Abstract
A capture and restraining device having two poles, at least one flexible strand extending between the poles, and retainers secured to the poles for slidably connecting the flexible strand to the poles. In one of the disclosed embodiments, the device has two strands forming continuous, closed loops. The first strand has two overlapping segments which run between the poles and two non-overlapping segments which run between the poles. The second strand has two non-overlapping segments which run between the poles and intertwine with the non-overlapping segments of the first strand. Each retainer includes a clasp fixedly secured to the pole and a ring through which the clasp and one or more of the flexible strands pass. The clasps may be releasable for releasably securing the rings to the poles. The device may further include straps with hand loops attached to the poles. Each pole may be comprised of a main pole section and longitudinal extension section detachably connected to the main pole section. In alternative disclosed embodiments of the invention, the flexible strands are interconnected and slidably connected to the poles in a variety of arrangements, and the device includes fewer and more flexible strands and additional components.
