However, have you actually sat and thought about the history of the seat belt or wondered about who to thank for actually coming up with the idea in the first place? Below I will give you a little summary of the seat belt history timeline. It\u2019s truly hard to imagine that not too long ago, seat belts weren\u2019t even a thing and that people were driving around without them! We know today that seat belts are a crucial safety component in our vehicles that have really saved many lives throughout the years. It is no wonder that such an invention would become so popular and important!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To start things off, in the year 1885, the first known patent for an automobile seat belt was created for Edward J. Claghorn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the year 1903, a French man named Gustave-Desire Leveau invented a seat belt system with adjustable diagonal lap and chest belts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few decades later\u2014in the 1930s, medical professionals began to urge the auto industry to establish vehicles equipped with seat belts as standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was only in the years 1949-1950 that the auto manufacturer Nash became the first to offer factory-installed lap belts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just a little while later, in the year 1951, two men named Hugh DeHaven and Roger W. Griswold attained a patent for a three-point belt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, in 1959, Volvos became the first cars to be fitted with the three-point lap and shoulder seat belts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first mandatory seat belt law was established in the state of New York in the year 1984. Within just three years, 28 more states established seat belt laws of their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
