Abstract
A restraint device for joining a first member to a second member and controlling relative movement of the first member with respect to the second member includes a rigid center member and a rigid annular member. The rigid annular member is concentrically disposed about the center member with respect to a common reference axis. A flexible continuous band is disposed concentrically between the center member and the annular member. The flexible continuous band joins the center member to the annular member at spaced-apart locations. The flexible continuous band is substantially rigid for moments about the common reference axis, yet compliant in other directions.
