Abstract

The system uses a control system actuated by an electrical press button which is located on the dashboard of the vehicle. The button is positioned close to the passengers and is connected to the electric or air operated servo system that is arranged in the female seat belt housing affixed to the seats or vehicle floor. Operation of the button releases all of the seat belts instantaneously. An automatic system may be included which releases the belts through operation of a shock detecting device. ADVANTAGE - Allows rapid release of seat belts after accident to release occupants in case of fire.

Description

DESCRIPTION
La présente invention concerne un dispositif avec commande centralisée, qui actionne le déverrouillage instantané des ceintures de sécurité des véhicules automobiles.DESCRIPTION
The present invention relates to a device with centralized control, which actuates the instantaneous unlocking of the seat belts of motor vehicles.

Normalement, le déverrouillage des ceintures de sécurité est effectué par une intervention directe du passager sur la partie femelle du mécanisme de blocage, fixé soit à l'armature du siège, soit sur le plancher du véhicule.Normally, the seat belts are unlocked by direct intervention by the passenger on the female part of the locking mechanism, fixed either to the seat frame or to the vehicle floor.

En utilisation habituelle, il n'est pas toujours évident de trouver, sans contorsion, le poussoir qui permet de se libérer de la ceinture.In normal use, it is not always easy to find, without contortion, the pusher that allows you to free yourself from the belt.

En cas d'accident, le déverrouillage par intervention manuelle de chaque passager sur le système de déblocage des ceintures peut éte rendu impossible, soit du fait de la position du véhicule, soit par les blessures-des occupants, consécutives aux chocs.In the event of an accident, unlocking by manual intervention of each passenger on the seat belt unlocking system may be made impossible, either due to the position of the vehicle, or by injuries to the occupants, following impacts.

L'impossibilité pour les passagers de se libérer rapidement des ceintures de sécurité, et en particulier pour les jeunes enfants installés à l'arrière et dont le port de la ceinture est obligatoire, retarde dangereusement l'évacuation du véhicule en cas de risques d'incendie et complique l'intervention des secours.The impossibility for passengers to quickly release seat belts, and in particular for young children installed in the back and whose wearing of the belt is compulsory, dangerously delays the evacuation of the vehicle in case of risk of fire and complicates emergency response.

Le dispositif, selon l'invention, permet de remédier à ces graves inconvénients. I1 comporte, sur la partie basse femelle du mécanisme qui verrouille la bande de ceinture, soit un électro-aimant, soit un système à dépression d'air qui assure, à la place du passager, l'effort nécessaire au déblocage des ceintures.The device according to the invention overcomes these serious drawbacks. I1 comprises, on the female lower part of the mechanism which locks the belt band, either an electromagnet, or an air vacuum system which ensures, in place of the passenger, the effort required to unlock the belts.

Le mécanisme est actionné par une impulsion électrique donnée par pression sur un bouton fixé sur le tableau de bord et aussi, éventuellement, à l'arrière du véhicule, à proximité de la main des passagers. Le bouton poussoir, visualisé par un pictogramme spécifique, s'intègre aux commandes classiques du tableau de bord, à côté des feux de détresse, par exemple
Le dispositif ne neutralise pas le fonctionnement manuel de déverrouillage qui reste libre de toute action directe des passagers.The mechanism is actuated by an electrical impulse given by pressing a button fixed on the dashboard and also, possibly, at the rear of the vehicle, near the hand of the passengers. The push button, visualized by a specific pictogram, integrates with the classic dashboard controls, next to the hazard lights, for example
The device does not neutralize the manual unlocking operation which remains free from any direct action by the passengers.

Complément important à la sécurité passive des passagers de véhicules automobiles, l'invention, objet des présentes, assure un confort quotidien aux automobilistes qui détachent leur ceinture par simple pression sur un bouton, sans contorsion, lors de chaque arrêt prolongé.An important complement to the passive safety of passengers in motor vehicles, the invention, the subject of these presents, provides daily comfort to motorists who detach their seat belts at the touch of a button, without contortion, during each prolonged stop.

Ce système peut être couplé avec un automatisme détecteur de chocs, qui déverrouillera automatiquement les ceintures. This system can be coupled with an automatic shock detector, which will automatically unlock the belts.
