint cylinders are provided, each with its outer surface connected to a belt via a connecting strap. The upper end of each connecting strap is fitted onto the belt, and both straps can slide along the belt. The two restraint cylinders respectively restrain the suspect's two hands. The specific position of the restraint cylinders can be adjusted to restrain the hands in front, behind, or to the side, depending on the needs. The lower end of each connecting strap extends downwards beyond the corresponding restraint cylinder. The lower ends of the two connecting straps are respectively provided with positioning straps for binding the legs, or the lower ends of the two connecting straps are connected to the same positioning strap bound to the legs. The connecting straps and positioning straps are fixedly connected. When the positioning straps are tightly bound to the legs, the position of each restraint cylinder is restricted, further reducing the range of hand movement and strengthening the restraint effect.

[0015] The preferred embodiment of this utility model is as follows: the belt has at least one car seat restraint strap, and the lower end of the car seat restraint strap has a hook. In addition, the belt has at least one handle, one end of which has a pointed cone with a ball. If long-distance escort is required, after the suspect sits in the car seat, the hook is attached to the nylon or polyester strap between the car seat and the seatbelt buckle, restricting the suspect's range of movement in the car seat. The handle is held by the escorting police officer. If the suspect resists or attempts to escape, the officer can pry the handle outwards to a horizontal position, so that the pointed cone with the ball faces inwards towards the belt. The ball presses against the suspect's body, weakening the suspect's ability to resist, while the ball will not cause harm to the suspect. Attached Figure Description

[0020] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the inventor of this utility model has, through long-term research and extensive practice, proposed the technical solution of this utility model. The following will further explain and illustrate the technical solution, its implementation process, and its principles in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation examples.

[0021] like Figure 1As shown, Embodiment 1 provides a waist and hand restraint device, including a waist belt 1, a restraint cylinder 2, and a tightening strap 3. The two ends of the waist belt 1 are detachably connected by buckles 4, allowing adjustment of the belt's length. The buckles 4 can be nylon combination buckles, metal D-ring buckles, etc., and this embodiment is not limited to these. The restraint cylinder 2 in this embodiment has an opening at its upper end, and its wall has ventilation holes 5. The restraint cylinder 2 is made of a transparent material; the wall refers to either the side wall or the bottom wall, or ventilation holes 5 can be provided on both the side wall and the bottom wall. The purpose of making the restraint cylinder 2 transparent is to ensure that the detainee's hands never leave the escorting police officer's line of sight, preventing the detainee from concealing or clutching anything that could pose a threat. The restraint cylinder 2 is cylindrical to allow for greater hand movement within it. If further restriction of the detainee's finger movement is required, the cylinder shape is not limited to a cylinder; it can also be a square or flat cylinder. The bottom end of the restraint cylinder 2 is not limited to a circular, square, or flat cross-section; the two sides of the bottom end can also be welded together to form an arc shape, further compressing the finger movement space and providing stronger restraint. The vent 5 can be located on the side wall or the bottom wall of the restraint cylinder 2; this embodiment is not limited. The restraint cylinder 2 is made of polypropylene, polyethylene, or similar materials with a certain thickness, allowing for elastic deformation while maintaining sufficient strength to prevent finger tearing and providing strong restraint. In summer, the vent 5 allows heat from the hands to dissipate quickly, reducing discomfort such as sweaty and stuffy hands.

[0022] In this embodiment, the constraint cylinder 2 is connected to the belt 1. The upper end of the constraint cylinder 2 is open, and six constraint straps 6 extend upward from the opening. All constraint straps 6 are distributed circumferentially along the opening. Specifically, each constraint strap 6 has a through hole 7 at its upper part for the tightening strap 3 to pass through. The tightening strap 3 is connected to the upper part of all constraint straps 6. By tightening the tightening strap 3, the upper edges of all constraint straps 6 are brought together towards the center. The purpose of this gathering is not only to adapt to changes in the cross-sectional size of the constraint cylinder 2 and the tightening strap 3, but also to prevent items from falling into the cylinder. All constraint straps 6 are evenly distributed in the opening of the constraint cylinder 2, thus forming a gap 8 between each pair of adjacent constraint straps 6. A rounded corner 9 is provided between the gap 8 and the constraint cylinder 2. The rounded corner 9 makes the stress distribution between the constraint cylinder 2 and the constraint straps 6 more uniform, preventing the constraint straps 6 from being easily torn. The two ends of the tightening band 3 are detachably connected via connector 10, and the tightening band 3 is fixedly connected to the connecting band 12. Connector 10 is located at one of the slots 8. The tightening band 3 is tightened by connector 10, reducing the diameter of the constraint cylinder 2 and providing strong constraint force. Here, connector 10 is a bolt, which is fixed to one end of the tightening band 3 with the bolt thread facing outward. The other end of the tightening band 3 has three locking holes 11 that match the bolt thread. The locking holes 11 are evenly spaced along the length of the tightening band 3. After selecting a suitable locking hole 11, the bolt is passed through the locking hole 11, and finally, the nut with a soft rubber cap is screwed on to lock it, completing the tension adjustment of the tightening band 3. Connector 10 can also be a D-ring or a lock (with or without a combination). In addition, the tightening band 3 in this embodiment can be replaced by a thin steel strip, chain, steel wire rope, etc. The specific type of tightening band 3 is not limited in this embodiment.

[0023] In this embodiment, there are two restraint cylinders 2. The outer surface of each restraint cylinder 2 is connected to the waist belt 1 via a connecting strap 12. The connecting strap 12 is longitudinally fixed to the outside of the restraint cylinder 2, strengthening the connection structure between the restraint cylinder 2 and the connecting strap 12. The upper end of each connecting strap 12 is fitted onto the waist belt 1, and the connecting strap 12 can slide along the waist belt 1. The two restraint cylinders 2 restrain the suspect's two hands respectively. The specific position of the restraint cylinders 2 can be adjusted to restrain the hands in front, behind, or to the side, depending on the needs. The lower end of each connecting strap 12 extends downward and beyond the corresponding restraint cylinder 2. The lower ends of the two connecting straps 12 are respectively provided with positioning straps 13 that are tied to the legs, or the lower ends of the two connecting straps 12 are connected to the same positioning strap 13 that is tied to the legs. The connecting straps 12 and the positioning straps 13 are fixedly connected. When the positioning straps 13 are tightly tied to the legs, the position of each restraint cylinder 2 is restricted, further reducing the range of hand movement and strengthening the restraint.

[0024] In addition, such as Figure 2As shown, the waist belt 1 in this embodiment has two car seat restraint straps 14 and two handles 16. The lower end of the car seat restraint straps 14 has a hook 15. For escort purposes requiring sufficient length, after the suspect sits in the car seat, the hook 15 is attached to the nylon or polyester strap between the car seat and the seat belt buckle, restricting the suspect's range of movement in the car seat. Each handle 16 has a pointed cone 17 with a ball at its lower end. The handle 16 is held by the escorting police officer. If the suspect resists or attempts to escape, the officer can pry the handle 16 outwards to a horizontal position, so that the pointed cone 17 faces inwards towards the waist belt 1, pressing against the suspect's body and weakening their ability to resist. To prevent the pointed cone 17 from injuring the suspect, the end of the pointed cone 17 has a rounded corner or a ball.

[0025] In this embodiment, the belt 1 is fastened to the suspect's waist via buckles 4. The suspect's hands are inserted into the restraint cylinders 2, and then the tightening straps 3 are pulled together, causing the upper parts of all the restraint straps 6 to converge at the wrists. The restraint cylinders 2 are confined to the belt 1, thus restricting the suspect's hand movement. The two restraint cylinders 2 function similarly to handcuffs, but they can restrain not only the wrists but also the arms at the belt 1. The fingers and palms are confined within the restraint cylinders 2, preventing actions such as grasping, clamping, or grabbing, thus providing a higher level of security.

[0026] It should be understood that the above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. It should not be considered that the specific implementation of this utility model is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
