Abstract

The automatic seat belt release system will energize solenoids mounted on the female portion of the seat belt latches. The solenoids will push the release button on the female seat belt latch via the solenoid and release the belt automatically. In addition, the individual seat belt can manually opened by the children in each seat in the school bus for normal day to day operation.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 ) the driver will energize the system via a mechanical hold (push-on, push off) switch. The load side of the switch will furnish the voltage to energize the individuals solenoids. The solenoids are located on the females receptor (See drawing on FIGS.  1 + 2 ). 
   
   
       2 ) The system will also be energized via an inertia assembly switch thru an electronic timer to energize the solenoids after a suitable time to release the seat belts after an accident. The system will also incorporate a level sensor to prohibit the system from energizing the solenoids if the bus is not in an upright position. The level sensor will control both automatic and manual driver activation to prevent opening the seat belts if the school bus is up side down.
