What handcuffs look like. Use of handcuffs. Use of handcuffs by guards and civilians

The date from which the history of handcuffs begins is known. It is 1780 when the British firm Hiatt & Co released the compact Darby shackles, equipped with a simple snap lock.

The outer part of the bracelets was made in the form of a tube, into the side hole of which there was a movable arc, locked with a spring-loaded tongue.

To “unchain” the criminal, a blacksmith was no longer needed. To do this with bottom side a key was inserted into the tube with internal thread and was screwed onto the shank, which pulled back the latch spring. Darby diameters were standardized, but it was impossible to get by with less than three standard sizes. The police had to have separate “men’s”, separate “women’s” and separate “children’s” bracelets - and try not to make a mistake with the sizes. Handcuffs became truly universal already in the 19th century. In 1862, the American William Adams patented a design with an adjustable diameter: now the movable shackle received teeth and passed through a through window, grasping with a lock. Four years later, Orson Phelps improved the lock and moved the battlements to inner part temples, making the structure more compact.

The production of handcuffs based on the patents of Adams and Phelps was established by John Tower, who soon added small but important innovations to them: the arms became rounded, and the hole for the key moved to the edge. This made it easier for the police to lock the lock and more difficult for the criminal to “pry it open”. A lock appeared that prevented the bracelets from tightening spontaneously, cutting off the blood supply to the hands.

End of story

Immobilizing a criminal with Tower handcuffs in real operational conditions was a dangerous task. Before putting them on your wrist, you had to unlock the lock with a key, which you didn’t always have enough time for, or even your hands, or to wear them open in advance. But there was only one step left to the ideal, and it was taken by the engineer of the American company Peerless, George Kearney.

The bracelet here is a double semi-arc, in the lumen of which the movable half rotates, outside equipped with teeth. The lock is located on the inside: a spring-loaded ratchet with teeth is released by turning the key.

In 1912, the first model with a through-motion movable arc of the bracelet appeared on the market. Without encountering an obstacle, it rotates freely in one direction. A simple ratchet mechanism prevents it from going back. Now the handcuffs were always ready for use. By hitting the criminal's wrist with the movable bow, it starts to rotate and makes a full revolution, latching tightly. All that remains is to tighten it.

Peerless 1912 spawned a whole series of imitations and ensured the company's long-term dominance in the market. It was only in 1970 that it was supplanted by Smith & Wesson with its extremely successful models 90 and 100. With countless clones, they turned out to be the most widespread in the world - a real Kalashnikov among handcuffs.

Disposable world

In 1992, after a jury acquitted the police officers who beat black man Rodney King for violent behavior, tens of thousands of African Americans took to the streets of Los Angeles. The riot became a serious test for the local police. There simply weren't enough metal handcuffs. We used ropes, wires... and disposable plastic cable ties.

The find turned out to be successful, and today hundreds of types of disposable plastic handcuffs are produced. Unlike cable ties, which can be torn apart by a sharp and forceful movement, they are extremely durable.

Important detail Peerless handcuffs - round protrusion on the head of the key. It allows you to recess the protective pin on the edge of the lock, block the movement of the ratchet and prevent spontaneous tightening on the hand.

They are made from vulcanized santoprene (TPV) or reinforced nylon 66. According to the standards of the American Mil-S-23190E certificate, their tensile strength is at least 150 kg. You can't even take them with scissors; for this you will need side cutters. All that remains is to patiently saw through the plastic with a suitable abrasive - they say that sometimes this can be done with laces.

It seems that this is the end of the handcuffs story. However, life goes on, and as a person meets another person, he will have a need to limit his mobility in an increasingly reliable way.

SPECIAL MEANS - according to Russian legislation, various kinds of objects, devices, mechanisms, substances and animals intended for use in the performance of law enforcement and security tasks.

HANDCUFFS- a special means of passive action, made in the form of two rings with locks (bracelets), connected to each other, used by law enforcement officers and private security guards to limit the mobility of the detainee. Handcuffs are placed on the hands and, to one degree or another, deprive the detainee of freedom of movement.

The first handcuffs appeared with the invention of metal; they resembled heavy shackles, had no locks, and were riveted using fire and a hammer. Before this, instead of handcuffs, rope and other improvised materials were used to tie hands. Rope and elastic materials had many disadvantages - they could be cut, frayed, set on fire, or stretched. A real revolution in the production of handcuffs occurred in 1912, when Peerless engineers invented a reusable device with a shackle that rotated through and made it possible to adjust the handcuffs to the size of any person’s hand. In addition, a ratchet mechanism was used for the first time in handcuffs, the principle of which was based on the fact that the upper arm of the handcuffs could rotate freely only in one direction, and back only if the ratchet was held by a key. The handcuffs were connected to each other by welded steel chain links. Thus, the engineers created a promising design that has survived to this day practically unchanged.

In private security activities today it is allowed to use handcuffs following types: "BR-S", "BR-S2", "BCS-1", "BOS". The size of the handcuffs allows them to be used for maximum big hand(and even on the ankle!) or on a small hand (in the extreme position the arms are compressed to an oval with sides of 5 and 4.5 cm). The locking part of the handcuffs allows them to be latched without using a key, and also to secure the latch from further pinching of the limb. When worn on a belt, a cover is used to carry handcuffs.

Brief characteristics of handcuffs:

- BKS-1 “Tenderness-1”- special escort handcuffs. The bracelets are connected to each other using a chain and have increased stability, withstanding a tensile force of over 1500 N for 30 seconds. Semi-rigid hinged fastening of links. Automatic latching. The ratchet mechanism is made with a negative tooth engagement angle (with undercut), which ensures operation on the “shark tooth” principle. The increased angle of the rear sliding plane of the tooth guarantees easier snapping, increases the mechanical strength of engagement and wear resistance.
- BKS-1 “Prank”- a type of handcuffs with a stationary fastening to the wall.
- BKS-1 "Bouquet" designed for 5 people, they consist of five pairs of “bracelets” fastened together with long chains. Designed to detain a group of criminals.

- BR-S- operational, two-link handcuffs (complete with one key, fixed in a given position) - the main model of handcuffs used by employees of private security companies.

BR-S2 "Crab"- operational handcuffs, two-link (with a high-complexity lock, complete with two keys, fixed in a given position), with arches big size and a latch protruding outward, which allows you to lock the arches without using a key, unlike other analogues, while the lock is removed when the key is turned in the same direction as for opening. One of the advantages is that the latch is divided into two parts and there is a jumper between them in the lock, which makes it impossible to press both latches with something simple like a paperclip. Disadvantage - the keyhole comes out on both sides, which reduces the resistance to opening.

BR-M- a simplified version of handcuffs without anti-squeeze and lock. The latch is similar to the "Tenderness-1" mechanism. The smallest of the chain locks in size and the simplest in design, but with the least reliability and secrecy of the lock.

- BOS “Tenderness-2”- special operational handcuffs, with a rigid system for attaching the bracelets to each other. Instead of a chain, the halves of the handcuffs are connected by three metal earrings, which provides a more rigid fixation of the hands. They have anti-squeeze pins and a groove on the arc, a lock that allows you to block further movement of the arc and prevent possible over-tightening.

Methods of handcuffing are determined during the decision process specific tasks, but most often they are used to shackle hands when delivering, escorting, or escorting offenders. To prevent unexpected attacks and violent behavior, other, more stringent measures that limit movement, including shackling of legs, arms and torso, may be used. Most often, handcuffs are put on the hands, in a position behind the back (when the offender is transported in transport, handcuffs are put on in front of the body). Handcuffing usually occurs after a warning about the use of force and weapons, as well as after painful holds and throws.

Use of handcuffs:

1. Before use, the locking devices of the product must be in their original unlocked state.

2. To put on handcuffs, it is necessary to hold the locking device, apply the sector to the wrist and sharply press the locking device so that the sector rotates 180 degrees on its axis and enters the locking device. Then it is necessary to squeeze the sector in the direction of movement so tightly as to exclude the possibility of removing the hand and excessive compression of the wrist, leading to cessation of blood circulation.

3. Having put on handcuffs and installed required size(the bracelet should tightly cover the hand, and the hand should rotate without difficulty in tightly fastened handcuffs), the locking devices are moved to a fixed position. To do this: in BR handcuffs, insert the key into the locking device and turn it clockwise; in BR-S handcuffs, the pusher is fixed with the tail part of the key.

4. To remove handcuffs, the locking devices are moved to the open position using a key. In BR handcuffs, the key is turned counterclockwise twice and, holding it in this position, the semi-claw with teeth is disengaged from the locking device. In BR-S handcuffs, turn the key first counterclockwise (remove it from locking), and then clockwise. Also, holding the key in this position, the semi-bracket is disengaged from the locking device.

Handcuffs can be placed on the opponent in a standing, lying, or kneeling position. When handcuffing, regardless of the position of the opponent, it is necessary to observe a number of basic rules:

Before putting handcuffs on, you should, using force or the threat of using a weapon, force the offender to take a position that is convenient for their use and eliminates the possibility of a counterattack.

The offender must be pressed tightly with his chest and stomach to the ground, wall, etc.

To put on handcuffs, the hands are placed behind the back one by one, and a painful effect is applied to them.

When putting on handcuffs, it is necessary that the locking device is adjacent to the inner surface of the wrist, and the sector is rotated in such a direction as to prevent the possibility of it getting caught on clothing or the body.

When putting on handcuffs, you must be on the side of the offender, out of reach of your legs. It is dangerous to handcuff only one of the detainee's hands while holding the other in your own hand, as he may use this position to strike.

For more reliable movement restrictions, the following are used: hand positions when putting on handcuffs:

Hands behind your back, hands one above the other,

Hands behind your back, hands pressed back to back.

Operate handcuffs possible at temperatures from - 30 to + 40°C. The product must be stored in packaging in indoors with air temperatures from +5 C to +40 C and relative humidity no more than 80%. It is recommended to periodically clean and lubricate the handcuffs according to the manufacturer's instructions. It is recommended to store the product in dry warehouses. Avoid storing the product together with acids, alkalis and other substances that are aggressive towards metals. During operation, you should take into account the degree of structural rigidity and reliability of fixation of each type of handcuffs, determined by the type of locks and connecting devices between the bracelets.

The right to use special equipment by private security guards arises only to suppress crimes against the property they protect in the event that the offender provides physical resistance, which must be expressed in real actions that can prevent his arrest. The use of special means by a security guard in excess of his powers, extreme necessity or necessary defense entails liability established by law.

It is prohibited to use special means against pregnant women, disabled people and minors, except in cases of armed resistance or a group attack that threatens the life and health of a security guard or protected property.

In situations where the use of special means is inevitable, the security guard is obliged to show restraint, act based on the prevailing situation and the goal that must be achieved, minimizing the possibility of causing damage to property and bodily harm.

When using special equipment, the security guard must comply with four basic conditions:
- warn the person(s) of the intention to use them, while providing sufficient time to fulfill their requirements (except for cases where delay in use may result in harm to the life and health of the security guard, third parties, or other serious consequences);
- strive to minimize the harm that may be caused to the offender as a result of such use;
- provide victims with first aid medical care, notify as soon as possible short term health and internal affairs authorities;
- Immediately notify the prosecutor of all cases of death or bodily harm.

Special conditions for the use of handcuffs- periodic (at least once every two hours) check of the locking condition of the locks in order to prevent bodily harm to the detainee.

Organization of effective security of real estate objects using special means, weapons, guard dogs, equipment is one of the main activities of the TAGGERD group of security companies (private security company Moscow).

This article will examine the legal and technical aspects of the use of handcuffs by the police, private security forces, and citizens; laws and materials will be reviewed judicial practice of the Russian Federation when using special means by territorial police bodies, specific practical recommendations countering illegal actions of police officers.

A little history

Without exaggeration, it can be said with a high degree of certainty that there have always been means of restricting human freedom. With the invention of iron, the first handcuffs appeared, which gradually replaced wooden blocks. The search for the optimal design of handcuffs was carried out in Europe and America. The English company Hiatt introduced the first handcuffs with a lock and key. They were called Darby (hand shackles). They dressed on both hands and feet, but had significant drawback- their size was not regulated. In 1862, engineers from the American Tower Company invented and patented handcuffs whose size could be adjusted.

The first Soviet handcuffs were made back in the 30s of the last century and were called “BR” - hand bracelets. They were modified, but, in general, there were no serious constructive changes Did not happen.

The legal basis for the use of special means in Soviet times was the famous order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of 1962, which allowed the police to use handcuffs.

Handcuffing by police

It should be said right away that the procedure and grounds for the use of handcuffs are regulated by the legislation of the Russian Federation only for police officers, employees of private security agencies and detectives. Ordinary citizens can also use handcuffs. The main thing is not to violate the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. If a police officer finds handcuffs on a citizen, they may be confiscated. This will be illegal, since neither the criminal nor the administrative code of the Russian Federation provides for liability for the storage and wearing of handcuffs by citizens.

The current law of the Russian Federation “On Police” determines the procedure for the use of handcuffs by police officers. Law enforcement officers have the right to use handcuffs:

When a person physically resists an employee when a criminal is detained at the scene of a crime and is trying to escape

To deliver the offender to the police.

The same law prohibits the use of handcuffs in relation to:

Pregnant women

Disabled

Young children under 14 years of age

As can be seen from the law, the main purpose of special equipment (handcuffs) is to prevent (block) the actions of an offender that may threaten a police officer.

But, as law enforcement activity shows, not everything is so simple and unambiguous with the use of handcuffs, which makes it possible to interpret the law in two ways.

For example, we can consider administrative detention. It should begin with the police handcuffing the offender, having previously announced his arrest. The detainee must extend his hands, thereby making the task easier for the policeman. This is an option when the detainee cooperates in his arrest. By putting handcuffs on, the police officer provides himself with a physical advantage over the detainee and effectively limits the detainee’s ability to escape and commit crimes. Next, the detainee is transferred to the police for the preparation of administrative materials.

Many questions immediately arise. How should police officers handcuff a detainee? Federal Law(internal regulations police) this is not regulated. In practice, handcuffs are most often placed on the detainee in the “hands in front” or “hands in back” position. The very name of the special equipment “handcuffs” already indicates that they must be fastened on the hands (wrists). In police practice, sometimes a detainee is fastened to a battery, a car, handcuffs are put on his legs, his hand is fastened to his leg, and the most inventive law enforcement officers manage to fasten different hands and legs behind your back. Of course, these methods of using handcuffs are inhumane and must be legally assessed (qualified as a police officer exceeding his official powers). The law does not limit the time spent in handcuffs.

Improper use of handcuffs by police officers, such as those placed tightly around the wrists, can result in physical injury to the detainee on the wrists in the form of bruising, abrasions and swelling of the hands, as well as more serious injuries to the extremities.

You should know that in order to be safely in handcuffs, the tightness of the handcuffs clamping your wrists must be certain (to prevent injury, only one little finger should fit under the handcuff). If the handcuffs are tightened too tightly, the blood supply to the detainee's hands may be disrupted, which can lead to injury to the hands. The person who is handcuffed must be under surveillance. A detained offender cannot be placed in handcuffs on his stomach; the detainee’s hands must be checked every hour.

In the practice of using handcuffs, another logical question arises: “Can all modifications of handcuffs be used in the activities of the Russian police?” There can be one hundred percent confidence in the legality of the use of handcuffs if they were issued at the police station and there is a corresponding note in the issuing book with the signature of the issuing and receiving police officer.

The legislation of the Russian Federation provides for mandatory legal recording of the fact of the use of handcuffs. The police officer must draw up a protocol. It records the very fact of using handcuffs and the time when they were put on and taken off. The fact of delivery of a detained offender must be registered by the operational duty officer of the duty station in special magazine taken to the police duty station. Documentary recording of the fact of handcuffing a detainee is also required by the Charter of the Police Patrol Service. The police report must reflect the fact that handcuffs were used. In practice this is done extremely rarely.

Important information is whether the police officer was on duty at the time of the arrest or whether it was his personal time. To confirm the information, the court will request a copy of the service order from the police department. If you find yourself in a situation where you were illegally handcuffed, you should immediately report hotline Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia 8-800-222-74-47. Such an appeal will definitely be recorded and, in case of further judicial trial, will be interpreted in your favor.

But the most powerful argument for the court will be a forensic medical study (conclusion), which will record that harm to your health in the form of (name of disease) occurred as a result of the use of handcuffs. The medical report must indicate the cause-and-effect relationship between the actions of the police officer in using handcuffs and the consequences in the form of an existing medical diagnosis.

Use of handcuffs by guards and civilians

The use of special equipment (handcuffs) by private security guards and detectives is legally regulated by the Law of the Russian Federation “On private detective and security activities in the Russian Federation” and Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 587. The legislation gives the right to use handcuffs to a private security guard in the following situations:

1) in the event of an attack on him and protected persons, when their life and health are exposed to a real threat;

2) in relation to offenders who encroach on the property they protect and offer physical resistance.

An attack is an act of entering a protected facility, an attempt to seize (theft, destroy) all types of property, as well as an attack on security personnel. Special means(handcuffs) must be used by private security guards in compliance with:

1. A certain procedure

First, you should warn about the use of special equipment. After using special means, if necessary, the offender must be provided first aid. It is mandatory to notify the police about the incident.

The security guard is required to monitor the condition of the detainee until the police arrive.

Private security guards and detectives are prohibited from using handcuffs:

a) when pregnant women are detained;

b) disabled people;

c) minors (under 18 years of age).

Outside the protected facility (in a situation where he is a witness to the commission of a crime) private security guard or the detective can also use special equipment (handcuffs), but as a private person. His actions will be qualified by law as necessary defense (Article 37 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) or detention of a criminal (Article 38 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).

Illegal use of handcuffs, liability

The use of handcuffs by police officers in violation of the law of the Russian Federation is grounds for criminal, civil and disciplinary liability. The person affected by such actions has the right to compensation for material damage and moral damage. According to independent experts, the number of illegal detentions by police in the Russian Federation ranges from 17% to 19%, and only about 2% of citizens seek protection of their rights. The detainee may be subject to physical, property and moral harm. The legislation provides for the possibility of appealing against the actions of a police officer:

1. To a higher official (ineffective, the applicant will receive a formal reply).

2. In the prosecutor's office (the period for consideration of the application is 30 days, the result depends on the level of relations between the police and the prosecutor's office)

It is worth going into more detail about going to court. Which court should I go to? There are two options: at the place of residence or at the place of legal address of the police. What are the prospects? They depend on the practicing lawyer, financial condition the applicant, and, most importantly, the desire to bring the matter to a victorious end. What are the requirements for a lawyer? This must be a specialist in this category of cases. A generalist lawyer will be of no use. How to check the “quality” of a lawyer? It is necessary to ask him about his previous cases and check the declared success against the database (register) of court decisions of the Russian Federation. Before going to court, you should be aware that bringing police officers to criminal liability is a fairly rare phenomenon, and for the use of special equipment (handcuffs) is in the realm of the obvious and the incredible. But, as an analysis of judicial practice shows, this still happens. Typically, the actions of a police officer contain signs of a crime under Art. 161 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (violence not dangerous to life or health). Material compensation for physical harm caused can only be provided in the event of consequences dangerous to health. This could be a health disorder, injuries or disability that will have to be proven in court.

The offending police officer may be subject to civil penalties. It is worth knowing and remembering that in civil proceedings the burden of proof (collecting and presenting evidence to the court) lies with the victim himself (the applicant and his lawyer).

The Civil Code of the Russian Federation regulates compensation for moral damage, as well as the amount of compensation in a situation where the applicant has suffered moral damage. The amount of compensation to the applicant is determined by the court. It depends on the moral suffering and physical suffering caused to the victim. In practice, the court assesses the degree of guilt and damage in the actions of the police officer. A practicing lawyer can advise you on the correct amount of financial compensation claimed. Compensation for moral damage to the applicant is carried out in monetary terms.

The most effective way get from the offender (police officer) monetary compensation is filing a claim in court for compensation for damage caused by a police officer when he used special equipment (handcuffs), as a result of which the victim, the applicant, was injured.

TO statement of claim, which the lawyer will help prepare, must be attached medical report indicating the severity of bodily injuries, and also indicate what kind of property damage was caused (damage to things, shoes, etc.). The application must indicate the amount of damage in monetary terms that must be recovered from the defendant (territorial police agency) for harm caused to health and, separately, damage caused to property. The following must be attached to the statement of claim: medical certificates, doctors’ reports on the state of health, certificates of property damage, testimony of witnesses will be valuable, be sure to attach a receipt for payment of the state duty. Collect everything yourself Required documents and it is almost impossible to competently prepare for the trial, so you will have to resort to the services of a lawyer.

Conclusion. Impunity gives rise to arbitrariness and new crimes.

The permissiveness of the police awakens in them complete confidence in their own impunity. It should not be. The lawless people in uniform must receive their well-deserved punishment.

To achieve this, the practice of holding negligent police officers accountable for violating the laws of the Russian Federation should become the norm. To do this, you must not be afraid to protect your personal property and not property rights, defend your legal rights and interests in court and, most importantly, remember that only those who walk will master the road.

) today almost everyone can protect themselves from surprise attack. After all, they are the ones who allow us to maintain peace of mind and psychological comfort in our turbulent times, to be confident in our own safety and the safety of our loved ones.

And among the rich assortment you can see handcuffs of various models, which are distinguished by their simplicity of design and have a lot of positive feedback their owners.

Among the variety of models of handcuffs, we should dwell separately on the galvanized handcuffs of the BRS model, which combine such important parameters such as compactness, light weight and reliability in use. Differing from its analogues in its affordability and a range of technical data, this model has proven itself to be a reliable means of fixing and limiting activity.

To quickly put on these handcuffs, immobilizing the attacker’s hands for the required time, while using a lock of increased complexity, without causing serious damage to the person - this is how their owners describe the specifics of using BRS 1, 2, 3 handcuffs.

An overview of the BRS-2 handcuffs is presented in the video below:

Advantages and disadvantages

Most important qualities any handcuffs should be considered an indicator of their reliability, because since their main purpose is to temporarily immobilize the enemy and fix his hands, the degree of reliability of the material from which they are made and the complexity of the built-in lock determine this indicator. Modern materials, used for the manufacture of any model of handcuffs, necessarily has a high degree of strength combined with the ability to operate them in all weather conditions.

And the model under consideration compares favorably with analogues precisely in terms of the strength and rigidity of the metal from which they are made. The galvanized surface ensures that there is no possibility of rust formation.

Also, the advantages of the BRS 1, 2, 3 model include the following characteristics:

• appearance, which with its thoroughness and quality of execution already inspires respect for this product. The rings of the handcuffs do not have external flaws or places of deformation, which is especially important for ensuring the safety of the skin of the hands, since any unevenness of the surface can cause mechanical damage hand skin;
• the ability to fix the handcuffs in a certain position, allowing you to place your hands in them in such a way as not to interfere with blood circulation and prevent the possibility of the hand slipping out of the ring of the handcuffs;
• the lock has an increased degree of complexity, which also increases the level of reliability of the model;
• The kit, in addition to one steel key, instructions for use and cardboard packaging, also includes a molded case for the ability to wear handcuffs on a belt if necessary.

The relatively small weight of the handcuffs ensures comfort when moving and carrying them, and their compact size allows you to carry them even in your pocket or small bag.

The disadvantages, according to reviews from the owners of this model, include the significant cost of BRS handcuffs: in comparison with similar models, they are somewhat more expensive, but their price still allows you to purchase them even with a limited purchase budget. Another disadvantage is the presence of only one key for handcuffs in the kit: if it is lost, the ability to use handcuffs is lost, so it is recommended to make a duplicate of the existing key before using them.

Purpose

Steel handcuffs are intended to limit the possibility of a person committing actions that violate the laws of the country and pose a danger to others.

• Fixing handcuffs on the hands can significantly prevent the possibility of committing illegal actions.
• And the ability to install handcuffs in a certain position ensures simplicity and convenience of their use, and also guarantees the reliability of limiting the attacker’s activity.
• In addition to restricting the freedom of a person who violates the law and may threaten others, handcuffs model BRS 1, 2 and 3 can also be used for domestic and economic purposes.
• For extreme sports fans, handcuffs are used in sexual games - this is considered normal with the mutual consent of the parties involved and without causing bodily harm.

Varieties

Among all the handcuffs on sale today, the BRS model can be called the most popular and in demand, since it contains many positive characteristics with a minimum number of shortcomings.

The varieties of the model under consideration include galvanized handcuffs BRS 1, as well as 2 and 3. They differ in the type of lock installed and the method of their fixation, however, they all have a similar appearance and are characterized by an increased degree of reliability.

This video will tell you how the BRS-1 and 2 models differ:

Specifications

Being a modern and easy-to-use model, BRS handcuffs of all varieties have the highest technical characteristics. The table below shows the main ones.

Since handcuffs of any kind are not considered a type of weapon, their sale and purchase is not limited by law.

Installation of galvanized handcuffs BRS-1, 2, 3

The simplicity of the device ensures that there are no difficulties when using handcuffs.

• Two rings of increased rigidity made of the most mechanically resistant metal (stainless steel) with a galvanized surface are connected to each other by two links. Rigid fixation ensures the reliability of the device.
• Between the rings of the handcuffs there is a mortise lock, which comes with one key (also made of stainless steel). The location of the lock is such that when fixing your hands in handcuffs, it is impossible to reach it with your hands.

Options and packaging

When selling handcuffs model BRS 1, 2, 3, they are presented in the following configuration:

• the handcuffs themselves;
• one key;
• instructions;
• cardboard packaging.

However, in a more expanded configuration, the initial set may also include an open shaped case - it is convenient to carry handcuffs on your belt. detailed instructions allows you to understand the design of the device and operate it correctly.

How to use

The simple mechanism of the handcuffs allows you to use them without any special technical skills.

1. Before putting on the rings of the handcuffs, they should be opened as wide as possible.
2. After fixing on the hands, the rings snap into place and are placed in the required position, which ensures the reliability of their fixation.

The size of the handcuffs (their coverage) ensures a comfortable position of the hands in the rings, smooth inner surface rings guarantees the absence of mechanical damage to the skin of the hands during fixation.

Automatically closed handcuffs connect the hands together and do not allow the attacker to perform any active actions. necessary using the included key: a mortise lock with increased level complexity, opens without effort.
