Passenger restraint means are provided in an automobile by a frame, pivoted around a transverse axis, carrying a resilient waist-restraint region. The seat cannot be occupied until the frame is pivoted upwards, but the driver vision is obscured until the frame is again pivoted downwardly, over the legs of the occupant, and restrains him by the waist. Additional accommodation of impact is provided by mounting the frame on upstanding arms connected to a transverse torsion bar. Such mounting is preferably by a breakaway joint pivot for easy removal after collision. |
