Rotational vehicle restraint system

A vehicle restraint system, comprising:

• an anchoring component configured to be attached to a vehicle seat assembly;
• a rotatable component attached to the anchoring component and configured to rotate relative to the anchoring component about an axis of rotation, the rotatable component including a receiving surface configured to receive and support the back of a passenger sitting in the vehicle seat assembly;
• a harness connected to the rotatable component and configured to hold the passenger;
• and
• a guide track and a guide device portion configured to necessarily move along the guide track, the guide track configured to guide the movement of the guide device portion during rotation of the rotatable component relative to the anchoring component;
• wherein the rotatable component is configured to rotate, along with the passenger, from a first position, corresponding to an upright position of the passenger when held by the harness, to a second position, corresponding to a lying down position of the passenger when held by the harness, wherein the passenger is held by and does not rotate relative to the harness during the rotation from the upright to the lying down position, and the receiving surface is configured to receive the back of the passenger during the rotation.

A vehicle restraint system, comprising:

• means for anchoring a means for rotating to a vehicle seat assembly;
• the means for rotating, the means for rotating for rotating a means for harnessing, relative to the means for anchoring, about an axis of rotation, the means for rotating including a means for receiving and supporting the back of a passenger sitting in the vehicle seat assembly;
• the means for harnessing the passenger, the means for harnessing connected to the means for rotating;
• and
• means for guiding the movement of a means for moving, the means for moving configured to necessarily move along the means for guiding during rotation of the means for harnessing by the means for rotating relative to the means for anchoring;
• wherein the means for rotating is configured to rotate the means for harnessing from a first position corresponding to an upright position of the passenger, when harnessed by the means for harnessing, to a second position corresponding to a lying down position of the passenger, when harnessed by the means for harnessing, the means for harnessing the passenger, and not rotating relative to the passenger, during the rotation from the upright position to the lying down position, and the means for receiving being configured to continue receiving the back of the passenger during the rotation.
