ABSTRACT:
An assembly for restraining the upper limbs of an occupant of a seat, particularly an aircraft ejector seat, includes a storage unit which is adapted to be fixedly secured to an upper back portion of the seat. The storage houses a pair of movable cover members and first and second bladder units. The cover members and bladder units are connected by means of straps to a quick release mechanism which mates with a corresponding fitting carried by the occupant and then to a fixed structure adjacent the seat. When it is desired to deploy the restraint assembly, a tension is applied to the straps which causes the cover members to extend around opposite sides and laterally inward of the occupant's body, about respective arms of the occupant, and the bladder units to extend about the occupant's neck. The bladder units are then inflated so as to permit undesirable movement of the occupant's head.
