[Federal Standard No. 515/1a] ANCHORAGES FOR SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES FOR AUTOMOTIVE VEHICLES This standard esS1. Purpose and scope. tablishes the requirements and test procedures for anchorages for seat belt assemblies for automotive vehicles. This standard does not cover seat belt assemblies. S2. Application. This standard applies to sedans, station wagons, carryalls, buses (des Vol. I ignated as school buses), and to light trucks up to 10,000 pounds G.V.W. Excluded are stand-up, walk-in package delivery vehicles with tilt type drivers' seats. Excluded are folding jump seats that are folded directly behind the front seat. 83. Standard characteristics. 83.1.1 Anchorage. A seat belt anchorage shall consist of a threaded hole, an eyebolt, or other suitable means of attachment and shall be situated in a suitable structure to receive the seat belt attachment fittings. S3.1.2 Attachment fittings. Attachment fittings are the parts necessary to attach the seat belt assembly to the vehicle structure. S3.1.3 Seat belt assembly. A seat belt assembly is any strap, webbing, or similar device designed to secure a person in an automotive vehicle with the intention of mitigating the results of a traffic accident, including all buckles or other fasteners, and all hardware designed for installing the assembly in an automotive vehicle. The seat belt assemblies intended for installation in the anchorages specified hereinafter are described in Fed. Spec. JJ-B-185 and Standards for Seat Belts for Use in Motor Vehicles, 30 FR. 8432 (July 1, 1965); 15 CFR. 83.1.3.1 Type 1 seat belt assembly. A type 1 seat belt assembly is a lap belt for pelvic restraint. 83.1.3.2 Type 2 seat belt assembly. A type 2 seat belt assembly is a combination of pelvic and upper torso restraints. S3.1.3.3 Type 2a seat belt assembly. A type 2a seat belt assembly is a shoulder belt for upper torso restraint for use only in conjunction with a type 1 lap belt. $3.2 Anchorages. The SAE Recommended Practice for Motor Vehicle Seat Belt Anchorage, J787, forms a basis, in part, for this Federal Standard. S3.2.1 General. When eyebolt anchorages are furnished, they shall conform to the applicable requirements of Fed. Spec. JJ-A530. All threads shall be in accordance with the applicable requirements of the National Bureau of Standards Handbook H28. The location of the anchorages shall be determined with the seat in its rearmost limit of travel. S3.2.1.1 Anchorages for type 1 seat belt assemblies and lap portion of types 2 and 2a seat belt assemblies. Anchorages for type 1 seat belt assemblies or the lap belt portion of types 2 and 2a seat belt assemblies shall be provided for three sets of seat belts for all bench type seats designed to accommote three persons. The location of anchorages for type 1 seat belt assemblies or the lap portion of type 2 seat belt assemblies shall be such that a line from the anchorage to the passengers' "hip" point will make an angle from the horizontal as near as practicable to 45 degrees, as shown in figures 1, 2, and 3. The hip point is the point on the manikin defined as the "H" point in SAE Standard, Manikins for Use in Defining Vehicle Seating Accommodations, J826 The location of the hip point shall be determined by following the procedures in SAE J826. Anchorages for belts that will be installed over the seat bottom frame rear bar shall be rearward of a vertical line though the point where the belt will enter the seat, as shown in figure 4. All anchorages shall be spaced laterally so that the lap portion of the belt essentially forms a U-shaped loop when in use. The same anchorage shall not be used for both ends of a single type 1 seat belt assembly or the lap portion of a single type 2 seat belt assembly. Type 1 seat belt assemblies used in school buses shall utilize the seat for the anchorage attachment points and shall comply with the above, where applicable. Common anchorages may be used for one end of each of two assemblies provided strength requirements are in accordance with S3.2.2. |
