[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial application] This invention is a safety belt for passenger cars,
In particular, it relates to a safety belt having a flexible protective pad slidably mounted thereon to protect the user from the friction caused by the belt.

[0002]

[Prior Art and Problems to be Solved by the Invention]
Safety belts are for use in highway passenger cars to protect the user from injury in a traffic accident, and conventional safety belts are designed for this purpose. Obviously, a conventional safety belt is effective for such purpose. However, conventional safety belts are designed to protect users from serious injuries in major accidents such as collisions between vehicles, emergency stop of a vehicle that was running at high speed, and vehicle collision. ,
Emphasis is placed on strengthening the belt and reducing the inconvenience of using the belt.

As mentioned above, when the vehicle is being driven on a well paved road or highway, the conventional aspects of safety belts do not present a major drawback in protecting the user from serious injury in an accident. However, when the vehicle is operated off-road, swaying of unpaved pathways or paths can result in vibrations to the vehicle, especially when the vehicle is in high speed conditions. In such an environment, the safety belt rubs or rubs the user's shoulder and chest.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide an off-road vehicle such as a jeep or truck to protect the user from being injured by a safety belt due to the irregular shaking of the vehicle. Is to provide a safety belt with a protective pad.

Another object of the present invention is to be slidable thereon to protect the passengers of a passenger vehicle from friction when the vehicle is driven on poorly paved or unpaved roads and is therefore subject to severe vibrations. To provide a safety belt having various protective pads.

Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a safety belt with slidable pads to protect the passengers of a vehicle, especially the shoulders and chest, from friction in a traffic accident such as a crash or emergency deceleration. Is.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is fixed in a vehicle, guided by a guide member so as to extend over the shoulder of the user, and is installed in a storage bank installed in the vehicle. A retractable belt body and made of a flexible material, and when the safety belt is used, the shoulders and chest of the user to protect the user from rubbing when the vehicle is shaken violently. And a protective pad slidably mounted on the belt such that the pad is movable to extend substantially across.

Other advantages, features and objects of the present invention will be more readily understood as they become more apparent by reference to the following detailed description, which is considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

Referring to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1-5, in which a first embodiment of the invention is shown, like reference numerals refer to like parts. A safety belt with a protective pad, generally designated by the reference numeral 1, according to the invention comprises a belt body 2 on which a protective pad 3 is slidably mounted. Installation of the belt body 2 in the vehicle 8 is conventional and known to those skilled in the art. That is, one end of the belt body 2 is mounted on the vehicle body 8, and the other end thereof passes through the guide member 5 rotatably mounted on the vehicle body 8 to It can be stored in the formed storage bank. The buckle member 4 is slidably mounted on the belt 2 for hanging the belt body 2 on the user 9 and buckling it on its counterpart 41 (see FIG. 4). Further description is not important to the description of the invention, and no further details regarding it will be given. However, it should be noted that on the guide member 5 there is mounted a magnet holder 51 of inverted U-shaped cross section, in which a magnet 52 is fixed.

A concave second surface 32 constituted by a substantially flat first surface 31 and its concave cross section (FIGS. 1-5).
The protective pad 3 with and is preferably made of a flexible, lightweight material such as foam, the first surface 31
Has a groove extending along with the foam 30 of the pad 3. A hollow slide guide member 33 is received and fixed in this groove. The sliding guide member 33 includes an extension 3 that partially covers the upper end and the lower end of the pad 3.
4 and a slit 35 formed on its outer surface to allow the pad 3 to be installed on the belt body 2. The size of the sliding guide member 33 is set so that the pad 3 can slide along the belt body 2. The sliding guide member 3 or at least a part thereof, for example its extension 34, is made of a ferromagnetic material or a strong material such that it can be magnetically attached to the magnets 52 of the guide member 5 when the safety belt 1 of the invention is not in use. Made of a material that has a magnetic component.

As shown in FIG. 5 and described above, the pad 3 has its upper and lower ends slightly spread so as to fit more closely to the user's shoulder and less slip off from the user's shoulder. Has a concave cross section.

The foam 30 forming the pad 3 to make the protective pad 3 durable is made of polyurethane (PU) to reduce wear of the pad material resulting from contact with the user's skin or cloth. It is preferably covered and surrounded by the resulting synthetic leather 36, which further enhances the appearance of the pad 3.

A second embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. In this embodiment, the concave surface of the protective pad 3 has been replaced with a corrugated surface 37 for better ventilation of the user's skin. This is very practical in the summer or in tropical or subtropical regions. Similarly, the corrugated pad can be surrounded by synthetic leather 36.

The embodiments described above are for purposes of illustration and are not intended to limit the invention. It should be understood that many modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings. Therefore, it is to be understood that the present invention may be practiced within the scope of utility model registration claims other than those specifically described herein.
