Abstract
Abstract An improvement in a vehicle seat rest having a shoulder belt, one end of which is fastened to said rest, toward the top thereof, said belt running obliquely across said rest to a belt lock on the opposed side thereof, said vehicle seat rest improved in that the vehicle seat rest has a rectangular frame and a rigid cross-stay running from the region of the point to which said belt is attached at the top of said rest obliquely in the same direction as said belt to the region of said belt lock. There is also disclosed the use of a cross-stay which is incompressible under maximum loading. Also disclosed is a rectangular frame having a deformable section therein.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
147 words
In a vehicle seat rest having a shoulder belt, one end of which is fastened to said rest, said belt running obliquely across said rest to a belt lock on the opposed side thereof, the improvement wherein said seat rest has a rectangular frame including two vertical sides, means disposed on one vertical side for effecting deformation thereof in response to a substantially perpendicular force applied to the opposite vertical side and means comprising a rigid cross-stay running from the region of the point to which said belt is attached obliquely in the same direction as said belt to the region of said belt lock for both preventing a reduction in the distance between the fastening points of the shoulder belt and maintaining a constant angle of application of the belt to the held body during application of the force and deformation of the one vertical side.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
147 words
In a vehicle seat rest having a shoulder belt, one end of which is fastened to said rest, said belt running obliquely across said rest to a belt lock on the opposed side thereof, the improvement wherein said seat rest has a rectangular frame including two vertical sides, means disposed on one vertical side for effecting deformation thereof in response to a substantially perpendicular force applied to the opposite vertical side and means comprising a rigid cross-stay running from the region of the point to which said belt is attached obliquely in the same direction as said belt to the region of said belt lock for both preventing a reduction in the distance between the fastening points of the shoulder belt and maintaining a constant angle of application of the belt to the held body during application of the force and deformation of the one vertical side.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
A vehicle seat rest according to claim 1 wherein the cross-stay comprises a single member.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
16 words
A vehicle seat rest according to claim 1 wherein said cross-stay is incompressible under maximum loading.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
35 words
A vehicle seat rest according to claim 1 wherein said vertical sides of the rectangular frame comprise a pair of opposed long sides, the long side opposite said belt lock having therein the deformable means.
