ABSTRACT:
There is provided a passenger restraint safety system for a passenger type automobile having a chassis, a passenger seat and a door providing access to said passenger seat. The seat is mounted for free unrestrained forward movement on a track system which includes locking means to maintain said seat in a predetermined position. Forward of said seat is a safety cushion contoured to the body of a passenger in the seated position. Release means, which are activated by a collision of said automobile with another object, release the locking means positioning said seat allowing the seat to move forward thereby restraining the passenger between said seat and said safety cushion. To allow the passenger easy access to the interior of the automobile and to be seated therein, provision is made to collapse the safety cushion when the door is opened. Alternatively, to allow easy ingress and egress, the seat may be adapted to move rearwardly by electro-mechanical means upon the opening of the automobile door and, upon the closing of the door, the seat is returned to a predetermined position, or the passenger may activate the return to a desired position.
