DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a tightening cushion cover for a vehicle seatbelt which is detachably mounted on a vehicle seatbelt and used for improving the wearing property and safety of the seatbelt.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An automobile seat belt is a long one in which a chest belt obliquely hung on the chest of a person sitting on a seat and a belly belt passed to a front part of a lower abdomen are integrally set on a vehicle body side and can be pulled out and returned. A belt buckle part in the middle of the belt body is detachably engaged with a buckle engaging part on the seat side to be worn, so that the occupant can travel safely. And it is obligatory to wear it when traveling.

[0003]

The above-mentioned automobile seat belts are worn in such a manner that a naked belt is wrapped around the body, so that in the event of a collision, an excessive impact force is generated on the narrow width belt and transmitted directly to the body. Since the body will be subjected to strong local momentary impacts, it may cause injuries, such as a thoracic fracture.

Further, an automobile seat belt directly wraps a naked belt around a body, and in the wrapped state, is pulled and urged by a "spring biasing force" into a belt end storage case on the vehicle body side. Therefore, since the seat belt is tightened to the wearer during the ride and the freedom of the wearer's body is restrained, a feeling of repelling is generated, and when a pass ticket is taken from a pass ticket issuance post on a highway, However, when the driver checks the vehicle backward when the vehicle starts moving backward, it is difficult to perform such operations, and it is necessary to intentionally hold the seat belt by hand, pull it out, and loosen it.

[0005] Further, since the conventional automobile seat belt directly wraps the naked belt around the body, if it comes into direct contact with the body-exposed portion of a woman or the like, or comes into direct contact with high-grade thin clothing, it takes a long time to ride. In addition, there is a problem that skin and clothes are damaged due to friction with a seat belt due to vibrations and body movements during riding.

The present invention is to provide a tightening adjustment cushion cover for an automobile seatbelt which solves the above-mentioned problems.

[0007]

The vehicle seat belt tightening and adjusting cushion cover of the present invention which solves the above technical problem is a vehicle which is pulled out from the vehicle body side and hung obliquely on the front part of the chest of a person sitting on the vehicle seat. A flexible and flexible cushion cover that is detachably attached to a chest belt of a seat belt, and has a belt storage portion in a longitudinal direction continuously between a skin and a back skin for flattening and housing the chest belt. The back skin on the wearer side is provided with a swollen band-shaped cushion portion on the outer periphery, and the outer skin is configured to open and close the belt storage portion along the longitudinal direction so as to be locked and released freely. A structure comprising a pair of lid pieces having a closing lock means, and holding the thoracic belt in the belt storage portion to be stored and worn ”.

That is, the tightening cushion cover for a vehicle seat belt according to the present invention prevents the relative slip between the chest belt being worn and the tightening cushion cover by storing the chest belt in the belt storage section. Set the chest belt in a slightly loosened state with respect to the wearer's chest, maintain the relaxed state to enable safe riding, and interpose a band-shaped cushion between the chest belt and the wearer's chest. It is characterized by a structure that buffers the impact in the event of an accident.

[0009]

The tightening cushion cover for an automobile seatbelt of the present invention having the above-described structure is set in such a manner that the chest belt is flattened and locked in the belt storage section of the band-shaped sheath, and is stored in the belt storage section. Even if the chest belt is subjected to the pulling force, a large pull-out resistance is generated due to the frictional force with the peripheral surface of the belt storage portion. Therefore, if the upper end of the tightening adjustment cushion cover is joined to the seat belt hooking portion on the vehicle body side, the chest belt having the biasing force pulled back toward the vehicle body is stopped slipping by the frictional force, and is previously stopped against the chest. The slightly relaxed state of the chest belt is maintained, and the degree of tightening of the chest by the chest belt can be adjusted and set.

[0010] The relaxation set of the chest belt naturally adopts a small degree of relaxation enough to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems caused by the "pull-back biasing force of the chest belt". The seatbelt works well because it tightens to the chest beyond its relaxation.

Since there is a band-shaped cushion portion in contact with the wearer's chest, the impact force is absorbed and mitigated in the event of an accident to make the wearer safer and more effective, and to avoid direct contact with the naked belt. It can prevent skin and clothes from being damaged by wearing for a long time.

[0012]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. That is, the fastening cushion cover 1 for a vehicle seatbelt of this embodiment (hereinafter simply referred to as the cushion cover 1) penetrates and stores the “chest belt 10 of the vehicle seatbelt” in the gap between the skin 2 and the back skin 3. A flexible, flexible, band-like sheath that can be detachably attached to form a long body (approximately 0.8 meters in this embodiment) that can accommodate the entire length of the chest belt 10. ing.

More specifically, the back skin 3 is on the side in contact with the chest of the seatbelt wearer, and a buffer material such as "cotton, sponge body, soft rubber" or the like is put on the outer periphery and swells to form a continuous belt-like shape in the longitudinal direction. A cushion section 6 is provided. The outer skin 2 is composed of a pair of opposing lid pieces 4A and 4B that extend from both edges of the back skin 3 and can be locked and released at their tips.
It has an openable and closable structure in which the entire length in the longitudinal direction can be joined and locked by a chuck fastener 8 provided at the distal end of the A.4B so that it can be closed or opened. Then, between the outer skin 2 and the back skin 3 in the closed state is a belt-shaped belt storage portion 5 for flattening the chest belt 10 and storing it down, which is stored in the belt storage portion 5. The width of the chest belt 10 is reduced so that it does not easily move in the pulling direction.

Further, the cushion cover 1 of this embodiment
