Most cars have seat belts as part of their equipment. Seat belt s protect drivers and passengers in case of accidents. They al so reduce the effect of a crash on the body. 36
Worldwide, the devices have protected up to a million people. America first recognized the invention of an automobile seat b elt in 1849. The government gave a patent to an engineer na med Edward Claghorn of New York City so that others would not copy his invention of a safety device. 37 This early versi on of safety belt was said to include hooks and other attachm ents for securing the person to a fixed object.
Other inventors followed with different versions of the seat bel t. 38 It resulted from the work of a Swedish engineer, Nils Bo hlin. His three-
point, lap and shoulder seat belt first appeared on cars in Eur ope 50 years ago.
Nils Bohlin recognized that both the upper and lower body ne
eded to be held securely in place. His invention contained a cl oth strap(带子)
that was placed across the chest and another strap across his hips. 39
Volvo was the first company to offer the modern seat belt to it s cars. This company also provided use of Nils Bohlin's desig n to other car-makers.
40 He received a gold medal from the Royal Swedish Acad emy of Engineering Sciences in 1995. He died in Sweden in 2 002.
A.The Swedish engineer won many honors for his seat belt. B.Claghorn was a promising young engineer with many hon ors all his life.
C.The design joined the straps next to the hip.
D.There are many companies adopting Nils Bohlin's inventio n of the belt.
E. Safety experts say that seat belts save thousands of lives a year in America alone.
F. But more than 100 years passed before the current seat be lt was developed.
G. Claghorn called his invention a safety belt.
