  • Air bag system
    Patent number: 5709404
    Abstract: An improved air bag system comprises a supplemental switch structure incorporated into the user's seat for delivering a current to the conventional air bag system irrespective of seat belt engagement. The structure includes an arcuate flexible band coupled to a horizontal band, the latter engaging a spring biased button of a switch. The switch is incorporated into the seat belt circuitry such that a current flows therethrough upon switch closure irrespective of seat belt engagement. The current flow to the air bag system places the air bag system in a ready mode so as to cause air bag inflation upon a sufficient impact of the vehicle bumper with another object.
