Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to seat belts for automobiles and the like.

2. Description of the Related Art Seat belts in automobiles are regulated by law because they are difficult to wear, and the use of seat belts has become mandatory. However, even if it is regulated and wearability has improved, wearers still remain dissatisfied.

Problems to be Solved by the Present Invention Seat belts currently in use are made of hard fabric, with emphasis placed on safety. Therefore, when the tightening part of the seatbelt hits the neck area, the seatbelt tends to form, which is uncomfortable and especially painful for women. Furthermore, in the event of a traffic accident such as a collision, the seat belt tends to dig into the body, leaving scratches.

Therefore, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 54-71821 proposes a seat belt with a protective cover attached thereto. However, the protective cover covers the entire width of the seat belt and is bulky.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned problems, and in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a seat belt that fastens the human body to a seat of an automobile, etc. has a thickness
A seat belt for automobiles, etc., characterized in that it is coated with a soft material such as 0.5 to 1.5 mm felt or synthetic leather in a flat U-shape, and that the soft material such as felt or synthetic leather is waterproofed. is to provide.

Effects According to the present invention, even if the seat belt is placed around the neck when the seat belt is worn, the soft material such as thin felt or synthetic leather attached to the side edge of the seat belt It makes soft contact with the neck, etc., eliminating discomfort, and the shape of the seatbelt does not stick. Furthermore, in the event of a traffic accident, the soft material at the side ends of the seatbelt prevents the seatbelt from digging into the body, thereby preventing scratches and the like from occurring due to soft contact.

Furthermore, by applying waterproofing to the soft material, durability can be increased without adsorbing sweat, moisture, etc. of the passenger during times when sweating is likely, such as in summer.

Example The present invention will be explained below based on examples.

FIGS. 1 and 2 show an embodiment of the present invention.
The seat belt 1 is for automobiles, and is made by covering both ends of a conventional belt material 2 with a flexible soft material 3 such as felt in a U-shape as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. They are each attached by sewing along the belt 1 with thread 4. The soft material 3 such as felt has a thickness of about 0.5 to 1.5 mm (preferably 0.8 to 1.5 mm).
1.5 mm), so that it can be smoothly wound up and fed out by a winding device (not shown) for the seat belt 1, and the side ends have flexibility. The soft material 3 is waterproofed to prevent the sweat, moisture, etc. of the passenger from being adsorbed to the soft material 3 when the passenger is prone to perspiration, such as in the summer. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the central part of the seat belt 1 formed in this manner is coated with a wearing identification material 5 such as fluorescent paint or retroreflective paint, and is used at night to prevent the wearer from wearing a bronze glass or black window. Even if the seat belt 1 is worn in a car, it can be easily confirmed that the seat belt 1 is fastened.

In the above embodiment, the soft material can be made of synthetic leather or urethane warmer of the required softness to ensure durability, or the seat belt can be made with adhesive instead of sewing with thread. It can also be attached. Furthermore, although the wearing identification material such as fluorescent paint is provided at the center of the seat belt, it may also be provided diagonally or in a pattern at regular intervals as appropriate. Note that it is also possible to use fluorescent or retroreflective sewing thread to eliminate the above-mentioned wearing identification material.

Other Embodiments FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a thin cushion material 6 such as a urethane worm is interposed and attached to the inside of the soft material 3 described above.

In this embodiment, it is possible to further reduce the biting of the seat belt into the body during a collision, and it is possible to further prevent scratches from occurring.

In addition, in these embodiments, a patterned or colored soft material can be used.

In the embodiments described above, the soft material is attached to the entire length of the seat belt, but it may also be appropriately placed at the portion that comes into contact with the body.

Furthermore, although the embodiments have been described for automobiles, the present invention can be similarly applied to seat belts for vehicles such as airplanes and jet coasters at amusement parks.

Effects of the invention As described above, with the invention, even if the seatbelt comes around the neck, the seatbelt does not lose its shape, and there is no discomfort. Furthermore, even in the event of a traffic accident such as a collision, it is possible to prevent the seat belt from digging into the body as much as possible, and safety is maintained without causing scratches. In particular, since a soft material with a thickness of 0.5 to 1.5 mm is applied in a flat U-shape to both ends of the seat belt, it can be formed at low cost with less material, and the seat belt can be kept as thin as possible. It can also be wound onto a seatbelt retractor and sent out.
In addition, since the soft material mentioned above is waterproofed,
During times when sweating is easy, such as in the summer, the sweat and moisture of the passenger can be prevented from being adsorbed to the soft material, improving durability.
