Remote controlled retractable leg restraint device

摘要

A remote controlled retractable leg iron device provides a restraint device which can be used by police or any other authority to maintain control of persons while in transport. The device is remote controlled so an operator can control the wearer from a distance. The cuffs are secured to the legs of the wearer and are attached to the housing unit by a cable which retracts into the housing unit. In a normal operation mode the cable freely extends and retracts so that the wearer can walk or move with little resistance. In an emergency mode, the device retracts the wire cable into the housing unit so that the wearer's legs are restrained tightly together—removing the lack of resistance and thus stopping the wearer's motion. The emergency mode is activated using the remote control.
