Abstract: A passenger restraint including a buckle, a locking arm, a power supply, a bracket, a mount, and a rod. The buckle has a top surface, front surface and a button integral with the front surface, where the button is capable of being depressed. The bracket is secured to the locking arm. The power supply is secured to the mount and the bracket is secured to and pivotable about the mount. The rod is affixed to the bracket and the rod is secured to the power supply. The locking arm is in an open position until an electrical signal from the power supply is applied, such that when an electrical signal is applied, the rod is operatively arranged to extend outwardly from the power supply, such that when the rod extends outwardly, the bracket pivots forcing the locking arm downwardly into an opening of the buckle and into a closed position.

Abstract: A passenger restraint including a buckle, a locking arm, a power supply, a bracket, a mount, and a rod. The buckle has a button capable of being depressed. The locking arm has first and second extensions extending outwardly therefrom, and first and second prongs extending downwardly from the first and second extensions, respectively. The buckle includes an opening arranged to receive the first and second prongs. Furthermore, there is a bracket secured to the locking arm, a mount having first and second mount sides and first and second mount side fastening means. The power supply is secured to the mount and the bracket is secured to and pivotable about the mount via first and second mount side fastening means. The locking arm is in an open position but when an electrical signal is applied the locking arm extends downwardly into the opening of the buckle into a closed position.
