Abstract

A body restraining device for restraining movement of the body of a subject which comprises a flexible strap construction having Velcro-covered segments at the ends thereof, and also having an enlarged section of the strap construction thicker than the thickness of the strap itself, the enlarged strap section acting to prevent the strap from slipping through the space between an automobile door and the door jamb when the door is closed. The device is particularly adapted for restraining the movement of prisoners who are positioned in the jump seat of a police car or the like.
