Abstract
A tool to assist in the fastening of a seat belt buckle having an elongated, rigid body, a hook extension extending longitudinally from a front end of the body about 1 inch, and a curved hook which extends from the hook extension and curves towards the front end of the tool body. The tool body is preferably about 16 inches in length. The hook/hook extension may be mounted to the body with a hinge. A flashlight may be included within the tool body. An occupant in a vehicle uses the tool by engaging the hook through an opening in the male metal part of a seat belt buckle, and pulls the male part of the buckle and the belt across their body using the tool. With the male part of the buckle in front of the occupant, the occupant can easily engage the male part of the buckle into the female part of the buckle. The tool makes it easier for an occupant of a vehicle to retrieve the male part of a seat belt buckle, and therefore encourages the use of seat belts.
