ABSTRACT:
A vehicle safety belt test apparatus and method is described. The apparatus is comprised of a frame which is adapted to be positioned on a seat of a vehicle and disposed to distribute pressure substantially evenly on the seat. One or more pistons are secured to the frame and to a seat belt support curved member. The support curved member is adapted to receive opposed free ends of two spaced-apart seat belt portions of a seat belt thereover with a buckle of the seat belt securing the opposed free ends together. The seat belt portions are secured at a securing end to a frame of a vehicle. A pressure control device is provided to actuate the pistons to displace the seat belt support member relative to the frame whereby to exert a predetermined force on the seat belt portions to test the restraining strength of the seat belt.
