Abstract

The safety belt fitting comprises a split annular ring (10) into which fits a sliding element (20) which holds the seat belt against the bottom run of the ring. The slider has an L-shaped cross-section with a pair of wedges (23,24) which are fitted against the junction of the horizontal and vertical sections. A lug (25) is attached to the front edge of the slider and passes through the slot in the ring which is chamfered (19) on one side. Once the slider is inserted into the ring it is prevented from sliding out by the lug abutting against the other side (11) of the ring. This prevents the belt from tightening too much round the user.

Description

La présente invention concerne les usagers de l'automobile, et plus particulièrement des ceintures de sécurité. The present invention relates to users of the automobile, and more particularly of seat belts.

I1 est maintenant usuel d'installer à bord des automobiles des ceintures de sécurité dites à enrouleur. Ces dispositifs ont pour fonction première d'exercer en permanence une légère tension sur le brin supérieur de la ceinture de sécurité. Ils sont munis de plus d'un anti-retour, qui réalise un coincement brutal dès qu'une forte traction est exercée sur la ceinture par le poids de l'usager, par exemple sous l'effet d'un choc, ou d'un freinage intense. It is now customary to install on-board automobile seat belts known as retractable belts. The primary function of these devices is to continuously exert slight tension on the upper leg of the seat belt. They are provided with more than one non-return, which achieves a brutal jamming as soon as a strong traction is exerted on the belt by the weight of the user, for example under the effect of a shock, or intense braking.

Pour un modèle donné d'automobile, la position de conduite de l'usager est assez variable suivant ses caractéristiques physiques, ainsi que ses habitudes. A côté de cela, les points d'attache et/ou de renvoi de la ceinture de sécurité à enrouleur sont, eux, fixes. I1 en résulte par exemple que certains usagers se retrouvent avec le brin supérieur de la ceinture soumis a légère traction , et portant pratiquement au niveau de leur cou. For a given model of automobile, the driving position of the user is quite variable according to his physical characteristics, as well as his habits. Besides this, the attachment and / or return points of the retractable seat belt are fixed. As a result, for example, some users find themselves with the upper strand of the belt subjected to slight traction, and wearing practically at their neck.

Le sentiment de risque de strangulation qui en résulte est tout à fait désagréable, et de surcroît parfaitement incompatible avec l'impression de sécurité que la ceinture de sécurité vise à créer.The feeling of risk of strangulation which results from it is completely unpleasant, and moreover completely incompatible with the impression of safety which the seat belt aims to create.

La présente invention vient apporter une solution particulièrement simple et élégante à ce problème. The present invention provides a particularly simple and elegant solution to this problem.

Selon l'invention, il est prévu un accessoire pour ceinture de sécurité qui comporte, en combina son :
un anneau étalé ouvert, apte à former passant pour un brin de la ceinture de sécurité, et
un coulisseau à cône, susceptible d'entrer dans l'anneau, pour se solidariser à friction au brin de la ceinture en coopération avec l'anneau.
According to the invention, an accessory for a seat belt is provided which comprises, in combination with its:
an open spread ring, capable of forming a pass for a part of the seat belt, and
a cone slide, capable of entering the ring, in order to frictionally join the strand of the belt in cooperation with the ring.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description detaillée qui va suivre, faite en référence au dessin annexé, sur lequel
les figures 1A et lB illustrent respectivement le coulisseau et l'anneau selon la présente invention et
3a figure 2 illustre le coulisseau en prise avec l'anneau et un brin de ceinture
Sur la figure 1A, la référence genérale 20 désigne le coulisseau. Celui-ci se compose d'une pièce en forme générale de cornière, à deux éléments perpendiculaires 21 et 22. Entre les deux éléments de la corniere sont prévues deux zones d'appui inclines 23 et 24.En partie médiane du bord principal libre de la pièce 22 est fixé un téton 25, constitué ici d'une paroi verticale formant borne, 25, soutenue par une entretoise perpendiculaire 26, en équerre. Les zones 23 et 24 sont inclinées pour descendre dans la direction où l'on va vers ce téton 25. Elles forment ainsi en coopération avec la plaque 22 une zone d'appui conique.
Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the detailed description which follows, made with reference to the appended drawing, in which
FIGS. 1A and 1B respectively illustrate the slide and the ring according to the present invention and
3a figure 2 illustrates the slide in engagement with the ring and a bit of belt
In FIG. 1A, the general reference 20 designates the slide. This consists of a part in the general shape of an angle iron, with two perpendicular elements 21 and 22. Between the two elements of the angle iron are provided two inclined support zones 23 and 24. In the middle part of the main free edge of the part 22 is fixed a stud 25, here consisting of a vertical wall forming a terminal, 25, supported by a perpendicular spacer 26, at right angles. The zones 23 and 24 are inclined to descend in the direction in which one goes towards this stud 25. They thus form, in cooperation with the plate 22, a conical support zone.

Sur la figure 1B, l'anneau, désigné par la référence générale 10, comporte deux grands côtés 11 et 13, et deux petits côtés 12 et 14. Le grand côté 11 est ouvert en son milieu, l'ouverture portant la référence 18. On voit que chacun des éléments de l'anneau est de section droite rectangulaire. Intérieurement, en 15, l'anneau définit un profil prismatique aplati. On définit ainsi un passant pour un brin d'une ceinture de sécurité, la largeur du prisme aplati étant légèrement supérieure à la largeur du brin de l'anneau. Le brin de l'anneau peut passer par l'ouverture 18 placée au centre du grand côté 11.Sur l'une de ces faces, ici en 16 et 19, l'ouverture 18 est chanfreinée, de manière a faciliter l'introduction du téton 25, qui va alors écarter légbre- ment les deux parties du grand côté 11, pour passer de l'autre côté de l'anneau. La partie 22 du coulisseau va alors s'engager à l'intérieur du passant défini par l'anneau. On notera à cet effet que la longueur de cette pièce 22 correspond à peu près à la largeur du brin de la ceinture de sécurité. In FIG. 1B, the ring, designated by the general reference 10, has two large sides 11 and 13, and two small sides 12 and 14. The large side 11 is open in the middle, the opening bearing the reference 18. We see that each of the elements of the ring is of rectangular cross section. Internally, at 15, the ring defines a flattened prismatic profile. A loop is thus defined for a strand of a seat belt, the width of the flattened prism being slightly greater than the width of the strand of the ring. The strand of the ring can pass through the opening 18 placed in the center of the long side 11. On one of these faces, here at 16 and 19, the opening 18 is chamfered, so as to facilitate the introduction of the stud 25, which will then slightly separate the two parts of the long side 11, to pass on the other side of the ring. Part 22 of the slider will then engage inside the loop defined by the ring. It will be noted for this purpose that the length of this piece 22 corresponds approximately to the width of the strand of the seat belt.

On se trouve alors dans la position de la figure 2. Un brin de ceinture 30 est passé dans l'anneau 10, et le coulisseau 20 est introduit par-dessus le brin, également dans l'anneau 10, le téton 25 étant passé de l'autre côté de l'ouverture 18.  We are then in the position of Figure 2. A belt strand 30 is passed through the ring 10, and the slide 20 is introduced over the strand, also in the ring 10, the stud 25 having passed from the other side of the opening 18.

En exerçant une légère pression sur la partie 21 du coulisseau, l'usager fait alors entrer les deux pièces coniques 23 et 24 de celui-ci a l'intérieur du passant, ce qui réalise un effort vertical assurant le coincement du coulisseau avec l'anneau, compte tenu de l'interposition du brin 30 de la ceinture entre la partie inférieure de la pièce 22 et le grand côté 13 de l'anneau.  By exerting a slight pressure on the part 21 of the slide, the user then brings the two conical pieces 23 and 24 thereof inside the passer, which makes a vertical force ensuring the jamming of the slide with the ring, taking into account the interposition of the strand 30 of the belt between the lower part of the part 22 and the long side 13 of the ring.

L'utilisation du dispositif de la présente invention est très simple : on installe ce dispositif de la manière illustrée sur la figure 2, tout près du point de renvoi de l'enrouleur automatique de la ceinture, côté usager, de façon à laisser un léger mou à la ceinture, par exemple cinq à dix centimètres. L'usager est ainsi débarrassé des pressions désagréables que la ceinture peut exercer sur lui au repos, sans pour autant que le bon fonctionnement de cette même ceinture ne soit compromis. The use of the device of the present invention is very simple: this device is installed in the manner illustrated in FIG. 2, very close to the point of return of the automatic belt retractor, on the user side, so as to leave a slight slack at the waist, for example five to ten centimeters. The user is thus rid of the unpleasant pressures that the belt can exert on him at rest, without however that the proper functioning of this same belt is compromised.

Bien entendu, la présente invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation décrit, mais s'étend à toutes variantes conformes à son esprit.  Of course, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described, but extends to all variants in accordance with its spirit.
