Seat harness system
View Patent ↗A seat harness system having a harness plate lockable to a seat to form a five-point harness system for the seat. The harness plate is operatively associated with harness strapping, which is associated with a harness positioning system, which in turn is associated with an actuator to form a singular system that requires only a single action to release all five-points harness system by way of the actuator and the harness positioning system.
1. A harness system comprising:
a harness plate movable between an unlocked engagement and a locked engagement forming harness configuration having a plurality of points relative to an object operatively associated thereto, wherein each point is moved to the unlocked engagement with a single input to the harness plate;
an actuator operatively associated with the harness plate by a mechanical connection and by a control signal synchronous with the single input, wherein the control signal activates the actuator in such a way that each point of the plurality of points is moved to the unlocked engagement
a harness positioning system interconnecting the harness plate and the mechanical connection;
a harness strapping interconnecting the harness plate and a lever arm, wherein the harness strapping defines more than one of the plurality of points;
a fulcrum point operatively associated with the lever arm; and
the lever arm providing the mechanical connection along a distal end thereof.
2. The harness system of claim 1 , further comprising a plate pivot point provided along a proximal end of the lever arm.
3. The harness system of claim 2 , wherein the mechanical connection is a pivotable connection.
4. The harness system of claim 3 , wherein the harness strapping interconnects the harness plate in a pivotable manner.
5. A seat harness system comprising:
a harness plate having a lock mechanism enabling the harness plate to move between a locked engagement and an unlocked engagement with a seat;
a proximal end of a harness strapping pivotably connected to the harness plate;
a proximal end of a lever arm pivotably connected to a distal end of the harness strapping;
an actuator operatively associated with a distal end of the lever arm; and
a fulcrum operatively associated with the lever arm and the seat, the fulcrum about which the lever arm moves when the actuator is activated by a control signal sent from the harness plate when moved to the unlocked engagement.
6. The seat harness system of claim 5 , wherein the actuator is housed in a recessed pocket provided by the seat.
7. A seat harness system of claim 5 , further comprising two side arms extending from the harness plate in such a way the two side arms, the lock mechanism and the harness strapping define a five-point harness configuration relative to the seat when the harness plate is in the locked engagement.
