Description:? BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:

It is widely known that a seat belt can minimize the injuries to the driver in
case of a vehicle crash. The traffic law requires the driver to wear a seat belt.
However, unfortunately there are still some people who do not fully
appreciate the importance of the seat belt and fail to wear the seat belt when
traveling in a car. The role of the car seat belt is to ensure passenger and driver
safety, when the vehicle crashes and the bodies of the driver and passenger
would have been thrown out of the car if they weren’t strapped to the car’s
seat with the help of a seat belt.

In India, approximately 1.5 Lac people die in a year in road accidents due to
non-wearing of seat belts. According to statistics from MORTH (Ministry of
Road Transport & Highways) 16873 people died in road accidents in the year
2017 due to non-wearing of seat belts. Serious injuries and fatalities in the
accidents can be decreased, if the driver wears the seat belt. Drivers are
unaware about the importance of seat belts and its functionality. Therefore,
they do not prefer to fasten the seat belts and they risk the life of all passengers
unintentionally.

Due to the improvement of the car seat belt performance requirements, testing
is becoming an increasingly complex and onerous task. To meet the
requirements of a safe car, bands, grades need to pull dynamic tests and
durability tests, the test needs to have seat belts, fake chest modal auxiliary
test. Fake chest belt auxiliary test model is the model replica of the human
breast shape and weight, whose main role is to meet the car seat belt
according to the actual job requirements, to ensure the authenticity and
accuracy of the test.

A number of seat belt testing mechanisms are available in the prior art.

https://www.seatbeltconvincer.com/ displays the seat belt convincer which
had been developed to educate the general public of how beneficial the use
of seat belts can be even when involved in a low-speed collision. It allows the
rider to experience the surprising amount of force generated and safely feel
the real impact of a car crash at low speed.

Although a number of seat belts, their mechanisms and methods for testing
their security are available in the prior art, none of these disclosures provide
some arrangement or model which displays the practicality and functionality
of the seat belt and the consequences occurring by not wearing seat belts. A
few videos and advertisements are available which spread seat belt
awareness, their importance and urge people to wear seat belts, but their
impact is short lived. The seat belt convincer although tries to give the driver
the real impact of a car crash at low speed, is a single seater device due to
which the impact on the passenger sitting in the front cannot be experienced
and has a low inclination due to which very less impact is felt and impact
without a seat belt cannot be displayed. Hence a mechanism which displays the impact due to accidents on straight as well as inclined structures, which
demonstrates the impact of a crash when driving without wearing a seatbelt
(by using a dummy) and which also displays the impact of a crash on the
passenger (another dummy) sitting beside the driver, is the need of the day.

? OBJECT OF THE INVENTION:

The main object of the present invention is to provide a seat belt persuader
that persuades the driver and passengers of a car to wear a seat belt by
demonstrating the impact of collision when not using the seat belt.

Another object of the present invention is to display the importance of seat
belts thereby preventing passengers from being thrown out of the car during
collision due to impact.Still another object of the present invention is to
provide a seat belt persuader that gives practical demonstration of the
functionality of seat belts.

Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a seat belt persuader
that spreads seat belt awareness to the public.

A further object of the present invention is to provide a seat belt persuader
with inclination and straight mode for showing proper effect during both
types of collision.

A further object of the present invention is to provide a seat belt persuader
which demonstrates the effect of the collision on both the driver and the
passenger seated beside the driver one with seat belt and another without seat
belt.

A yet further object of the present invention is to provide a seat belt persuader
to induce increased vehicular seat belt usage without inhibiting essential
operational capability of the vehicle.

Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a seat belt persuader
which shows the benefits of airbags which are released when there is a
collision and protects the driver from banging hard against the steering wheel.

? SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION:

The present invention describes a seat belt persuader which is a dual seat
persuader with straight and inclination structure in which on one seat is seated
a dummy (mannequin) without a seat belt and on the other seat is seated

another dummy (mannequin) or human with a seat belt. The seats are
mounted on a trolley which is locked on a sliding rail. Upon unlocking, the
trolley slides on the sliding rail at the speed of 8 kmph and crashes with the
impact absorbent plate. Due to the impact, the dummy without the seat belt
gets thrown away while the human or dummy with the seat belt remains
securely seated due to wearing of the seat belt. This demonstration persuades
the on-looker to always wear the seat belt while driving or sitting beside the
driver.

? DETAILED DESCRIPTION:

The nature of the invention and the manner in which it is performed is clearly described in the specification. The invention has various components and
they are clearly described in the following pages of the complete
specification.

Accidents are common nowadays, most of which are caused due to
negligence on the part of the driver and the passenger of the vehicle. One of
the most common neglected attributes by a driver or passenger is non-wearing
a seatbelt. Drivers and passengers knowingly or unknowingly refrain from
wearing a seat belt due to which during collisions, they are thrown out of the
vehicle and are seriously injured or die immediately.

The present invention provides a seat belt persuader which gives live
demonstration to the public regarding the impacts of traveling in a vehicle
with or without a seat belt. Fig. 1 gives the side view of the seat belt persuader
while fig. 2 gives the front view of the seat belt persuader. It is a dual seat
persuader, as shown in fig. 3 with straight or inclination structure of seat belt
in which a dummy (mannequin) is placed on one seat without the seat belt
and another dummy (mannequin) or human is placed/seated fastened on the
other seat with the seat belt. Both the seats slide together

and crash with a speed of 8 km/hr on the impact absorbent plate. The dummy
without the seat belt is thrown away while the dummy / human with the seat
belt remains safely seated because of the fastened seat belt.

The various components of the present invention are as follows:

1. Trolley – The trolley (1) is mounted with 2 or 4 seats and the trolley with
the participants, slides on the sliding rail (3).
2. Trolley lock – The trolley lock (2) is used to lock the trolley when
stationary which is released when the model is used for demonstration of
collision impact.
3. Sliding rail – The sliding rail (3) is the path on which the trolley (1) with
its occupants, slides.
4. Impact absorbent plate – The trolley, after sliding on the sliding rail at a
speed of 8 kmph, crashes with the impact absorbent plate (4).
5. Electric motor – An electric motor (5) is used to reverse back the trolley
(1) to its starting position.
6. Pulling cable – Pulling cable (6) helps in reversing the trolley (1) back to
its starting position.
7. 2/4 Seats – 2/4 seats (7) are provided in the trolley (1) for dummies (8)
and/or humans to take part in the demonstration.
8. Dummies – 1/2 dummies (8) are placed in the trolley (1) for practically
demonstrating the impact of a collision.
9. Seat belts – Seat belts (9) are installed in both straight and inclined
positions on all the seats for protection of the seated dummy/human.

The seat belt persuader of the present invention demonstrates the importance
of wearing the seat belt in the following manner:

(i) Initially the trolley (1) with 2 seats (7) is fastened with the trolley lock
(2) at the stationary position.
(ii) A dummy (8) is seated without a seat belt (9) in one of the seats (7)
and a human / another dummy (8) with seat belt (9) fastened, in both
straight and inclined positions, is seated on the other seat (7).
(iii) After confirming the properly fastened seat belt (9), the trolley
lock (2) is released and the trolley (1) slides on the sliding rail (3) at a
speed of 8 kmph and crashes with the impact absorbent plate (4).
(iv) Due to the impact the dummy (8) without the seat belt (9) is
thrown out of the trolley (1) while the dummy (8) / human with the
seat belt (9) remains seated.
(v) The seated dummy (8) / human is taken away / walks away after
removing the seat belt (9).

(vi) The trolley (1) is brought back to its original (stationary)
position by the electric motor (5) with the help of the pulling cable (6)
which parts are displayed in Fig. 4.

This demonstration effectively conveys the message to the observers and the
participants that non-wearing of seat belt throws the person out of the seat
during collisions while proper fastening of a seat belt secures the person on
the seat during collisions. The trolley can be equipped with 4 seats instead of
2 seats to demonstrate the impact of collisions to more people at a time.
The mode of operation of the seat belt persuader is described by taking two
different examples.
1) In the first example the seat belt persuader, consisting of a dual seat
persuader with straight and incline structure of seat belt, has a dummy
(mannequin) without seat belt in one seat and human with seat belt in the
other seat. Both the seats slide and crash at a speed of 8 kmph. By this impact,
the dummy without a seat belt is thrown out and the human with a seat belt
is safe on the seat because the seat belt was fastened.

2) In the second example the seat belt persuader comprises a dual seat
persuader with straight and incline structure of seat belt, has dummy
(mannequin) without seat belt in one seat and dummy (mannequin) with seat
belt in the other seat. Both the seats slide and crash at a speed of 8 kmph. By

this impact, the dummy without a seat belt is thrown out and the dummy with
a seat belt is safe on the seat because the seat belt was fastened. The present
invention is highly advantageous because using a practical method it easily
demonstrates the importance of wearing a seat belt while traveling in a car
because the dummy without the seat belt gets thrown away and the human or
dummy with seat belt feels the impact and is safe on the seat. It shows the
practical functionality and importance of wearing the seat belt.
