JPS61105254A - Device to allow clutching operation only when wearing safety belt of car - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To compel wearing a safety belt to improve safety of passengers, by forming a device where a clutch operation is impossible without wearing a safety belt by connecting electrically the safety belt and the clutch pedal. CONSTITUTION:At the beginning side of the turning route of a clutch pedal 51, is arranged a body 1 with U-shape section which consists of a plate 1A, and the right side and left side walls 1B and 1C at the end of the plate 1A. At the upper side of the wall 1B of the body 1 is formed an opening 1B', where a pedal go-down stopper 3 is furnished swaying freely. At the position of the crasp 3 outside the wall 1B, is fixed a frame 1D with a U-shape section, and the top of the stopper 3 is placed having a power of projecting into the body 1, by a spring 4 between the frame 1D and the stopper 3. At the top of the frame 1D is furnished an electromagnet 2 which draws the stopper 3 against the spring 4 when a current is applied, and the current is controlled to apply only when the beltside clasp 7 is engaged with the belt receptacle 8.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a device that makes it more effective to wear safety belts in automobiles. Police, traffic safety associations, etc. are calling on people every day to wear safety belts in automobiles, but it is not very effective. This seems to be because driving a car and safety belts are two different things.This invention utilizes the vertical movement of the clutch pedal to link the safety belt and clutch pedal electrically. The present invention, which is a device in which the clutch pedal cannot be depressed unless a belt is worn, and therefore the clutch cannot be operated unless a belt is worn, will be explained as follows based on the drawings. When the belt-side clasp (7) of the safety belt is inserted into the safety belt receiver (8), the electric wire (1) will be removed from the battery (12).
3.14), current flows from electrodes (9) to (11) (10
), the electromagnet (2) is activated, the petal processing clasp (3) is released, and the clutch pedal (5) can be depressed in the direction of the dotted arrow (6), allowing the safety belt to operate the clutch. When the belt side stopper (7) is removed from the belt holder (8), the current is cut off and the spring (4) of the petal lowering stopper is removed.
works and returns to the normal state (1) in the main body of Figure 1.As explained above, conventional safety belts have no relation to driving or running a car, but this invention connects the clutch pedal and the safety belt electrically. The engine runs, but the clutch cannot be operated and the vehicle cannot drive.

Therefore, wearing a safety belt is effective.
