First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An assembly, comprising: an inflatable harness having a first loop of webbing, a second loop of webbing, and a panel connecting the first loop of webbing to the second loop of webbing; an inflatable tether extending from the first loop of webbing, the inflatable tether in fluid communication with the inflatable harness; and a latch plate fixed to the inflatable tether, the latch plate defining a fluid passage in fluid communication with the inflatable tether to provide inflation medium to the inflatable harness. 2. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first loop of webbing is inflatable. 3. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the panel is inflatable. 4. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first loop is adjustable in size. 5. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the second loop is adjustable in size. 6. The assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a second tether extending from the second loop. 7. The assembly of claim 6 , further comprising a clip connected to the second tether. 8. The assembly of claim 7 , wherein the clip is configured to engage an ISO-fix anchor. 9. An assembly, comprising: a vehicle body, a buckle supported by the vehicle body; an inflator supported by the vehicle body; a latch plate engaged with the buckle, the latch plate defining a fluid passage, the fluid passage in fluid communication with the inflator to receive inflation medium; an inflatable harness having a first loop of webbing, a second loop of webbing, and a panel connecting the first loop of webbing to the second loop of webbing; and an inflatable tether extending from the first loop of webbing, the latch plate fixed to the inflatable tether, the inflatable tether in fluid communication with the inflatable harness and the fluid passage of the latch plate to provide inflation medium to the inflatable harness from the fluid passage of the latch plate. 10. The assembly of claim 9 , wherein the vehicle body includes a pillar, and wherein the buckle is supported by the pillar. 11. The assembly of claim 10 , wherein the inflator is supported by the pillar. 12. The assembly of claim 9 , wherein the inflator is a cold gas inflator. 13. The assembly of claim 9 , wherein the first loop of webbing is inflatable. 14. The assembly of claim 9 , wherein the panel is inflatable. 15. The assembly of claim 9 , wherein the first loop is adjustable in size. 16. The assembly of claim 9 , wherein the second loop is adjustable in size. 17. The assembly of claim 9 , further comprising a second tether extending from the second loop to a second distal end. 18. The assembly of claim 17 , further comprising a clip connected to the second tether. 19. The assembly of claim 18 , further comprising an ISO-fix anchor fixed to the vehicle body and wherein the clip is configured to engage the ISO-fix anchor.
