REAR SEAT DIVIDER FOR MOTOR VEHICLE

摘要

A divider (10) for a rear seat of a motor vehicle is formed as a single, free-standing element having a block (76) that is compressible and has shape memory, wherein the block (76) has a pliable covering and has a base (52) and a back surface (50). A lap restraint belt interface (40) has a first slot (20) that extends through the block (76) for accepting an inserted lap restraint belt (12) and the first slot (20) is oriented for compressively urging at least a portion of the base (52) against a bottom surface (80) of the rear seat and a portion of the back surface (50) toward a backrest (82) when the inserted lap restraint belt (12) is engaged. A second interface (40) accepts a second restraint device (14) and is oriented for adding a compressively urging force at least toward the backrest (82) of the rear seat when the second restraint device (14) is engaged.
