Name: Motor vehicles > With belt or harness for restraining occupant, and means whereby the belt or harness controls, or is controlled by, the functioning of a vehicle system or component
Description: Apparatus wherein the vehicle is provided with one or more devices consisting principally of a flexible, straplike member, or an assembly of such members, for engaging an occupant of the vehicle and preventing or limiting movement of the occupant relative to the vehicle upon a change in the momentum of the latter, and means whereby either (a) the belt, by its status (i.e., use or nonuse), renders a system (e.g., the ignition circuit) or a component (e.g., the transmission selector lever) of the vehicle either operative or inoperative or not properly positioned to function in its intended manner, or (b) as the result of the operation, or the failure to do so, or the improper positioning, of such system or component, the belt is itself placed in a condition whereby it either can, or cannot, serve to restrain the occupant.
