Abstract:
A device for tightening a seat belt comprising:(a) a spool having a rotational axis, whereabout a plurality of prongs are secured substantially in their lengths to form a slot with an open end and a closed end, such that the spool is extended along the rotational axis from the closed end through a bore of a head of a body and that spool extension is adapted to be secured in the bore so that it is rotatable only in one direction about the rotational axis within the bore; (b) an arm extension extending from the head away from the rotational axis and connected to a securing arm spaced substantially apart from the spool by the arm extension; (c) a lever rotatably secured at one end to an end of the spool extension and adapted to cause the spool to rotate in a winding direction in moving the lever toward or away from the securing arm.
