Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] During the escort process, it is necessary to restrict the mobility of suspects and criminals, especially during long-distance transfers such as in police cars, airplanes, and trains, where different types of seats are needed to restrict the suspect's behavior.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, patents ZL201620579294.2 and ZL201821490006.1 disclose a chain-link safety harness for handcuffs and a police duty safety harness. These two patents design two male plugs that connect to the seatbelt buckle in a car, and are connected by a braided strap. This design is used to secure the suspect to the back seat, restricting their waist movement and facilitating transport by car or public transportation. However, the length of this connecting braided strap is fixed, while the height, width, and thickness of the seat backs on public transportation such as cars, trains, high-speed trains, and airplanes vary. The connecting braided strap wraps around the seat back and connects to the belt around the suspect's waist. The connecting braided strap is merely wrapped around the seat back and cannot be fixed to it. The tightness adjustment is also limited. Therefore, there is a lot of room for movement between the suspect's upper back and the seat back. The suspect can easily stand up from a sitting position and even turn left or right significantly. If the suspect is tall enough, there is also the possibility of freeing the connecting braided strap from its position around the seat back when standing up. Furthermore, it cannot be adjusted according to the suspect's body shape. Therefore, the restraint effect of this method, which only restricts the suspect's waist while sitting, is far from meeting the requirements of actual combat and has limited use.

[0004] Furthermore, the aforementioned patents only address waist control and do not cover the control of the head, shoulders, and upper body—areas crucial during escort. For the sake of confidentiality and more humane law enforcement, the use of hoods to cover the head during escorts will become increasingly common. Existing hoods are independent and prone to slipping or misalignment, failing to achieve the desired restraint and posing a risk of suspects tearing, biting, or swallowing them. The hoods are not linked to other accessories and must be kept separately by officers after removal, making them prone to loss. Moreover, during long-distance escorts, control of the suspect's shoulders and upper body (from the waist to the shoulders) in a seated position is paramount, as this part of the body is most vulnerable to attack. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a head and shoulder upper body restraint device, including a headgear, shoulder straps, and a seat fixing strap; the shoulder straps have two shoulder restraint straps, and the positions of the two shoulder restraint straps correspond one-to-one with the two shoulders of the human body; the headgear, shoulder straps, and seat fixing straps are fixedly connected, with the headgear located in front of the shoulder straps and seat fixing straps, and a gap located between the two shoulder restraints between the shoulder straps and the seat fixing straps; the two ends of each shoulder restraint strap and the two ends of the seat fixing straps are detachably connected by tightening buckles.

[0006] The beneficial effects of the head, shoulder, and upper body restraint device in this utility model are as follows:

[0007] 1. The shoulder straps are secured to the suspect's back shoulders via two shoulder restraint straps, while the hood is connected to the shoulder straps. This positioning of the hood significantly reduces the probability of it slipping or becoming misaligned, effectively addressing the suspect's privacy concerns. Simultaneously, the hood will not become tangled around the head, eliminating the risk of the suspect biting or tearing it.

[0008] 2. During escort, the police officer's hand can pass through the gap between the shoulder strap and the seat anchor strap from behind the suspect or criminal to grab the seat anchor strap. This escort method is not only secure, preventing escape, but also protects the police officer. Additionally, when the suspect or criminal needs to stand side-by-side, the seat anchor strap can act as a handle, making it even more suitable for this situation.

[0009] 3. After the suspect or criminal sits on a seat in a vehicle such as a train, high-speed rail, airplane, or car, the seat anchor straps are tightened to the seat back, binding the suspect's upper body to the seat. The seat anchor straps wrap around the seat and the tightness is adjusted by a buckle, allowing for adaptation to different seats and the suspect's body shape. The restraint effect is better than existing woven anchor straps.

[0010] 4. Once the shoulder straps are secured to the hood, there is no need to store the hood separately, reducing the risk of loss. Furthermore, the hood meets the needs of maintaining confidentiality during investigations and ensuring humane law enforcement throughout the legal process.

[0011] The preferred technical solution of this utility model is as follows: the hood is worn on the suspect's head from top to bottom, and a horizontal opening is provided on the front side of the hood. The hood material is usually cotton. After the suspect puts on the hood, they can pull up or down the opening at the front of the hood to expose their face, allowing for quick switching between face-revealing and face-concealing states, eliminating the hassle of removing the hood. In addition, the opening design of the hood means that suspects wearing glasses do not need to remove their glasses, which is very convenient. The full-head-covering design is even more humane for suspects with high blood pressure or cerebrovascular disease, and it also provides good warmth in winter.

[0012] The preferred technical solution of this utility model is as follows: the two fixed connection points of the front side of the seat fixing strap and the rear side of the shoulder strap are connected by sewing, and the outer side of the headgear is fixedly connected along the length of the front side of the shoulder strap, also by sewing, to ensure that they do not separate even when dragged. The two shoulder restraint straps are sewn between the headgear and the shoulder straps, preventing them from sliding. The middle of each shoulder restraint strap is connected to the shoulder strap, and the tightening buckle of the shoulder restraint strap is located at one end of the shoulder restraint strap. After the shoulder restraint straps are fixed by the shoulder straps, the two shoulder restraint straps are bound to the suspect's shoulders and tightened by the tightening buckle. After tightening, the tightening buckle is located exactly under the suspect's armpit, where blood vessels and acupoints are distributed, making it very sensitive and vulnerable. If the suspect resists, the police officer can tighten the shoulder straps or shoulder restraint straps, causing the tightening buckle to press against the armpit, making the suspect uncomfortable and weakening their ability to resist, thus providing good control. The two fixed connection points are respectively adjacent to the two shoulder restraint straps, thus creating a space between the two fixed connection points.

[0013] The preferred technical solution of this utility model is as follows: the two ends of the seat fixing strap extend beyond the two ends of the shoulder strap, and one end of the seat fixing strap is longer than the other; the tightening buckle of the seat fixing strap is located at the shorter end of the two ends of the seat fixing strap. If a suspect or criminal needs to use the restroom, the seat fixing strap can be removed from the seat, and the police can pull the longer end of the seat fixing strap from outside the restroom door, greatly reducing the probability of the suspect escaping while using the restroom. The seat fixing strap is also suitable for scenarios such as sending someone to the hospital for a physical examination and identifying the crime scene.

[0014] The preferred technical solution of this utility model is as follows: Two shoulder restraint straps are each equipped with a horizontal chest strap, one of which has a knurled D-ring buckle, and the other has an adjusting buckle. After the suspect's shoulders are longitudinally restrained by the two shoulder restraint straps, the gap between the two shoulder restraint straps is quickly tightened by using the knurled D-ring buckle. The suspect's chest is then laterally tightened. In this state, the suspect can only walk with a hunched posture; otherwise, the tightening buckles of the two shoulder restraint straps would press against the armpits. Walking with a hunched posture avoids the tightening buckles pressing against the armpits, making the suspect more comfortable. This achieves the effect of naturally pressing down the suspect's arms, preventing them from exerting force, and weakening their ability to resist.

[0015] The preferred technical solution of this utility model is that the rear side of the seat fixing strap is connected to a foldable storage bag. The specific structure of the storage bag is as follows: the storage bag is elongated, with one long side fixedly connected along the length of the seat fixing strap, and the folding direction of the storage bag is perpendicular to the seat fixing strap. Specifically, the storage bag is a multi-layered folding bag, which, when folded, resembles a strap and overlaps with the seat fixing strap to form a handle for the police officer's hand. Conversely, when unfolded, it can store the headgear, shoulder straps, and seat fixing strap together, making equipment storage extremely convenient and portable, greatly reducing the probability of losing police equipment.

[0023] 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.

[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 3As shown, Embodiment 1 provides a head and shoulder upper body restraint device, including a headgear 1, a storage bag 2, shoulder straps 3, and a seat fixing strap 4. Both the shoulder straps 3 and the seat fixing strap 4 are made of wear-resistant polyester fiber, but other wear-resistant materials can also be used; this embodiment is not limited to these materials. The headgear 1, shoulder straps 3, seat fixing strap 4, and storage bag 2 are sequentially sewn together from front to back. The storage bag 2 is elongated, with one long side fixed along the length of the seat fixing strap 4. The headgear 1 is located in front of the shoulder straps 3 and seat fixing strap 4, and a gap 5 is provided between the shoulder straps 3 and seat fixing strap 4, positioned between the two shoulder restraints. Specifically, the two fixing points of the front side of the seat fixing strap 4 and the rear side of the shoulder strap 3 are sewn together, and the outer side of the headgear 1 is also sewn together along the length of the front side of the shoulder strap 3. The hood 1, storage bag 2, shoulder strap 3, and seat anchorage strap 4 can be pulled without tearing or breaking, ensuring effective restraint and control of suspects or criminals in sudden situations. Furthermore, the storage bag 2 is folded perpendicular to the seat anchorage strap 4.

[0025] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the storage bag 2 is specifically a multi-layered folding bag, resembling a strap when folded. A zipper 12 for opening the bag 2 is located on the front (one long side). The back (the other long side) is fixedly connected to the seat anchor strap 4. The sides of the storage bag 2 have a retractable pleated structure. Inside the storage bag 2 are shoulder straps 13 and cable ties 14. When using the storage bag 2, the inner surface must be turned out, effectively using the outer surface to wrap other items. Then, the zipper 12 is closed, exposing the shoulder straps 13, allowing for carrying by hand, over the shoulder, or over the back. When not in use, the shoulder straps 13 are hidden inside the storage bag 2, and the cable ties 14 horizontally secure the bag 2 to prevent it from unfolding. Multiple cable ties 14 can be used, binding the folded storage bag 2 to the seat anchor strap 4 together for easy gripping by police officers. When using the storage bag 2, it overlaps with the seat fixing strap 4 to form a handle for the police officer's hand. Conversely, when unfolded, the headgear 1, shoulder straps 3, and seat fixing strap 4 can be stored together, making equipment storage extremely convenient and portable, greatly reducing the probability of police equipment being lost.

[0026] like Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the shoulder strap 3 has two shoulder restraint straps 6, and the positions of the two shoulder restraint straps 6 correspond one-to-one with the two shoulders of the human body. The two ends of each shoulder restraint strap 6 and the two ends of the seat fixing strap 4 are detachably connected by tightening buckles 7. The specific type of tightening buckles 7 in this embodiment is not limited, as long as it can achieve the function of tightening and easy disassembly. The two shoulder restraint straps 6 are sewn between the headgear 1 and the shoulder strap 3, and the shoulder restraint straps 6 cannot slide. The middle of each shoulder restraint strap 6 is connected to the shoulder strap 3, and the tightening buckle 7 of the shoulder restraint strap 6 is located at one end of the shoulder restraint strap 6. After the shoulder restraint straps 6 are fixed by the shoulder strap 3, the two shoulder restraint straps 6 are tied to the suspect's shoulders and tightened by the tightening buckle 7. After tightening, the tightening buckle 7 is located exactly under the suspect's armpit. The armpit has blood vessels and acupoints, and is very sensitive and fragile. If the suspect resists, the police officer can tighten the shoulder strap 3 or shoulder restraint strap 6, causing the tightening buckle 7 to press tightly against the armpit, making the suspect uncomfortable and weakening their ability to resist, thus providing good control. The two fixed connection points are adjacent to the two shoulder restraint straps 6, creating a gap 5 between them. Additionally, each of the two shoulder restraint straps 6 has a horizontal chest strap 8. One chest strap 8 has a knurled D-ring buckle 9, and the other has an adjusting buckle 10. The adjusting buckle 10 is a D-ring buckle, and the knurled D-ring buckle 9 is also a D-ring buckle, but it has a metal roller in the middle. One end of the chest strap 8 passes through the metal roller in the knurled D-ring buckle 9, and then tightening the end of the chest strap 8 will tighten it. The adjusting buckle 10 can fix the end of the chest strap 8, preventing it from coming loose. The metal roller of the knurled D-ring buckle 9 has high friction, preventing the chest strap 8 from loosening, and the knurled D-ring buckle 9 will not be deformed, making it durable. After the suspect's shoulders are vertically restrained by two shoulder restraint straps 6, the gap between the two shoulder restraint straps 6 is quickly tightened by the knurled D-ring buckle 9, and the suspect's chest area is tightened horizontally. In this state, the suspect can only walk with a hunched body. Otherwise, the tightening buckle 7 of the two shoulder restraint straps 6 will press against the armpits. Walking with a hunched body can avoid the tightening buckle 7 pressing against the armpits, making the suspect more comfortable. This achieves the effect of the suspect's arms naturally pressing down, making it impossible for them to exert force and weakening their ability to resist.

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the two ends of the seat fixing strap 4 extend beyond the two ends of the shoulder strap 3 respectively, and one end of the seat fixing strap 4 is longer than the other end; the tightening buckle 7 of the seat fixing strap 4 is located at the shorter end of the two ends of the seat fixing strap 4. If a suspect or criminal needs to use the restroom, the seat fixing strap 4 can be removed from the seat, and the police can pull the longer end of the seat fixing strap 4 from outside the restroom door, greatly reducing the probability of the suspect escaping while using the restroom. The seat fixing strap 4 is also suitable for scenarios such as sending someone to the hospital for a physical examination and identifying the crime scene.

[0028] like Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, the head and shoulder restraint device is worn on the shoulders of the suspect or criminal. The hood 1 can be removed or covered as needed. Specifically, the hood 1 is worn on the suspect's head from top to bottom, and a horizontal opening 11 is provided on the front side of the hood 1. The hood 1 is usually made of cotton fabric. After the suspect puts on the hood 1, they can pull up or down the opening 11 at the front of the hood 1 to expose their face. In addition, there are adhesive strips on the upper and lower sides of the opening 11 that can be stuck together. After pulling the upper and lower sides of the opening 11 together, the upper and lower sides are overlapped and stuck together by the adhesive strips, thereby covering the suspect's face. This allows for quick switching between the two states of exposing and concealing the face, eliminating the hassle of removing the hood 1. Furthermore, the design of the opening 11 of the hood 1 means that suspects wearing glasses do not need to remove their glasses, which is very convenient. The full-head-covering design is even more humane for suspects with high blood pressure or cerebrovascular disease, and it also provides good warmth in winter.

[0029] If a suspect or criminal attempts to force their way through during escort, the longer end of the seat strap 4 can be wrapped around their neck and pulled back to quickly control their neck and render them unable to resist.

[0030] 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.
