DE202007006011U1 - Safety seat belt lock for motor vehicle, has electrical light source such as illuminant that blinks automatically after accident in time based manner, where illuminant is fitted/attached into/to release key of belt lock - Google Patents

Abstract

The lock has an electrical light source such as an illuminant that blinks automatically after accident in a time based manner. The illuminant is fitted/attached into/to a release key of the belt lock, where the illuminant blinks in red after the accident. The illuminant is attached to an electrical system or a sensor of a hazard warning light of a motor vehicle. The illuminant blinks after manual connection of the hazard warning light.

Description

The The invention relates to a seat belt buckle for a motor vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1.

It are some built in a variety of variations lighting in the seat belt buckle and / or its release button and the like. known.

These all have the same goal, namely that to buckle or unbuckle an occupant in the dark.

at an accident can often those under panic and / or shock and the like. occupants of such a crashed vehicle, the seat belt does not solve because in this situation, the opening process the seat belt is simply forgotten.

Also Here are some known systems, the belt buckle after an accident to open automatically, but that hides some disadvantages.

Some Solve systems After the first impact, the buckle, others in turn offset time Standstill of the accident vehicle, etc.

Even after the e.g. Time-delayed self-releasing of the seat belt is it can not be ruled out the few seconds after the crashed vehicle still another accident happens and thus the occupant or not strapped, e.g. in a series accident and the like.

Around in such a situation the manual opening of the seat belt will greatly facilitate and increase safety According to the protection claim 1, a light source in the belt buckle that blinks after an accident proposed.

flashing Light sources in the automotive sector are known, e.g. Turn signals around to indicate the direction of travel of a motor vehicle.

Also motor vehicles are equipped with a hazard warning device, e.g. to indicate a breakdown and the like.

at In both examples, the light source is briefly on a Relay is powered, so will blink the bulbs reached.

at an accident with a known state of the art Motor vehicle, switches e.g. automatically the hazard warning lights one to warn the following traffic as soon as possible.

Around a flashing of the electric bulbs in / on the seat belt buckle to automatically reach after an accident is preferably with the one for it force Means the bulbs to the electrical system of the automatic hazard warning lights connected.

As a general rule can the electrics of the lamps according to claim 1 to the hazard warning lights be connected, so even after manual power on of the hazard warning lights, the bulbs in the seat belt buckle flash.

The Flash of the bulbs in the buckle should preferably be the same blink like the hazard warning lights of a car, but generally at will can be controlled.

The Flashing light and / or their possibly cover in the buckle should be signal-colored, preferably be equipped in red, but in principle any Color may have.

There the shutter button in / on the seatbelt buckle is usually signal-colored, should the needed Bulbs are preferably introduced here, but in principle can be placed anywhere.

The possibly already conventional introduced buckle illumination can preferably after a e.g. Accident, switch from the e.g. Night lighting for flashing function, or from off night lighting to flashing after an accident and the like.

Preferably are the bulbs in the belt buckle protection claim 1 designed so that after an accident the luminosity of Blinking light much stronger is, as the conventional one Gurtschlossbeleuchtung.

So is it an event. Panicked inmates of an accident Vehicle much easier possible, the opening mechanism to find the seat belt to release the seat belt.

Also is it the event. First aiders of an accident vehicle easier possible the opening button to find a seatbelt lock around the seat belt to solve.

The invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments mentioned. Thus, it can be seen from the embodiments described above that the vehicle seat belt buckle of the present invention is equipped with a light source which automatically flashes after an accident basically any number of bulbs and also may have any shape and design.

Further can the arrangement of the bulbs and their required resources while fully maintaining the function of the inventive seat belt buckle for protection claim 1 of course against the featured embodiments changed without departing from the scope of the invention.
