A passive seat belt system including a cable attached to the seat belt for moving the seat belt to a non-interfering position and a winding device for moving the cable. The winding device is drivingly connected to an electric motor for movement of a device unassociated with the passive seat belt when the door is open. A single motor operates the passive seat belt system of both the driver's and right front passenger positions through a gearbox arrangement which is also connected to the windshield wiper or other motor.

Motorized passive seat belt system

A vehicle passive seat belt restraint system including a seat belt adapted to be positioned across and in contact with the torso of a vehicle occupant, the improvement comprising cover means surrounding the seat belt and extending substantially along the entire length of that portion of the seat belt which otherwise would contact the occupant's torso, the seat belt being slideable within the interior of the cover means and the cover means being fixed with respect to said seat belt.

Passive seat belt system

A safety belt retractor comprising a frame, a spool mounted for rotation on the frame and having seat belt webbing wound thereon, first means biasing the spool in a rewind direction and means for reducing the tension of the webbing against the wearer due to the bias force of the first biasing means, the tension reducing means comprising a second means biasing the spool in a rewind direction and having a lower biasing force than the first biasing means and blocking means having an operable position at which it prevents the first biasing means from rotating the spool and an inoperable position at which it does not prevent such rotation, the blocking means being in the operable position after extension of the seat belt webbing to a position of use, and the second biasing means operable to wind the webbing when the blocking means is in its operable position.

Comfort mechanism for seat belt retractor

In a vehicle passive seat belt restraint system including a seat belt having one end attached at a point of attachment to a door of the vehicle and its opposite end attached in the interior of the vehicle such that when the door is closed, the belt is automatically moved to a first position at which it restrains an occupant when seated in his seat and when the door is opened, the belt is moved to a second position located forward of the vehicle with respect to the first position, to permit free ingress to and egress from the vehicle, the door having a pivot point upon which the door pivots during opening and closing, the improvement for moving the belt to its second position upon only partial opening of the door, the improvement comprising:
