<p>An apparatus, and method of use thereof, for storing, transporting and deploying multiple restraint system components is provided. The inventive apparatus consists of two trays composed of flexible materials. The first tray is configured for storing wrist and ankle restraint systems, the second tray, smaller than the first tray, includes a top-mounted compartment for storing a multi-point restraint connection system. The storage compartment of second tray is secured to the tray by releasable connectors, and is at least partially disengaged to receive the various components of the multi-point restraint connection system, and releasably secured thereafter. The connection system is stored in such a manner as to partially display a portion of each system component outside of the storage compartment, with each portion oriented toward its eventual deployment area once the second tray is placed on the structure on which the EDP will be restrained. An optional secondary compartment may be provided on top of the storage compartment for storing a supplemental restraint system, such as the articulated upper body protection system. To complete the storage/transport configuration, the second tray is placed over a longitudinally folded first tray and the two trays are rolled up from one side to another. A releasable closure device secures the apparatus in its rolled up position. Advantageously, the storage configuration of the inventive apparatus enables easy and intuitive deployment thereof.</p> |
