  • Apparatus for encouraging seat belt use
    Patent number: 5394955
    Abstract: An apparatus for seat belt use encourages use without inducing extensive user resistance. A seat mounted switch detects occupancy of a seat and activates an inducement circuit; a seat belt latch mounted switch detects the fastening of a seat belt and completes the inducement circuit. The inducement circuit controls power to occupant comfort and convenience features of the automobile, notably radio, audio and heating/cooling systems. The automobile will continue to function if seat belts are not used, but at a generally undesirable loss of comfort and convenience features. Seat belt use occurs as it is less uncomfortable to use the seat belts than to omit use.
