ABSTRACT:
A method and system for generating a minimal amount of slack in a shoulder portion of a seat belt secured over a vehicle occupant to provide comfort and safety to the occupant without interfering with the function and operation of the seat belt. A signal processor is provided for processing control signals, some of which are generated in response to actions taken by the occupant. A pair of fingers grasp, extend, retract and release a shoulder portion of the seat belt in response to a first control signal. The fingers then re-grasp and re-extend the shoulder portion of the seat belt to a fully extended position, thereby providing the minimal amount of slack.
