【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、自動車のシートベルト用の装着補助具に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、実開平6−79668号公報で、自動車のシートベルトの装着補助器が提案されている。
この従来例は、楕円の輪に紐をつけた構造のもので、この輪にシートベルトを通して、シートベルトの装着時に紐を引っ張り、シートベルトをくの字型に引っ張ることにより、身長の低い着席者でも容易にシートベルトを装着することができるようにしたものである。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし、この従来例は、装着時にはシートベルトをくの字型に一時的に引っ張るが、装着後には手から紐を離し、シートベルトを元の状態に戻し、くの字型に引っ張っている状態を維持しないため、シートベルト装着後に身長の低い着席者が、シートベルトを装着し続けること困難であるという問題点があった。
そこで、本発明は、シートベルトを装着後においても、シートベルトを引っ張った状態に維持し、身長の低い着席者も容易に装着し続けることができるシートベルトの装着補助具を提供することを目的とする。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
請求項1の本発明は、ループ状の紐部と、前記ループ状の紐部の両端部を留める留板部と、から成り、
前記ループ状の紐部内に自動車のシートベルトが通され、前記紐部が前記自動車のシートの背もたれ部と腰掛部との間に挟まれ、前記留板部が前記背もたれ部と前記腰掛部の両者により支持され、前記ループ状の紐部が前記シートベルトを引っ張った状態で着席者に装着されることを特徴とするシートベルト用装着補助具である。
【0005】
請求項2の本発明は、ループ状の紐部と、前記ループ状の紐部に接続されるバンド部と、前記バンド部に接続される留板部と、から成り、
前記ループ状の紐部内に自動車のシートベルトが通され、前記バンド部が前記自動車のシートの背もたれ部と腰掛部との間に挟まれ、前記留板部が前記背もたれ部と前記腰掛部の両者により支持され、前記ループ状の紐部が前記シートベルトを引っ張った状態で着席者に装着されることを特徴とするシートベルト用装着補助具である。
【0006】
請求項3の本発明は、自動車のシートベルトが通過する切れ目を有するループ部と、前記ループ部に接続されるバンド部と、前記バンド部に接続される留板部と、から成り、
前記ループ部内に前記切れ目を通過して前記シートベルトが通され、前記バンド部が前記自動車のシートの背もたれ部と腰掛部との間に挟まれ、前記留板部が前記背もたれ部と前記腰掛部の両者により支持され、前記ループ部が前記シートベルトを引っ張った状態で着席者に装着されることを特徴とするシートベルト用装着補助具である。
