on video The seat belt | How it works ?


 The seat belt | How it works ?

We all know what happens in an accident if you don't wear your seat belt. What you see in this crash looks really painful in slow motion. Modern seat belts are not only mechanisms that stop your movements, but they also help minimize internal injuries and help you land safely on an airbag. In this video, we will not only learn how a seat belt works, but we will also learn why modern seat belt mechanisms are designed this way. Buckle your seatbelt, and let's take a journey into the world of design.

In an accident, the vehicle undergoes a sharp deceleration or comes to a sudden stop. An ingenious mechanism has been designed to block the strap and thus avoid serious damage to the driver. This mechanism consists of a steel ball that rolls freely and a hinge. The sprocket is connected to the retractor shaft which means that each time the belt winds or unwinds, the sprocket rotates under normal driving conditions and the ball is in the rest position. On the other hand, when the vehicle suddenly stops, the ball moves forward due to its inertia, this movement moves the hinge and triggers a locking mechanism. This lock prevents further release of the webbing, which means that the seat belt simply stops the forward movement of the driver in a collision.
