Security restraining blanket

Abstract

A security restraining blanket includes a main flexible flat pad adapted to be secured to a support structure, such as a bed, cart or table, so as to extend across a surface of the structure, and a restraining section adapted to be fastened in a tubular configuration about the torso of a person and attached to the main pad for restraining the person's torso in a desired position on the main pad. Preferably, the restraining section is detachably attached to the main pad by one or more fasteners, such as zippers. Releasable arm restraint straps are provided on the main pad and on the restraining section for securement about the arms of the person to restrain the person's arms in desired positions on the main pad or to the restraining section. The arm straps on the main pad are oriented at about forty-five degrees to the person's torso to restrain the person's arm in a more comfortable position than when the arms are restrained in parallel relation against the sides of the person's torso. Also, releasable fastening straps and segments are provided on the restraining section for securing its opposite ends about the person' s torso. Free ends of the straps contain patches of complementary fastening material, such as pile and hook material, for attaching the strap ends together.
