Annotation
Triple locking handcuffs are provided having a lock which has an abutment therein which pushes against a bolt in the lock to double lock the latch and triple lock the ratchet and pawl of the lock.
Abstract
In the triple locked position a biasing means forces the bolt against the abutment, and to unlock the handcuffs a number of different mechanical means are provided for moving the bolt slightly away from the abutment, whereupon the ordinary handcuff key can be used to unlock the handcuffs. Handcuffs are also provided which automatically double and triple lock upon application to the wrist. (NTIS abstract)
