AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Conventional seat belt systems may not sufficiently suppress chest compression during collisions, leading to potential injury from localized force application on the occupant's chest.
Method used
A seat belt device with a pad interposed between the shoulder belt and the occupant's shoulder, featuring a rigid portion that connects the contact surface to the contact portion, allowing the pad to distribute and reduce the force applied to the chest.
Benefits of technology
The device effectively suppresses chest compression by distributing the reaction force from the shoulder belt to the shoulder, enhancing safety by reducing pressure on the chest.

Abstract
It reduces chest compression caused by the seat belt. [Solution] The seat belt device comprises a seat belt provided on the seat of a vehicle, and a pad interposed between the seat belt and the occupant's shoulder when the occupant is wearing the seat belt. The pad has a contact surface that contacts the shoulder when worn, a contact portion that contacts the seat belt when worn, and at least one rigid portion that connects the outer edge of the contact surface and the contact portion, and has less deformation than other parts of the pad.
