Benefits of technology

The present invention is a device that limits the movement of individuals or objects using restraints. It attaches to a stationary surface using straps and has a loop material to attach to an elastic vest. The vest has hook material on the back to securely hold the individual or object in place. The device allows for easy lifting and detachment from the stationary surface without being uncomfortable. The technical effect of the invention is an improved stability and secure positioning of individuals or objects without physical restraints.

Problems solved by technology

The device uses an adhesive material to attach the individual or object to a stationary object thus limiting the mobility while maintaining it orientation.

Embodiment Construction

[0025]It is understood that the figures and description of the present invention may have been simplified to illustrate the elements that are relevant to a clear understanding of the present invention, while eliminating, for purposes of clarity, other elements found in other mobility limiting systems. Those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that other elements may be desirable and / or required in order to implement the present invention. However, because such elements are well known in the art, and because they do not facilitate a better understanding of the present invention, a discussion of such elements is not provided herein. It is also to be understood that the drawings included herewith only provide a diagrammatic representation of the presently preferred structures of the present invention and that structures falling with the scope of the present invention may include structures different from those shown in the drawing. References will now be made to the drawings wh...

Abstract

A mobility limiting system is provided which maintains the position of an individual or object. This device comprises a pad attached to a support surface and a vest worn by an individual or affixed to an object. The pad front and vest back are comprised of hook and loop material which bind to each other and secure the individual or object in place. The pad is secured to a support surface using straps. The vest closed with hook and loop will hold in a semi-fixed position until a purposeful movement releases the hold. The device uses an adhesive material to attach the individual or object to a stationary object thus limiting the mobility while maintaining it orientation. The device may also use tabs in place of the vest front panels which fold over the shoulders and around the torso to secure the individual or object similar to a vest.
