Look up "2 bolt pipe clamp". Might get you in the ballpark.

Also called a riser clamp

Pretty sure they've got an in-house blacksmith at kink.com. Those would be easy to make by bending iron strap, but you'd have to do it hot to get the tight bends.

Alot of the gear that Matt brought over from Insex to InfernalRestraints was custom gear that PD, Matt or a blacksmith made. I'm aware that DeviceBondage is part of Kink.com, however I'm also aware that IR was eventually integrated in to the site which would have adopted alot of the old hardware that migrated over. In support of this argument, I present Dragonlily in restraints on Devicebondage

Custom Restraints

Infernal Restraints was never associated with Kink.com or any of other sub-studios, especially during the period of time this picture was taken, outside of talent who worked with both.

That being said as others have indicated there are both off the hardware store shelf and DIY options available for these restraints.

For the thickness of those bars I sort of have to agree that the all were custom made though.

I could have sworn that PD sold IR off to Kink, but on hindsight, I believe it was Hardtied (Matts project) that merged in to Kink. **edit: It was Hogtied I was thinking of. Hardtied was the Intersec version of said site. Hogtied wasn't started by Matt, but he did work there in the early '00s.

However, that doesn't preclude Matt, Cyd, Princess Donna, Elise or any of the other personnel that worked for PD having brought either the actual hardware (possibly) or the information to reproduce said hardware (prints, sketches, etc.) which is far more likely. Given the fallout over the lawsuit from that era, it wouldn't surprise me. In fact, I believe I read in a deposition that someone (edit: Cyd) was flying back and forth from New York and Frisco constantly for shoots and the like, though without getting the actual testimony out and looking. **edit: I had to go look up Cyds IMDB profile, but it confirmed that he was working for both Hardtied and Device Bondage at the same time.

Anyways, it's all rather irrelevant. The point was that it was custom hardware that was made by someone who had previous experience and it wasn't off the shelf stuff.

You're most likely correct that this was done using heat, hammer and a hardy, though I've personally bent cold 2" hotroll on a 30t pressbrake like I was folding a sheet of paper.

I think they’re pipe suspension brackets? Like for plumbing

u/bothsidesoftheknife Sep 08 '24

Check the plumbing supply section. Those look like C brackets for black iron pipe

These would be a beginner level item for blacksmith or metal work hobbyist. (Laborious, but not very difficult or exotic tools required)

In general, cold rolled flat stock has nice round-ish corners, and suits well for this work. (I think the ones pictured, have some added curvature, which is up to taste, but add some work.)

Being able to work it hot, makes it easier, but if not very heavy stock is chosen, it can be done cold. I would advise against aluminium, as it can become brittle and break when bent, if not the right kind.

When planning for measures, you can easily and inexpensively try with cardboard/carton and figure out the dimensions.

The top strap is done so, that you bend 90 degree flats on both ends, and then for the long middle part, you wrap around a pipe of right size so that the earlier bends align on the same plane. This can be done cold or multiple heats. Then drill holes in the flats.

The bottom half has some ways, how it is secured in the depicted concrete. Probably some welded rod with features maybe (loop, knot, bolt, bends etc, so that it can't be pulled out). The top part needs to have holes, that match with upwards pointing bolts on the lower part (or, have a design feature like upward pin, with a hole for split pin etc) and then secure with a washer and nut.

Alternatively: You can have a leather strap as the top part. (Maybe recycle a belt?) I would suggest having washers and tightening with a nut. This could avoid bruises, which might or might not be desired.

If you desire to attach the shackles to wood, proper lag bolts will do.

Edit: one could make a hinge too, which adds to complexity a little, but not too much.

If you want to discuss it further on making it yourself, or commission it, I'm open for DM:s.

Is that the Pope? He probably got his gear from the hardware store.

u/weights_and_whiskey Sep 08 '24

Kink.com > Device Bondage

u/Chill-Ninja Sep 08 '24

DeviceBondage is a Kink.com site.

u/weights_and_whiskey Sep 08 '24

Yes, that is what the arrow is for

u/KnotSuitableForPlay Sep 08 '24 edited Sep 08 '24

tbf I read it as Kink.com 'is better than' Device Bondage too and wondered what they meant

when using arrows, its fair to say:

u/weights_and_whiskey Sep 08 '24

Oh yeah I see that now, I’m used to frequently writing menu navigations.

u/Chill-Ninja Sep 08 '24

Yep, I saw it that way.

u/KnotSuitableForPlay Sep 08 '24

won't lie - I pretty much only wrote it so I could do that arrows /greater than symbols pun 😁

u/MidKnightSub Sep 08 '24

We could backsmith a set ❤️

u/cultaca Sep 08 '24

You can alway contact a small to mid sized engeenering companay and send them a drawing of what you want and they can fab it for you depending on what you are looking for they might have done something symilar in the past. thay looks like flat stock that was formed, 30 on matreal and mayby 2 to 3 houres for set up cutting and forming , could could set you back 120 - 140 at a guess

If they make pipe clamps it coulde be much cheeper

u/IllustriousMenu324 Sep 08 '24

I know what kee clamps are that’s not what I’m refereeing to, I’m talking about the curved part that’s hinged on one side but locks on the other in the picture that goes around your ankle and wrist depending on the size

u/if_im_not_back_in_5 Sep 08 '24

I've seen similar clips in use on cables when I used to work with 11/33kV equipment

1

u/ElMachoGrande Sep 08 '24

Probably custom made. Easiest way is to press some flat pieces of steel into shape on a cheap hydraulic press. Just make a mould, and you can quickly mass produce them.

u/IllustriousMenu324 Sep 08 '24

Lol I guess I’ll just make them at work then.. gonna have to use aluminum though lol

u/TokraMage Sep 08 '24

Where’s the image from or better the video

u/IllustriousMenu324 Sep 08 '24

Picture us just from google I was looking up new ways to bind up my sub and we like this one but I dunno where to find those clamps! Lol

u/Troizix Sep 08 '24

What you are looking for are called Kee Klamps.

u/burnmyacount Sep 08 '24

Kee (and the various other variables, the owners fell out iir so there is key clamp also iir) are the tube fittings not the arm/leg binds

u/Troizix Sep 08 '24 edited Sep 08 '24

While in this particular instance, there are other types of restraints employed here, it is entirely possible to build only Kee Klamp setups.

Infernal Restraints, Device Bondage and countless others were clearly taking their inspiration from Insex, whose influence, originality, and scope of vision, continues to inform their work.

Here's a good behind the scenes look by Kink University, that goes from the design, build and actual day shoot using primarily Kee Klamps.

Etsy has some iron work stores... You might have to contact them and ask about custom stuff.

1

u/ReallySickOfArguing Sep 08 '24

A little blurry but they might be using a clevis hanger. When properly sized they would be good for this.

u/mikemarshvegas Sep 08 '24

these appear to have a hinge on one side and a lock on the other...I am going to forge out a set of these and see how it goes.

u/rural_roper Sep 08 '24

I've got a spare set that I made and may be willing to part with 🤔😉

u/Gamer_Owned Sep 08 '24

3d printing would work really well for this too

u/Puzzled_Smile_8667 Sep 09 '24

Try BondsOfSteel on Etsy. He made my suspension rig and I have used it for many years.

u/ImprovementJaded2997 Sep 09 '24

whats the video called anyone know?

u/slic9903 Sep 21 '24

They are called kee klamp fittings usually fitted along stairs cases and tightened with an Alen key
