The present invention relates to a Seatbelt Adjuster in particular one that is design to extend the length of a seat belt for comfort.
Many people have a problem of seatbelts. There is the age-old problem of the seatbelt rubbing and hurting their necks. With so many different cars and so many different body types out there, an ordinary seatbelt can cause strain on the neck of not only larger people but smaller people as well.
There exists a need to make the standard seatbelts of a vehicle better fit and wear better while still offering protection. There is still room for improvement in the art.
The present invention is a device that allows the user to extend a standard seatbelt for more comfort while providing the same amount of safety. It is a seatbelt adjuster arm comprised a tongue (male connector) attached to a belt which has a latch plate (female end) at the other end. The latch plate has a seatbelt latch plate cover with a top and a bottom, a spring lock assembly and release button.
The seatbelt adjuster arm tongue and latch plate will be available in all the standard seatbelt sizes.
The tongue of the seatbelt adjuster arm will clip into the latch of the seatbelt of the vehicle seat that the user is going to seat in. The tongue of the standard seatbelt of the vehicle will clip into latch of the seatbelt adjuster arm extending the seatbelt and moving it several inches from the user's neck.
The current invention is more comfortable and functional than the current art.
Without restricting the full scope of this invention, the preferred form of this invention is illustrated in the following drawings:
