ABSTRACT:
A device for restraining movement of a driver's leg. A flexible elongated strap is extendable from a housing. The housing is mountable to the vehicle dashboard with the distal end of the strap being connectable to the seat belt provided for the driver. The strap extends from the dashboard toward the seat belt adjacent the driver's leg thereby restraining movement of the driver's leg in a direction toward the curb side of the vehicle. A spring is provided within the housing being connected between the housing and the strap. The spring is operable to retract the strap within the housing when the strap is not connected to the seat belt. A platform rotatably mounted within the housing supports the spring and strap allowing for relatively frictionless movement as the strap is extended or retracted. An adjusting means is mounted to the outer end portion of the strap allowing adjustment of the length of extension of the strap. The outer end portion of the strap is connectable to the seat belt by a hook mounted to the adjusting means engageable with a clip removably mountable to the driver's seat belt.
