Abstract:
1. A restraint clip comprising: an engaging member, the engaging member having a body defining an engaging member hole extending from a top surface through a bottom surface of the engaging member and two abutting surfaces connecting the top surface and the bottom surface, wherein each abutting surface is planar along substantially the entire distance between the top surface and the bottom surface; a lock having a lock body with an annular base defining a lock hole spatially aligned with the engaging member hole, wherein said lock coacts with the engaging member, wherein the engaging member has two non-abutting surfaces and the lock body has a first vertical arm extending from the base, wherein a side of the first vertical arm abutting one of the two non-abutting surfaces of the engaging member is planar and is unattached to the engaging member; a fastener extending along a longitudinal axis threadably engaged with the engaging member hole and passing through the lock hole; and a stop attached to said fastener coacting with said lock, whereby the engaging member is adapted to move along the longitudinal axis relative to the fastener when the fastener is rotated about the longitudinal axis, wherein movement of the fastener in one direction decreases the distance between the engaging member and the lock body base, such that the top surface of the engaging member moves away from a distal-most portion of the first vertical arm.
