A set of double locking handcuffs wherein a single cuff has a frame that is a solid member, having an ergonomic base and a single arcuate arm, to which an opposite-facing arcuate swing arm is pivotally affixed at the top of the arm that rotates parallel to the frame in a bypass manner without a mechanical union with the base of the frame. At the top of the swing arm at the pivot point is the housing, having the gear, pawl, and lock assembly disposed in its cavity. The gear's circumference has both ratcheting and smooth surfaces that cooperate with the pawl. The lock assembly comprises a keyway that is configured to cooperate with protrusions within the cavity to prevent defeat of the cuff. The housing of one cuff is at the opposite axial end of the housing of the adjoining cuff when the set is extended outward. |
