CAR SEAT BELT RELEASE DEVICE

Abstract

An locking/unlocking device for a car seat belt that enables the driver and the passengers to get released from its operation in a situation of occurrence of a sudden event. The car seat belt release device has a clasp element and a body, releasably interconnected, and one of the two has slots and a channel, while the other one of the two has a base and a core, in the middle of which a shank opening is arranged, and shoulders at its both sides. When the body is assembled with the clasp element, in through holes with bolt recesses, as well as in locking openings with bolt tunnels, locking pins with bolts are positioned, wherein each bolt is maintained within a bolt ledge, causing thus pressing of a compression spring in a bottom section of the locking opening.

Description

[0020] The invention in an embodiment is presented in more detail in the drawings.

[0021] FIG. 1 presents the solution in all the three separate parts in the perspective view. The following may be seen: a body 1, a clasp element 8 and a movable pin 15. All the parts presented in this figure form a locking/unlocking device for a car seat belt.

[0022] FIG. 2 shows visually in more detail the solution and discloses a body 1 also in a top view. The body 1 is provided with a channel 2 comprising slots 2. Inside the channel 3 a closing shank 4 is arranged. Two locking openings 5 at the top of the body 1 may be seen. Each locking opening 5 has a bolt tunnel 6 therein.

[0023] FIG. 3 is also a top view, but of the clasp element 8. As shown, the clasp element 8 has a base 9, provided with two through holes 10 with bolt recesses 11. Between two through holes 10 with bolt recesses 11 a core 12 is positioned within which a rectangular shank opening 13 is arranged, and shoulders 14 arranged at its both sides.

[0024] FIG. 4 is a side view of the third element of the invention, which is a pin 15 that is provided with a compression spring 16 and a bolt 17. At the top of the pin 15 a cut 18 is shown.

[0025] FIG. 5 is a cross-section of the entire solution when assembled. The body 1, the clasp element 8 and the pin 15 are in this figure in an closed position. The compression spring 16 is in its pressed state. A bolt ledge 7 is marked in which a bolt 17 is provided. A component of the pin 15 being the compression spring 16 becomes pressed and this causes stable maintaining of the pin 15 within the construction, and thus stable maintaining of the entire solution in a closed position.

[0026] FIG. 6 presents also a cross-section of the entire solution when assembled, where the body 1 and the clasp element 8 may be seen, but in a situation when the pin has been slid out of the locking openings 5 and through holes 10. Removal of the pin from the locking opening 5 and the through hole 10 causes opening of the entire construction.

[0027] In another embodiment, not shown in the drawing, in lieu of the cut a pulling feature is provided.

[0028] The solution of the invention will be applicable in practice in any vehicle, without need for carrying out any special mounting work.

[0029] Car seat belt locking/unlocking device is an alternative for the existing solutions and allows for quick release of both the driver and the passengers from their seat belts in a situation of occurrence of a sudden event, e.g. collision, fire, breakdown or falling into water when it is necessary to leave the car and when standard unfastening of the seat belt is not possible.
