Abstract
Abstract A restraining jacket having long sleeves and opening at the back has a belt portion extending around the jacket at the waist area. This belt is integrally attached to the jacket, has two spaced apart loops at the rear portion and projecting to the rear and towards each other that are formed up as loops from a part of the belt. These loops receive an elongated tie or cord member slidably therethrough that may be attached at each end to a bed portion or a portion of a chair at each side or it may be passed underneath the bed or to the rear of a chair back and there the ends are tied together. A modified form of restraining garment takes the form of a diaper-like member having an intermediate portion received between the legs of the wearer and a rear panel and a front panel integral with the ends of the intermediate panel. The front panel has secured along its top edge loops formed at each end that extend to the rear of the wearer. At each top edge of the rear panel there is attached a loop member. The rearwardly extending loops are received through each of the loops at the top edges of the rear panel and passed slidably through each protruding loop is a tie member that is attached in a manner similar to the tie member of the jacket.
