| Electromagnetic Car Seat Release |
*****New Product For Licensing, Manufacturing, and/or Investors*****
As attorney for the inventor of the innovative Electromagnetic Car Seat Release we are currently seeking manufacturing companies to license, purchase patent rights or enter into a royalty agreement for this timely invention.
The present invention discloses a device which will release a vehicular seat in the event the vehicular air bag is deployed, for example, in the case of an accident.
Objects of the present invention:
- to provide an automotive safety feature that will save lives in the event of an accident
- to provide a means for allowing the seat of a vehicle to travel in a rearward direction during deployment of a vehicles air bag
- to provide a car seat mounted on a track having an electromagnetic lock maintaining the predetermined position of said seat
The following pictures are meant to display possible physical characteristics of the present invention and are not to be taken in a limiting sense. It is understood that other embodiments may be utilized and that structural changes may be made without departing from the scope of the invention.

| FIGURE 1 Figure 1 is a perspective view of the typical situation wherein the air bag deployment system would be engaged. |
 |
| FIGURE 2 Figure 2 is a side view of the present invention in use whereby under normal vehicular conditions the electromagnetic lock would prevent movement of the car seat.
|
| FIGURE 2a Figure 2a is a side view of the present invention in use whereby the air bag deployment system has been engaged and the air bag is inflating as the occupant of the vehicle is propelled into the air bag. |
| FIGURE 2b Figure 2b is a side view of the present invention in use whereby the air bag deployment system has been engaged and the air bag is inflating pushing the occupant of the vehicle and the seat in a rearward direction. |
 |
| FIGURE 3 Figure 3 is an enlarged view of the car seat attached to a plurality of wheels riding in a track having an electromagnetic lock attached to the seat and engaging the track. |
 |
| FIGURE 3a Figure 3a is an enlarged view of the car seat, taken from the general direction shown in Fig 2a, attached to a plurality of wheels riding in a track having an electromagnetic lock attached to the seat and wherein the electromagnetic lock has been disengaged by the air bag deployment sensor. |
 |
| FIGURE 3b Figure 3b is an enlarged view of the car seat taken from the general direction show in Fig 2b attached to a plurality of wheels riding in a track having an electromagnetic lock attached to the seat and wherein the car seat is being moved in a rearward direction by the force exerted by the air bag upon the occupant and the car seat. |
 |
| FIGURE 4 Figure 4 is a side view of the car seat being adjusted by the occupant of the vehicle by using the seat adjustment lever which breaks the circuit allowing the seat to be selectively positioned whereupon the occupant releases the lever and the electromagnetic lock is engaged. |
 |
| FIGURE 5 Figure 5 is a side view of the present invention installed. Shown is a vehicle having an electromagnetic lock being attached to the seat and being in contact with the car seat track and being powered by the car battery. The seat has a seat adjustment lever which acts as a switch opening the circuit between the air bag sensor, car battery and electromagnetic lock when moved to a predetermined position. Further the air bag sensor acts as a switch opening the circuit between the car battery, car seat lever, and electromagnetic lock thereby enabling rearward movement of the car seat. |
