A safety belt arrangement comprising a holder which can be pivotally connected to a vehicle part about an axis which has a guide roller between two bearings. In the fastened state at least a band part of the belt band which partially wraps around the guide roller extends at an inclination to the axis of rotation of the guide roller. At increased brake forces the guide roller enters into engagement with a projection.

Safety belt arrangement

A roller guide assembly for a safety belt comprising a holder which can be secured to a vehicle part and which journals a guide roller between two bearings. In this, the bearings are formed resiliently. The invention prevents the bearings from prematurely wearing and avoids many of the high stress to which bearings in other roller guides are subjected.

Roller guide and holder for an automotive safety restraint

A passive knee restraint for an automotive vehicle is formed by the yieldable rearwardly facing lower wall of a dashboard portion positioned to engage the knees of a seated passenger in an automotive vehicle, thereby restraining the lower portion of the body of the passenger in the seat in the event of sudden vehicle deceleration. According to the invention, this dashboard portion is at least partly swingable on the remainder of the dashboard to afford unrestricted access to the region behind it, thereby allowing repair and maintenance in this region and/or access to articles stored therein as, for example, when a glove compartment is provided behind this swingable part.
