An apparatus and method for assisted buckle release employing a generally C-shaped or U-shaped assistive device adapted to depress a buckle's release button, such as a button typical of a child car seat restraint harness, and thereby assist in unlocking the buckle.

An emergency seatbelt release apparatus is disclosed for use in a seatbelt mechanism. The release apparatus includes a release actuator coupled to a seatbelt locking member to facilitate selective unlocking of the seatbelt locking mechanism from a biased locked position.

A head restraint unit is configured to restrain the movement of a head of a user, and to be fixed to or to be integral with a vehicle seat. The head restraint unit includes a headrest member and two side portions extending therefrom. A restraining member is pivotally coupled to the two side portions to allow rotation between a maximal upward position and a maximal downward position. The head of the user is intended to be positioned within the confined space that is formed within the loop defined by the back portion, side portions and the head restraining member. In result to an extreme maneuver of the vehicle, the head of the user can maneuver in a non-safely manner that can damage his/her head or spine. The head restraining member is configured to restrain this extreme movement and to reduce of its risk.

A harness system with a buckle restraining function includes an upper buckle, an upper strap and a restraining assembly. The upper strap slidably passes through the upper buckle, and the upper strap includes a shoulder portion and a waist portion divided by the upper buckle. The restraining assembly utilizes an anti-sliding structure having a higher coefficient of friction to engage with the upper strap and further utilizes a stopping component to abut against the upper buckle. Therefore, the present invention can effectively restrain a sliding movement of the upper buckle relative to the upper strap and toward the shoulder portion by engagement of the anti-sliding structure and the upper strap and abutment of the stopping component and the upper buckle, which prevents an excessive decrease of a length of the shoulder portion of the upper strap and prevents a potential risk of injury of the passenger's upper body.

A safety device with a blade for severing a seatbelt during an emergency. The blade is movably affixed to a blade bar of the safety device, such that the blade can slide along a width of the seatbelt to cut through the seatbelt during an emergency. The safety device includes a housing configured to protect an individual from the blade when the safety device is not in use. The safety device is useful for escaping emergencies, such as automobile collisions and the like.

An emergency escape tool for quick escape from a crashed automobile includes a body member defining an interior area. The walls of the body member define a slot and a blade is mounted therein, the blade being capable of severing a seatbelt of the automobile. The emergency escape tool includes a hammerhead portion coupled to the upper end of the body member and having a conical shape and a tip extending away from the upper end that is operable to break the glass window of the automobile. An immersion sensor is coupled to the body member and operable to detect immersion in water. The body member may be coupled to a seat of the automobile. A discharge member is associated with the body member and is operable to release the body member away from a mounting portion if immersion in water is detected.
