TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present disclosure relates to an anchor pretensioner bracket to achieve maximum belt wrap around a pelvis region of a passenger or driver.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Seat belts also known as safety belts, spelled seatbelts, and the like, are generally used in a vehicle safety device designed to secure a driver or a passenger of the vehicle against harmful movement that may result during a collision or a sudden stop. The seat belt reduces the likelihood of death or serious injury in a traffic collision by reducing the force of secondary impacts with interior strike hazards, by keeping occupants positioned correctly for maximum effectiveness of the airbag, and by preventing occupants being ejected from the vehicle in a crash or if the vehicle rolls over.
However, the conventional seat belt design does not provide better safety during the accident. Referring to FIG. 1, an anchor pretensioner bracket (100) with respect to prior art is shown. In the conventional design of the anchor pretensioner, the anchor pretensoner bracket (100) is mounted on a B-pillar of a lower trim which fails to provide better safety to the passenger or driver. Accordingly, there is a need of an improved design of the anchor pretensioner bracket to increase the safety of the passenger or driver during accident.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In one aspect of the present invention, a seat belt arrangement for a vehicle is provided. The seat belt arrangement includes a seat having a cross member thereof. The seat belt arrangement also includes a seat belt to secure a user on the seat of the vehicle. The seat belt arrangement further includes an anchor pretensioner bracket fixedly mounted to a cross member of a seat proximate a floor in such a manner that the mounting position of the anchor pretensioner bracket minimizes a gap between a pelvis region of the user and the seat belt.
According to the present invention, the anchor pretensioner bracket is fixedly mounted to the cross member of the seat proximate a floor.
According to the present invention, the seat belt arrangement is mounted on front seats of the vehicle.
According to the present invention, the seat belt arrangement is mounted on rear seats of the vehicle.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of an anchor pretensioner bracket of prior art; and
FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of an anchor pretensioner bracket in accordance with the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments, of the present disclosure, will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawing.
Embodiments are provided so as to thoroughly and fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to the person skilled in the art. Numerous details are set forth relating to specific components to provide a complete understanding of embodiments of the present disclosure. It will be apparent to the person skilled in the art that the details provided in the embodiments should not be construed to limit the scope of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, well-known processes, well-known apparatus structures, and well-known techniques are not described in detail.
The terminology used, in the present disclosure, is only for the purpose of explaining a particular embodiment and such terminology shall not be considered to limit the scope of the present disclosure. As used in the present disclosure, the forms “a,” “an,” and “the” may be intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly suggests otherwise. The terms “comprises,” “comprising,” “including,” and “having,” are open ended transitional phrases and therefore specify the presence of stated elements, modules, units and/or components, but do not forbid the presence or addition of one or more other elements, components, and/or groups thereof.
The present invention realtes to an anchor pretensioner bracket to achieve maximum belt wrap around a pelvis region of a passenger or driver.
Referring to FIG. 1, an anchor pretensioner bracket (100) with respect to prior art is shown. The conventional mounting position of the anchor pretensioner bracket has much larger gap between a seat belt and a pelvis region of a passenger or a driver which may increase a possibility of pelvis displacement during accident, thus, causing serious injuries to the passenger or driver.
Referrring to FIG. 2, a seat belt arrangement (201) for a vehicle in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The seat belt arrangement (201) includes a seat having a cross member (202) thereof. The seat belt arrangement (201) also includes a seat belt to secure a user on the seat of the vehicle. The seat belt arrangement (201) further includes an anchor pretensioner bracket (200) fixedly mounted to the cross member (202) of the seat proximate a floor in such a manner that the mounting position of the anchor pretensioner bracket (200) minimizes a gap between a pelvis region of the user and the seat belt. In this embodiment, the anchor pretensioner bracket (200) is mounted on a cross member (202) under a seat mounting and proximate a floor. This mounting position of the anchor pretensioner bracket (200) minimizes the gap between the pelvis region and the seat belt. Moreover, the gap between the pelvis region and the seat belt may be reduced further when the anchor pretensioner bracket (200) is disposed closer to the seat. In one embodiment of present invention, the seat belt arrangement (201) is mounted on front seats of the vehicle. In another embodiment of present invention, the seat belt arrangement (201) is mounted on rear seats of the vehicle. In other embodiment of present invention, the seat belt arrangement (201) is mounted on front and rear seats of the vehicle.
The seat belt arrangement (201) helps to achieve a maximum seat belt wrap around the pelvis region of the passenger or driver. The maximum seat belt wrap around the pelvis region minimizes the pelvis displacement during the accident, thus, better safety is achieved. Further, this arranegment provides better comfort to the passenger or driver by allowing maximum wrap around the pelvis region.
The embodiments herein and the various features and advantageous details thereof are explained with reference to the non-limiting embodiments in the following description. Descriptions of well-known components and processing techniques are omitted so as to not unnecessarily obscure the embodiments herein. The examples used herein are intended merely to facilitate an understanding of ways in which the embodiments herein may be practiced and to further enable those of skill in the art to practice the embodiments herein. Accordingly, the examples should not be construed as limiting the scope of the embodiments herein.
Any discussion of devices, articles or the like that has been included in this specification is solely for the purpose of providing a context for the disclosure. It is not to be taken as an admission that any or all of these matters form a part of the prior art base or were common general knowledge in the field relevant to the disclosure as it existed anywhere before the priority date of this application.
