Abstract
A general purpose, safety belt for restraining bed patients against falling out of bed. The belt confines a patient to an arc of relatively free rolling movement within limits of a 90.degree. roll in each direction. A pair of laterally offset, securing straps attach to the bedsides and surround the patient. A pair of upper and lower, central, cross straps transvesely intersect and are sewn at their ends to a central portion of the securing straps. A soft pad is attached above the crossed straps, quick release buckles facilitate convenient but secure attachment to the bed and a locked or more difficult to release buckle secures the belt about the patient.
