ABSTRACT:
A seat belt pad with a padded area for abdominal support. There are two basic embodiments one for two-point seat belts and the other for three-point seat belts. The two-point belt has an oval shaped pad that has seat belt fittings on both sides of the pad. The vehicle's seat belts can then be clipped to the fittings on the pad. In this way, the pad, which is considerably larger than an ordinary seat belt, protects the user's abdomen. The pad is designed to have equal or greater strength than ordinary seat belts. The three point-pad has two outer bands that fit over an ordinary three-point seat belt. The bands have VELCRO attaches to close the bands around the seat belts. A layer of mesh extends between the belts and is used to support the user's abdomen.
