Description

[0015] FIG. 1 shows the solution in cross-section. A positioning spoke 11, that is positioned over a slot 14 being a part of a clasp element 1 is shown. As shown, a holding spoke 12 supports a holding tooth 6 embedded in a holding channel 15 being part of a holding shoulder 2, while a strengthening spoke 13 supports a strengthening tooth 7 embedded in a strengthening channel 16 being part of a strengthening shoulder 3. Furthermore, a compression spring 17 is shown positioned between the holding spoke 12 and the strengthening shoulder 3, and between the strengthening spoke 13 and the step shoulder 4. In the upper part of the body 5 a press button 8 is visible.

[0016] FIG. 2 shows separately a pressing element 9. A positioning spoke 11, a holding spoke 12 and a strengthening spoke 13 are shown which are connected to a bar 10 and jointly define a pressing element 9.

[0017] FIG. 3 is an illustration of a solution positioned within a housing 18. A clasp 19 and an opening 20 are shown. In this figure, a press button 8 and a positioning spoke 11 are shown.

[0018] In order to cease operation of a car seat belt, it is necessary to press the press button 8. As a result there occurs a pressure of the holding tooth 6 against the holding spoke 12 and a pressure of the strengthening tooth 7 against the strengthening spoke 13. Such pressure causes pressing of the compression spring 17. As a result the body 5 is separated from the clasp element 1.

[0019] The solution of the invention will be applicable in practice in any vehicle, without need for carrying out any special mounting work.

[0020] Car seat belt release 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. car accident or breakdown, when it is necessary to leave the car and when standard unfastening of the seat belt is not possible.
