Abstract
A safety belt has an inner face turned toward the body of a user and an outer face turned away from the user. A plurality of sensor are mounted on the outer face, and the inner face is devoid of sensors. A selector connected to the sensors determines which sensor is best positioned for signal quality and for using the signal therefrom.
Claims21
In a motor-vehicle safety belt having an inner face turned toward the body of a user and an outer face turned away from the user, a sensor arrangement comprising:
- at least one sensor on the outer face to detect one or more parameters of the user, the inner face being devoid of any sensor;
- the belt being reinforced at least adjacent the at least one sensor with filaments of greater strength than filaments otherwise forming the belt.
In a motor-vehicle safety belt having an inner face turned toward the body of a user and an outer face turned away from the user, a sensor arrangement comprising:
- at least one sensor on the outer face to detect one or more parameters of the user, the inner face being devoid of any sensor;
- and
- conductors integrated into the belt and connected to the at least one sensor and detection circuitry.
