Over-tightening prevention handcuffs
Over-tightening prevention, modernized solutions at Hulkkuffs® Canada.
Effectively Reduces Injuries in Handcuffing.
1, Pressure-sensitive double locks, never get over-tightened.
2, Extended wrist contacting surfaces, reduce dynamic impact by 75%.
Injures related to over-tightened handcuffs have been major concerns for many years.
The latest Hulkkuffs® solutions integrate multiple functions into conventional metallic handcuffs.
1), Over-tightening prevention with a patented pressure-triggered lock,
2), Innovative fast securing locking system, no manual push-to-lock latch, 80% faster in locking,
3), Fast unlocking mechanism, save 50% time in unlocking,
4), Anti-shimming, any shimming tool is stopped at an U-shaped catching notch on the pawl,
5), Anti-picking , 8 times longer in pick-resistance, very hard to unlock without a special key,
6), Reduce trauma injury even in very speedy cuffing, or spring shut, with a soft cushion mechanism,
7), False-locking prevention mechanism integrated in the design,
8), With multiple international patents.
Novel Handcuffs with injury prevention and automatic locks
A), Handcuffs have been commonly used to restrain individuals for over 100 years. It is not unusual for them to be applied in violent circumstances and/or for the individuals to struggle, over-tightening injury may occur. In speed cuffing tactics, handcuffs are applied by allowing the ratchet to spring shut (swing-thru cuff), this may lead to direct trauma. Superficial radial neuropathy has been the most common injury among all circumstances.
B), Although police officers are properly trained in the use of handcuffs including how to apply and remove them from individuals, certain situations or individuals sometimes present great challenges to engaging the intricate double locking system in conventional handcuffs, which can result, on occasion, in injury to the individual police officer, the individual, or both.
C), Major injures in handcuffing, or handcuffed.
1), Over-tightening injury for handcuffed individual,
2), Direct trauma injury in spring shut, or speed cuffing,
3), Other injuries in handcuffing: a small lock tip or actuator has to be flipped to lock the handcuffs, this is difficult, dangerous or even not possible when officer apprehension involves a struggle.
The modernized handcuffs developed by Hulkkuffs® Canada reduce and prevent most injuries in these types of situation.
More than just over-tightening prevention
Faster, Safer and more Reliable in handcuffing.
Simplified processes in cuffing and removing, results less injuries for both police officer and individual.
Certain situations or individuals present greater challenges to engaging the tiny locking system in conventional handcuffs, which may result in injury to the individual police officer, the individual, or both.
The new designs utilize an automatic locking mechanism and a force sensitive triggered stop-lock.
1), The mechanism is to engage and lock automatically, even when an individual is struggling or being non-compliant with officer direction, without pushing the lock level manually,
2), The force sensitive triggered stop-lock secures the moving ratchet immediately when excessive force is applied, and any further tightening is prevented.
3), Once the handcuffs are placed on an individual with a pressure greater than pre-set, the mechanisms lock the handcuffs in both directions; any further push-tightening, self-tightening or/and removing are sufficiently prevented.
4), The Elimination of manual lock and un-lock mechanisms reduces cuffing and removing time. Faster in cuffing and removing is critical when apprehension involves a struggle.
The research and development of the new handcuffs have been sponsored by RCMP (The Royal Canadian Mounted Police) and ISED (Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada).
