ABSTRACT:
An energy absorbing device with torso displacement limiter to be applied to any seatbelt model is characterized by a laminated plate conveniently fastened to a retractor body of a seatbelt. The device presents predetermined resistance and malleability characteristics and is provided with a convenient number of folds arranged in parallel with respect to each other and transversally with respect to the longitudinal axis of the plate. The folds, when submitted to a certain traction strength resulting from a strong collision or sudden deceleration of a vehicle in which they are being used, are gradually unfolded, causing a gradual increase in the length of plate.
