  • Patent number: 6382730
    Abstract: A seat belt device is provided to increase user comfort by displacing the shoulder harness in a bow off the user. Three rigid pieces receive the seat belt system shoulder harness and maintain it in a flat position within the device. The pieces adjustably telescopically extend to provide a combined length causing the top end to bear upon the positioning member and the bottom end to bear upon the latching member, the continued extension forcing a bow into the device, thus displacing the shoulder harness from the user's body. One or more of the pieces can also be arcuately shaped to create a bow, either independently, or in addition to that created by extending the pieces. The device ends can be specially adapted to receive the positioning member and/or the latching member, and can be flexible to avoid belt twisting.
