Abstract

The safety belt system has two main restraint straps with further bracing webs and a head restraint loop. A vehicle rear seat has existing seat belt anchor points (1.0,1.4) to which are attached two main restraining belt webs (1.1) which lye across the passengers hip and chest area. These webs can be either parallel or flared to provide a larger load carrying area. Running laterally between the main webs are two bracing belts (1.2) of fixed length or preferably adjustable. The passengers head is supported by a specially shaped pillow which will stop whiplash injuries and a web loop (1.5) placed over the shoulders to stop any lateral sliding of the body.

Description

Problem

result

Bei längeren Autofahrten, insbesondere bei Reisen in den Urlaub schnallen sich die Kinder immer wieder bei Ermüdung aus dem Sicherheitssystem ab um sich auf die Rückbank schlafen zu legen. Hier sind sie dann aber stark gesundheitsgefährdet bei Brems manövern oder Unfällen.For longer car journeys, especially when traveling on vacation the children always strap themselves out of their fatigue Safety system from to sleep on the back seat. Here, however, they are very dangerous to health when braking maneuvers or accidents.

Selbst wenn sie sich nicht abschnallen und in "gesicherter Position einschlafen, ist die Schutzfunktion des normalen Gurtes in Verbindung mit dem Kindersitz nicht mehr ausreichend gegeben. Die Verletzungsgefahr für Halswirbel und Kopf ist auch hier jetzt größer. Außerdem bringt ein Schlaf in dieser Haltung Verspannungen und Verkrampfungen der Muskulatur mit sich.Even if they don't unbuckle and in "secured Falling asleep position is the protective function of the normal belt not sufficiently given in connection with the child seat. The risk of injury to the cervical vertebrae and head is also here bigger now. It also brings sleep in this posture Tensions and cramps in the muscles.

Proposed solution

Als Lösung bietet sich hier ein Liegegurt an. Hier wird das Kind auf die Rückbank gelegt und durch den Spezialgurt in Brust- und Beckenhöhe gesichert. Zur Sicherung des Kopfes kann in Kombination mit dem Gurt ein Liegekissen so konzipiert werden, daß der obere Kopf zur Seitentüre oder Fahrzeugseite hin gegen Aufprall oder Stoß gesichert wird. Eine leichte Anhebung der äußeren Kissenkante (im leichten Bogen nach oben) schützt den Kopf vor zu großen Bewegungen im Notfall. Dieses könnte unterstützt werden, indem in dem Kopfteil eine Ausbuchtung speziell für den Halsbereich vorgesehen wird. Damit ist auch hier eine Absicherung des Halswirbels berücksichtigt.A lying belt is the solution. Here is the child placed on the back seat and through the special belt in the chest and Secured pool height. To secure the head in Combined with the strap a lying pillow can be designed that the upper head towards the side door or vehicle side Impact or shock is secured. A slight increase in outer cushion edge (in a slight curve upwards) protects the Head before too much movement in an emergency. This could be be supported by a bulge in the head part is specifically designed for the neck area. That is also a cervical vertebra is considered here.
