Ingenious and practical, the Fire Safety Seat Belt has sensors around the car to tell the vehicle's computer to unlock the seat belts. When picking out your vehicle and wanting it fully loaded, drivers would definitely want this one extra safety mechanism, the Fire Safety Seat Belt. Not only would this device sense fires but is designed to sense the presence of excess water. This apparatus once sensing the vehicle is either on fire or flooding would release the seat belts and unlock the doors. This process would be lifesaving, allowing the individuals to easily get out of the vehicle and harm's way and to safety either by their own means or with aid of a good Samaritan. With the knowledge that you would be safe wearing your seat belt, without the potential of being stuck in the vehicle during an emergency, would also ease people's fears. Thus, this would help more individual's to make the choice to buckle up and potentially save more lives.

A vehicle safety release system effecting an automated release and having, inter alia, a seatbelt, an integrated circuit (control unit), a power source, a transmitter, and a collision detection sensor, is contemplated. The safety release system also contemplates a manual release built to work in tandem with the system's automated release. The safety release system may be operated by both a manual input and the input from one or more collision detection sensors. When a push button is depressed a signal is sent to the control unit to release the seatbelt. Aspects of embodiments of the invention also contemplate access to the seatbelt's base latch to enable removal, if needed.

Embodiments of the present disclosure include systems and methods for securing a rider inside a ride vehicle of an amusement park ride. For example, the disclosed systems and methods include a restraint system (e.g., lap belt, harness, restraint bar (e.g., lap bar, shoulder bar), and the like) that includes a locking mechanism that is activated and deactivated remotely. The remote release locking mechanism includes redundant latches (e.g., a primary latch and at least one secondary, redundant latch) and encompasses a relatively small amount of components housed in a relatively small amount of space.

Quick Release Buckle (QRB) is an automated seatbelt system. QRB utilizes a power source and control unit software incorporated into pre-existing components within the vehicle's transmission or by micro-switch. QRB automatically disengages the seatbelt upon placing the vehicle in “park”, regardless of the ignition setting for law enforcement/military vehicles. While in “park”, an electrical signal energizes a solenoid releasing the buckle. The control unit contains proprietary software that records every engage/disengage of the seatbelt. Electronic records can be downloaded at any time, using an integrated micro-scan disk (SD) module/card. During a collision, the system ceases to record activity, showing electronic proof the seatbelt was engaged/disengaged. Civilian application includes accident investigations, insurance inquiries, and private company regulation compliance. Civilian QRB differs slightly as the transmission must be placed in “park” and the ignition must be in “off” for system operation.

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 buckle for a seat belt, the buckle including an electro-mechanical mechanism being user operable to allow mechanical opening of the buckle.

A cutting mechanism (30) for a safety belt (10), the cutting mechanism (30) including a case (32), a passage (34) running through the case and making it possible to mount the cutting mechanism (30) on the belt (10) to be cut, and cutting elements (42) for the seatbelt (10), situated inside the case, the cutting elements (42) include a wire (44) and elements for heating (46) the wire. A process for cutting a safety belt (10), includes using a wire (44) and elements for heating (46) the wire in order to cut the belt with the heated wire.
