Definitions
- ABSTRACT 1 This invention relates to a car safety belt, constituted Sept, 2, i970 France ..7()3l952 by a d agona ele ent com ed ith a Subabdom a element by a means for selectively maintaining the ..297/3i96,22b9;/53/2(5) Orientation of the two elements of the be and y a buckle, the means for maintaining the Orientation of [58] Field of Search "297/385 384 the two elements being constituted by a sleeve which concomitantly envelops the elements, one of the ends [56] References C'ted of which abuts on the buckle and the other end of UNITED STATES PATENTS which holds the zone of intersection of the two elements in the preferred position.
- Belts are known in particular, which are constituted of a diagonal element, or cross-belt, and a sub-abdominal element, having the disadvantage of allowing risks of serious injury in the neck region following the displacement of the diagonal element under the effect of the tension of the strap subjected to the forces of inertia developed upon sharp decelerations.
- This means is constituted by a sleeve member which concomitantly envelops the two elements at least partially, one of the ends of which is in abutment on the buckle and the other end of which holds the zone of intersection of the two elements in the preferred position.
- the sleeve is advantageously made of a deformable, very resilient material.
- the single FIGURE is a front view of the general arrangement of a safety belt according to the invention.
- a silhouette of a traveller l is shown, sitting in the interior 2 of a car comprising a structure 3.
- the safety belt shown in solid lines in constituted, in known manner, by a diagonal element 4, fixed to the structure 3 by an attachment 5 and by a sub-abdominal element 6 fixed to the structure 3 by an attachment 7.
- the elements 4 and 6 generally form two parts of the same strap connected at the buckle 8 of the belt to a last strap element 9 fixed to the structure 3 by the attachment 10.
- the diagonal element 4 is disposed in the zone 11 at right angles to the travellers neck.
- the Applicants have thought to connect the elements 4 and 6 over a length L which IS common to each, starting from the buckle 8. To this end, they inserted said elements 4 and 6 in a sleeve 12 which abuts on the buckle 8. They therefore obtained a modification of the general arrangement of the elements which then take the respective conformation 4a, 6a which has been shown in dashed lines. A displacement of the zone of the diagonal element is also ascertained, which, before, was disposed at right angles to the travellers neck and is now located at 11a at right angles to the shoulder.
- the sleeve 12 is advantageously and preferably made of a deformable, very resilient material (rubber, plastics material, leather, fabrics or the like).
- a car safety belt of the "three points type comprising a diagonal element, a sub-abdominal element, means for selectively maintaining the orientation of said diagonal element and said sub-abdominal element, and a buckle, wherein said means for maintaining said orientation of said two elements comprises a sleeve which concomitantly envelops said two elements at least partially, whereby when one of the ends of said sleeve abuts said buckle, the second end of said sleeve holds the zone of intersection of said two elements in a predetermined position.
