Abstract:
A clip device which is adapted to attach one belt to another comprises a base plate having a rectangular opening therein. A belt is attached to the base plate. An elongate clamp member is pivotally attached to the base plate such that the clamp can pivot from an upwardly extending position to a position in which it is adjacent to and spans the rectangular opening in the base plate. Means are provided for restraining the ends of the clamp from translational movement with respect to the base plate when the clamp member is in its position adjacent to and spanning the rectangular opening. An auxiliary belt is also disclosed which incorporates clip devices of the invention to attach the auxiliary belt to the seat belts in an automobile, whereby the auxiliary belt is then used to restrain a child on the lap of a person who is seated in the automobile and is using the seat belts in the automobile.
