Jetpacks and Rocket Belts: Seeking episode info for *Lost in Space*, etc.

Mac Montandon, who is writing a book on the Bell Rocket Belt and its descendants, asked me the following question:
"Can anyone tell me exactly what episode a jetpack appears in Lost in Space,
the year and episode number? And what episode(s) did it appear on the
Simpsons and Family Guy, too? And Jetsons?"
I recall *Lost in Space* featured footage of the Bell Rocket Belt, possibly in the early, black-and-white episodes, but I don't know specifics. Can anyone help with airdates or titles?
Saturday morning's *Ark II* used a rocket belt, too. Airdates or episode titles?
Did the real rocket belt appear in other Sixties or Seventies TV shows?
I recall many TV commercials-- Colonel Keds, the Man from Glad-- with rocket belts.
As for fictional jetpacks, or animated ones, they are legion.
