A handcuff apparatus includes a combination locking head and strap support which includes a first longitudinal axis. A first handcuff strap and a second handcuff strap are connected to the combination locking head and strap support. Each of the respective first and second handcuff straps are connected to the combination locking head and strap support parallel to a second longitudinal axis which is substantially perpendicular to the first longitudinal axis. Both the handcuff straps extend outward from the combination locking head and strap support from the same side of the strap support. Each of the respective handcuff straps includes a ratchet-bearing side and a smooth side which contacts the skin of a person to be restrained. Respective strap-supported unidirectional ratchet members are located on the respective ratchet-bearing sides. The locking head and strap support is provided with a movable locking dip or member normally supported in a first or non-engagement position within a portion of the locking head. When the handcuff apparatus is applied to a person being restrained, the clip is depressed into the head until it suitably locks in place in a second “locked” condition characterized by additional ratchet teeth provided on the locking clip meshing with corresponding complimentary ratchet teeth on the juxtaposed strap being supported therein.
