Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a seatbelt cover attached to a seatbelt (safety belt) in an automobile.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Automobiles are equipped with seat belts in their seats to protect the body and life of drivers and passengers in the event of a traffic accident. As the seat belt, a belt made of a hard material and formed in a thin belt shape is used.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 It cannot be denied that such a seat belt has a basic effect of protecting the body and life of a driver or a passenger in a traffic accident or the like, but conventional seat belts still have the following effects. There's a problem.

(A) Since the seat belt is formed in a thin band shape by using a hard material, the seat belt has a feeling of pressure on the shoulder, the chest, etc. of the human body when worn, and the skin is rubbed at the edge of the seat belt or when the back is checked. For example, the edge of the seat belt comes into contact with the chin or the like, which is uncomfortable.

(B) When a seat belt is actuated in a traffic accident or the like, traces of the seat belt may remain on the shoulders, chest, etc. of the human body in a bruise shape.

(C) Since the seat belt is difficult to remove from the vehicle, the seat belt must be used as it is even if dirt due to sweat or the like adheres, and is therefore unclean.

(D) The design of the seatbelt is uniform and tends to lack interest.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems in the conventional seat belt and to make the seat belt have a sunshade effect and the like.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides the following seat belt cover.

(1) A seat belt cover in which a cover member having cushioning properties and covering a human body contact portion of the seat belt is detachably attached to the seat belt.

(2) The cover member may be provided with a flexible shade sheet portion (claim 2).

(3) The shade sheet portion may be detachable from the cover member (claim 3).

[0013]

[Action]

 [Seat belt cover of claim 1] Since the cover member has a cushioning property and covers the human body contact portion of the seat belt, only the cover member having the cushioning property contacts the human body when worn, and the seat belt is hard. It does not come into contact with the human body. Since the cover member is detachable from the seat belt, the cover member can be appropriately removed from the seat belt and washed.

[0014] The flexible sunshade seat portion provided on the cover member acts as a sunshade for the human body. For example, in the case of an automobile driver, the sunshade seat prevents sunburn of the right body including the right hand. In addition, the sunshade seat prevents the cool air from the air conditioner from directly hitting the human body.

[0015] The awning seat portion is detachable from the cover member. Therefore, the awning seat portion is replaced or the awning seat portion is removed from the cover member, and the awning seat portion and the cover member are connected to each other. Can be separately washed.

[0016]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a cover member. The cover member 1 is formed of a material such as a washable cloth or a synthetic resin having a cushioning property. The cover member 1 covers a human body contact portion of the seat belt 3. The cover member 1 is detachably attached to the seat belt 3. That is, as an example, the cover member 1 is formed by folding a substantially rectangular body into two, and having surface fasteners 5a, 5b on the inner surfaces of the opposing side edges 1a, 1b. The belt 3 is attached to the seat belt 3 by being sandwiched between the seat belts 3 so as to cover the abutment portion of the belt 3 and engaging the surface fasteners 5a and 5b on the inner surfaces of the side edges 1a and 1b with each other. The cover member 1 may be colored, patterned, made of a material, or the like to enhance fashionability, have a logo mark or the like, or may be coated with a reflective paint or the like for safety during night driving. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 11 denotes a vehicle seat, and reference numeral 13 denotes a steering wheel.

The cover member 1 may be provided with a flexible shade sheet portion 7. The awning sheet portion 7 is formed of a flexible material such as cloth.

It is desirable that the sunshade sheet section 7 is detachable from the cover member 1. That is, as an example, a plurality of pairs of hooks 9a and 9b are attached to the side edge 1a or 1b of the cover member 1 and the corresponding edge 7a of the sunshade sheet portion 7, and the sunshade sheet portion 7 is attached via the hooks 9a and 9b. 1 is detachable.

[0019]

[Effects of the Invention] [Seat belt cover of claim 1] Since the cover member has cushioning properties and covers the human body contact portion of the seat belt, only the cover member having cushioning properties is applied to the human body when worn. The hard seat belt itself does not touch the human body. Therefore, the feeling of pressure on the shoulder, chest, etc. of the human body when worn is reduced. In addition, when the skin is rubbed at the edge of the seat belt or the rear is checked, the edge of the seat belt does not abut on the chin or the like, thereby giving no discomfort. Furthermore, when the seat belt is actuated in a traffic accident or the like, no trace of the seat belt is left on the shoulder, chest, etc. of the human body. Since the cover member is detachable from the seat belt, the cover member can be removed from the seat belt and washed as needed. The cover member may be colored, patterned, made of a material, etc. to enhance fashionability, be provided with a logo mark, or be coated with a reflective paint or the like for safety during nighttime operation.

[0020] The flexible sunshade seat portion provided on the cover member exerts a sunshade effect on the human body. For example, in the case of a driver of a right-hand drive vehicle, the sunshade seat prevents sunburn of the right half including the right hand. In addition, the sunshade seat prevents cold air from the air conditioner from directly hitting the human body.

[Claim 3] The awning sheet portion is detachable from the cover member, so that the awning sheet portion is replaced or the awning sheet portion is removed from the cover member, and the awning sheet portion and the cover member are connected to each other. Can be separately washed.
