ABSTRACT:
The invention is a novel seat belt releasing system for vehicles. The system comprises a series of vertically oriented seat belt straps suspended downward from the ceiling of a vehicle in connection with lateral members (such as netting). There are two straps per passenger including the driver. The seat belt releasing system comprises an inertial device which sends an electric signal upon receiving an inertial event. The signal charges a solenoid which releases a pair of sister hooks which in turn allow the main releasing member or coiled spring to be released upon this event thereby pulling on the cables. The cables in connection with the belts pull the belts and netting downward thereby preventing forward movement of the passengers as the netting is secured in front of each passenger. Resilient members are stretched alongside the straps when the seat belts are in the stored, at rest, position, in order to keep the length of the belts minimal.
