Benefits of technology

This patented technology helps prevent accidents caused when passengers get into their seats during rides without being aware they are wearing safety harnesses attached around them. It uses various types of sensor devices like pressure sensitive switches and cameras to detect if there's any problem with each part of this vestige. These systems can help operators better manage these things effectively while ensuring proper engagement between different parts of the vestiture.

Problems solved by technology

This patented describes how passengers may have their own safety belt attached around them during transportations without being able to adjust it manually due to factors like accidental falls. There currently available passenger restraining devices only provide one way to prevent these accidents but they still require manual intervention after some point of failure. Therefore there needs improvement over existing designs while maintaining effective security measures.

Embodiment Construction

[0015] With reference to the figures, the following describes exemplary passenger restraint systems. In this regard, the passenger restraint systems may be utilized in connection with a vehicle, such as found in an amusement ride, wherein each seat in the ride, which will be occupied by a guest, is fitted with several seatbelt components provided to restrain a guest within the seat. Generally, the seatbelt components include a seat belt (including a belt web 10 and a tongue 12 having an aperture), a lockable belt retractor reel 14 (illustrated by way of example in FIGS. 3-6), a lockable latching seatbelt receiver 16 (illustrated by way of example in FIGS. 7-10), and pneumatic valves for each receiver and retractor. Each receiver 16 may be further provided with three types of proximity sensors, namely, a tongue in place (“TIP”) sensor 18, a cam in place (“CIP”) sensor 20, and a lock in place (“LIP”) sensor 22. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the various sensors provide information to a seatbe

Abstract

A passenger restraint system for a vehicle having a plurality of seats, each seat having a seatbelt, a retractor from which the seatbelt is extendable, and a receiver used to latch the seatbelt. Each retractor includes a first pneumatic locking element and a second pneumatic locking element for limiting movement of the seatbelt and each receiver includes a receiver pneumatic locking element for locking the seatbelt within the receiver. A controller controls the operation of a plurality of first valves for supplying air to the first pneumatic locking element of a corresponding one of the plurality of retractors, a second valve for supplying air to each of the second pneumatic locking element of the plurality of retractors, and a plurality of third valves for supplying air to the receiver pneumatic locking element of a corresponding one of the plurality of receivers. Control decisions may be made based upon feedback received from sensors within the receiver that sense a state of the seatbelt with respect to the receiver.
