ABSTRACT:
A safety belt is provided with an accessory that can be actuated in emergency situations to sever the belt and allow the belt user to be freed from the belt. This accessory has a pair of parallel blades one of which may be pulled along the other to sever the belt scissor-fashion when a force exceeding a predetermined minimum force is exerted on the blade pull. The movable blade may be spring-loaded so that simple actuation of a pushbutton or withdrawal of an operating pin allows the springs to push the movable blade across the fixed blade and sever the belt. Such an accessory is mounted on the seat belt in the middle of the chest of the user to make it readily accessible to the user or a rescuer in an emergency situation.
