Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Escorting a suspect is a law enforcement process in which police officers, under legal and compliant restraints, transfer a suspect from one location to another. Escorting is, to some extent, also a form of transport, and this procedure is not limited to public security organs but also involves courts and procuratorates. During escorting, it is necessary to restrict the suspect's ability to move, for example, by using handcuffs, hoods, and leg irons. However, these standard police devices are used independently, and their function is only to restrain corresponding parts of the suspect. For example, the hands, head, and legs may be restricted, but the suspect's entire torso remains unrestricted, still allowing for free movement and the possibility of extreme behavior, such as assaulting police officers, jumping out of vehicles, escaping, or swallowing objects, especially for suspects who are highly emotionally unstable.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, the existing patent ZL201620579294.2, "A Chain Application Safety Wear for Handcuffs," connects the handcuffs to a belt, linking the hand to the waist to restrict hand movement, thereby eliminating the risk of suspects using their hands or arms to attack others or harm themselves. Furthermore, the belt in this patent features a soft woven loop as a grip for the police officer, allowing them to control the suspect during escort. A locking latch corresponding to the buckle on the rear seat is also designed on the belt; by connecting the buckle and the locking latch, the suspect can be secured to the back seat of the police vehicle.

[0004] However, the woven, loop-shaped "grip" in the aforementioned patent presents a safety hazard: the grip is soft, and once the hand passes through it, it can only exert force by grabbing, pulling, or dragging, but not by pushing. The danger lies in the fact that if the suspect is strong and taller than the police officer, and resists fiercely, the officer's hand will be tightly constricted by the grip. In this situation, if the suspect falls to the ground, rolls, or struggles even harder, the officer is highly likely to suffer injuries such as wrist and arm lacerations, dislocations, or fractures, thus weakening their combat effectiveness, making it difficult to control the suspect, and potentially leading to an escort accident.

[0005] Furthermore, the aforementioned locking latch also has shortcomings: because different car brands have different latch models, the belt needs to be equipped with the same type of locking latch to be usable. Moreover, while the suspect's hands are handcuffed behind their back, their fingers are still mobile during transport. With the handcuffs behind their backs, the positions of the locking latches on both sides correspond to the range of motion of the suspect's two hands. The suspect can press the switch on the latch to release the locking latch without the police noticing, thus losing its restraining effect and posing a significant security risk. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a waist restraint device, including a deformable waist belt and a rigid handle. The two ends of the waist belt are detachably connected by a combination buckle. The rigid handle is connected to the waist belt and has a smooth rounded end. By rotating the rigid handle, the smooth rounded end is driven to swing, thereby causing the smooth rounded end to face the inside of the waist belt.

[0007] The beneficial effects of the lumbar restraint device of this utility model are as follows:

[0008] 1. Compared to flexible handles, rigid handles can achieve not only the dragging and pulling force of flexible handles, but also pushing force, providing more force application methods and making them more convenient to use.

[0009] 2. Using the belt as a support point, the rigid handle can be lifted or pressed down, so that the smooth, rounded end faces the suspect, thereby reducing the suspect's ability to move by pressing or pushing against them. Compared with the existing flexible handles, this adds control over the suspect.

[0010] 3. Because the rigid handle will not deform, it effectively avoids the problem of the rigid handle getting tangled in the police officer's hand or arm, thus improving the protection of the police officer.

[0011] The preferred technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a rotatable connecting post is provided on the side of the rigid handle, and the connecting post is connected to the belt. Specifically, the connecting post is installed with a mounting hole in the middle for the belt to pass through, and a bolt is provided on the side of the connecting post. The bolt passes through the mounting hole and the belt and is tightened. The connecting post and the belt cannot slide relative to each other, but the rigid handle can rotate. If the suspect falls or rolls on the ground, the rigid handle rotates to prevent injury to the officer's arm while maintaining restraint. The rigid handle and the smooth, rounded end are located at opposite ends of the connecting post. The rigid handle can be installed facing upwards or downwards, depending on the officer's convenience in gripping it. To enhance control over the suspect, two rigid handles are provided, positioned opposite each other on the belt. Typically, the suspect is controlled by two officers, with the two rigid handles positioned on the suspect's left and right sides for easy gripping by both officers.

[0012] The preferred technical solution of this utility model is as follows: the waist belt is provided with a seat restraint strap, and the seat restraint strap is provided with a combination buckle. One end of the seat restraint strap is looped onto the waist belt, allowing the seat restraint strap to slide along the waist belt. The seat restraint strap is folded back to form a loop structure, through which the waist belt passes, and the seat restraint strap can slide along the waist belt to adjust its specific position. The other end of the seat restraint strap is folded to form at least two layers, and the folded part has two through holes. The combination buckle passes through the two through holes and connects to the seat restraint strap. The opening of the combination buckle is located on its long side, and the distance between the two through holes is adapted to the length of the short side of the combination buckle. The combination buckle is hooked onto the nylon strap of the car seat buckle. When the seat restraint strap is dragged, the seat restraint strap and the nylon strap of the buckle are tightened at the two short sides of the combination buckle, thereby avoiding stress on the long side of the combination buckle, that is, protecting the locking structure at the opening of the long side of the combination buckle. The combination hook can be directly attached to the nylon strap of the buckle without needing to match the specific model of the buckle, thus avoiding the problem of the belt latch not matching the seat buckle.

[0018] 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.

[0019] like Figure 1As shown, Embodiment 1 provides a waist restraint device, including a deformable waist belt 1 and a rigid handle 2. The waist belt 1 is made of nylon, polyester fiber, or other materials, as long as it meets the requirements of high strength and abrasion resistance; this embodiment does not impose any restrictions. The two ends of the waist belt 1 are detachably connected by a combination buckle 3. The combination buckle 3 includes a male buckle 4 and a female buckle 5 with a combination dial. After the male buckle 4 is inserted into the female buckle 5, the two can only be separated by rotating the combination dial to the correct combination.

[0020] In this embodiment, the rigid handle 2 is made of hard plastic, such as ABS plastic or engineering plastic. It is structurally rigid, does not deform, and is lightweight, making it convenient for police officers to carry. The rigid handle 2 has a rotatable connecting post 6 on its side. The connecting post 6 has a mounting hole 7 in its center for the belt 1 to pass through. A bolt or fixing pin is provided on the side of the connecting post 6. The bolt is tightened after passing through the mounting hole 7 and the belt 1. The connecting post 6 and the belt 1 cannot slide relative to each other, but the rigid handle 2 can rotate. If the suspect falls or rolls on the ground, the rigid handle 2 rotates to prevent injury to the police officer's arm while maintaining restraint on the suspect.

[0021] During escort and transport, to improve control over the suspect seated in the police car, the waist belt 1 in this embodiment is equipped with a seat restraint strap 8, and the seat restraint strap 8 is equipped with a combination hook 9. The combination hook 9 has a combination dial structure, which requires the correct combination to open, similar to the existing combination D-type carabiner structure. The combination dial is located on one of the two long sides of the combination hook 9, while the other two sides are short sides. According to the structure of the combination hook 9, the two short sides are the optimal stress points, and the stress on the combination dial on the long sides is avoided as much as possible. One end of the seat restraint strap 8 is looped onto the waist belt 1, allowing the seat restraint strap 8 to slide along the waist belt 1. The seat restraint strap 8 is folded back to form a loop structure, through which the waist belt 1 can pass. Alternatively, a loop structure can be formed using a D-ring buckle. The seat restraint strap 8 can slide along the waist belt 1, and the D-ring buckle can increase the length adjustment function of the seat restraint strap 8, allowing the specific position of the seat restraint strap 8 on the waist belt 1 to be adjusted according to factors such as the suspect's weight and clothing.

[0022] like Figure 2As shown, the other end of the seat restraint strap 8 is folded into two layers, or more, and the folded part has two through holes 10. The combination hook 9 passes through the two through holes 10 and connects to the seat restraint strap 8. The distance between the two through holes 10 is adapted to the length of the short side of the combination hook 9. The combination hook 9 is hooked onto the nylon strap of the car seat buckle. When the seat restraint strap 8 is dragged, the seat restraint strap 8 and the nylon strap of the buckle are tightened at the two short sides of the combination hook 9, thereby avoiding stress on the long side of the combination hook 9, that is, protecting the locking structure at the opening of the long side of the combination hook 9. The combination hook 9 can be directly hooked onto the nylon strap of the buckle without needing to match the specific model of the buckle, thus avoiding the problem of the lumbar belt 1's locking tongue not matching the seat buckle.

[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, to control suspects who are physically strong or taller than the police officers, the rigid handle 2 in this embodiment has a smooth, rounded end 11. The rigid handle 2 and the smooth, rounded end 11 are located at opposite ends of the connecting post 6. The rigid handle 2 can be installed facing upwards or downwards, depending on the convenience of the police officer's grip. If the suspect resists or attempts to break free, the police officer can use the belt 1 as a support point, and the rigid handle 2 can be lifted upwards or pressed downwards. Since the height of the connecting post 6 exceeds the width of the belt 1, the smooth, rounded end protrudes slightly from the edge of the belt 1, allowing the smooth, rounded end 11 to face the suspect, thus achieving the effect of pressing or pushing against the suspect to weaken their ability to move and strengthening control over the suspect. In addition, there are two rigid handles 2, which are distributed opposite each other on the belt 1. Usually, the suspect is controlled by two police officers, and the two rigid handles 2 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the suspect for the convenience of two police officers to grip.

[0024] 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.
