Abstract
A restraining device having an elongated body portion and a pair of arms extending outwardly from the body portion. Each of the arms of such position on the body portion and of such length as to cooperate with one end of the body portion in establishing a closed loop. Locking means, which may be adjustable, are provided for resisting opening of the loop. The restraining device may be of unitary construction and may be molded as a unit from a material such as a resinous plastic.
Claims12
A restraining device comprising,
- an elongated unitary body portion,
- a pair of arms extending outwardly from said body portion, each said arm being of such length and position on said body portion as to cooperate with one end of said body portion in establishing a closed loop,
- locking means for resisting opening of said closed loop, and
- said locking means having means for permanently resisting loop enlargement so as to preclude substantial loop enlargement without permanent destruction of said loop, and
- said locking means having adjustable means providing a number of different locking positions corresponding to different loop sizes, whereby
- each of said loops will be partially defined by said body portion, partially defined by one said arm and will be permanently secured by said locking means.
