This invention can provide the many buses that are currently operating without seatbelts a cost effective means to obtain an approved seatbelt system.
About
Technology A novel seatbelt system has been developed that can be installed independent of the existing bus seats that did not have seatbelts. The invention can be adaptable for inter-city buses (coaches), as well as mid-sized buses and school buses. Most other seatbelt systems apply only to a specific seat design whereas this invention facilitates a seamless transition for the different seat configurations of the intended buses. Based on the design and condition of the sets, the strength of the support can be uniquely designed and customized to support the seatbelt design, while maintaining the integrity of the existing bus frame structure. Thus, this seatbelt system can be expected to be universal and economical.
