ABSTRACT:
A seat belt alarm, for use with an existing seat belt having a tongue having a tongue flange extending laterally outward, and a buckle having a buckle housing, a front face having a slot for accepting the tongue and locking the tongue therein. The seat belt alarm has an L-shaped housing that selectively attaches beneath the buckle housing and extends alongside the buckle housing. When the L-shaped housing is so positioned, a plunger extends forwardly alongside the buckle housing so that when the tongue is within the slot the tongue flange keeps the plunger inward. If the seat belt is suddenly released and the tongue flange moves away from the front face, a switch in cooperation with the plunger triggers an audible warning.
