A device for controlling the correct operating state of a restraining harness, intended for a safety seat, including at least one retaining strap that is under tension when the harness is in the state of restraining the occupant, the device being intended to be disposed in a predefined area of the latter, the device including: at least one sensor device including an elongate flexible element that is suitable for being positioned on the strap, and in particular rigidly connected thereto in the predefined area, and that is provided with a measuring system to measure, in the predefined area, at least a level of bending and/or tilting of the strap, a device to collect values linked to the level of bending and/or tilting, and internal or external device configured to analyze the values and of communicating with a receiver for receiving information on the operating state of the retaining harness.
A device for checking that a securing harness, for a safety seat, including at least one retaining strap subjected to tension when the harness is in the state of holding an occupant, is in a correct operational condition, wherein said device is configured to be installed in a determined area of the strap, the device comprising:
A sensor device configured to implement a checking device for checking that a securing harness, for a safety seat, including at least one retaining strap subjected to tension when the harness is in the state of holding an occupant, is in a correct operational condition, said checking device configured to be installed in a determined area of the strap, the checking device comprising said sensor device, means able to obtain values relating to a level of flexion and/or inclination of the strap, and internal or external means able to analyse the values and to communicate to receiver means data concerning the operational condition of said securing harness, the sensor device comprising an elongated, flexible element which is positionable on said strap in said determined area, which has measuring means able to measure, in said determined area, said level of flexion and/or inclination of said strap.
