Sicherheitsgurte
..........Vorreiter
für Gurte in der Fahrzeugtechnik war aber letztendlich die Firma Volvo, die in
ihren Fahrzeugen ab 1957 Sicherheitsgurte serienmäßig einbaute. Im Jahre 1958
patentierte Volvo den vom Volvo-Ingenieur Nils Bohlin entwickelten
Dreipunktgurt. 1963
erklärt Volvo den Verzicht auf Lizenzgebühren für das Patent auf den
Sicherheitsgurt und bietet allen Autoherstellern die Möglichkeit, ihre
Fahrzeuge sicherer zu machen. ---------------------------------------------------------- Safety Belts
Volvo was not the inventor of
safety belts, but was the first company that used them in their
vehicles from 1957 on. In 1958 Volvo patented the three-point-belt
which was developed by the Volvo engineer Nils Bohlin.In 1963 Volvo refraines from the licence fees for the patent and offers the possibility to make a car safer to all car manufacturers. In 1985 this invention was chosen by the German patent office as one of the 8 inventions with the highest profit for humanity in the last 100 years. |
