Occupant protection system

An occupant safety system comprising, in combination:

• a chair positioned inside a vehicle and having a seat portion and a backrest portion;
• said seat portion having a pair of leg clamp panels pivotally coupled thereto for locking a pair of legs to said seat portion;
• said backrest portion having a pair of arm clamp panels pivotally coupled thereto for pressing said arms and torso of a user towards said backrest;
• said seat portion having a housing extending downwardly therefrom, said housing having an interior, said housing having a battery, an oxygen tank, a water tank, and a transmitter disposed in said housing, said housing having an access panel on a front thereof for accessing said tanks, transmitter, and battery;
• said housing of said seat portion having a pair of ankle clamps pivotally coupled thereto for locking a pair of ankles to said housing;
• said backrest portion having a head abutting portion for helping prevent whiplash;
• one of said leg clamp panels having a visual being in communication with a camera positioned to receive images from outside of the vehicle, said visual display displaying said images from outside of said vehicle;
• a generally egg-shaped capsule coupled to said vehicle, said chair being disposed in said capsule, said capsule having a front opening for providing access to said chair;
• said capsule having a door portion for selectively closing said front opening of said capsule, said door portion being curved to match the contour of an inner surface of said capsule, said door portion being slidable along said inner surface of said capsule;
• said capsule having a pair of speakers therein;
• said capsule having an inner layer forming said inner surface of said capsule and comprising fiber glass;
• said capsule having a second layer adjacent said inner layer and comprising an air tube layer, said air tube layer having a plurality of air tubes being coupled together, said air tubes being filled with a nonflammable gas;
• said capsule having a third layer adjacent said second layer and comprising fiber glass for spreading out the point of impact of an object striking against the inner layer and pressing against said second layer;
• said capsule having a fourth layer adjacent said third layer and comprising an air bag filled with a non flammable gas;
• said capsule having a fifth layer adjacent said fourth layer and comprising a nonflammable foam rubber;
• said capsule having a sixth layer adjacent said fifth layer and comprising resiliently deformable rubber;
• said capsule having a seventh layer adjacent said sixth layer and comprising a crumple layer having first and second sides, said first side of said crumple layer having a plurality of spaced apart and substantially parallel channels extending therein, said second side of said crumple layer having a plurality of spaced apart and substantially parallel channels extending therein and alternating with said channels in said first side, said crumple layer comprising a high strength light weight aluminum;
• said capsule having an outer layer adjacent said seventh layer and comprising a high strength light weight aluminum;
• a raft in a folded orientation being removably disposed in said backrest of said chair, said raft being self-inflating upon actuating an inflation lever;
• said raft having a center console and a generally oval shaped inflated portion extending around said center console;
• said center console having upper and lower layers and an interior defined by said upper and lower layers, said upper layer having an opening for permitting entry of a user into said interior of said center console;
• said center console having a window portion with three transparent viewing panels;
• said center console having a pair of lights disposed on opposite sides of said window portion;
• and
• said center console having a pair of tether portions extending therefrom and adapted for coupling a line thereto.

An occupant safety system comprising, in combination:

• a chair coupled to an inside a vehicle and having a seat portion and a backrest portion;
• said seat portion having a pair of leg clamp panels pivotally coupled thereto for locking a pair of legs to said seat portion;
• said backrest portion having a pair of arm clamp panels pivotally coupled thereto for pressing said arms and torso of a user towards said backrest;
• a capsule coupled to said vehicle, said chair being disposed in said capsule, said capsule having a front opening for providing access to said chair;
• and
• wherein said capsule has an inner layer forming an inner surface of said capsule and comprising fiber glass, said capsule having an outer layer comprising a high strength light weight aluminum, said capsule having a second layer positioned between said inner and outer layers and comprising an air tube layer, said air tube layer having a plurality of air tubes being coupled together, said capsule having a third layer positioned between said inner and outer layers and comprising fiber glass, said capsule having a fourth layer positioned between said inner and outer layers and comprising an air bag, said capsule having a fifth layer positioned between said inner and outer layers and comprising foam rubber, said capsule having a sixth layer positioned between said inner and outer layers and comprising resiliently deformable rubber, said capsule having a seventh layer positioned between said inner and outer layers and comprising a crumple layer having first and second sides, said first side of said crumple layer having a plurality of spaced apart and substantially parallel channels extending therein, said second side of said crumple layer having a plurality of spaced apart and substantially parallel channels extending therein and alternating with said channels in said first side, said crumple layer comprising a high strength light weight aluminum.
