Abstract:
An automatic guard device for seat belts in a car, comprising:two clasps, being disposed at a lateral side of the driver's seat and a lateral side of the front passenger seat in the car respectively; two elastic switches, being corresponding to the clasps and being disposed in the clasps respectively; two circular flexible belts, being attached to the driver's seat and the front passenger seat in the respectively; two contact switches, being attached to the circular flexible belts respectively; and a warning main unit, being connected to the elastic switches and to a D.C. power source in the car respectively; characterized in that the flexible belts are arranged to enclose the driver's seat and the front passenger seat at their seatbacks respectively and the contact switches are disposed in front of the seatbacks respectively to electrically connect with the elastic switches respectively and are in a state â€œoffâ€  before being touched; the main unit further comprises two AV terminals, a power source terminal and a set of dual circuits, wherein the AV terminals and the power source terminal are electrically connected to the dual circuits and the AV terminals are electrically connected to the elastic switches and the power source terminal is electrically connected to the D.C. power source via a lighter socket in the car; the dual circuits further comprises a buzzer and two light emitting diodes; and the elastic switches are in a state of â€œonâ€  respectively before being contacted; wherein, once the driver and the front seat passenger get into the car and sit on their seats and as long as at least one of the contact switches is touched by either the back of the driver or the back of the passenger to become in a state of â€œonâ€ , the buzzer and the light emitting diodes are capable of emitting a warning sound and flashes respectively to remind the driver and the passenger that the seatbelts thereof have to be fastened; once both of the driver and the passenger fasten their seatbelts and the elastic switches are pressingly contacted, the elastic switches become in a state of â€œoffâ€  and the buzzer and the light emitting diodes cease emitting the sound and the flashes.
