An occupant restraining webbing is engaged with a sliding anchor, which is movable along a guide rail solidly secured to a vehicle body. Lock bars provided on the sliding anchor are received in engaging holes formed in the guide rail therealong, whereby the sliding anchor is positively supported on a side wall of the vehicle body to secure an occupant in a restrained state in an emergency situation of a vehicle. While, the occupant can withdraw the lock bars from the engaging holes and move the sliding anchor, so that an anchor point can be adjusted.

Shoulderbelt anchor device

An automatic seat belt device has a seat belt guide ring pivotally secured to the bent of a stationary guide having an L-shaped section bent parallel to the lateral direction of the vehicle, the guide being mounted to the lateral side of a seat cushion. The seat belt guide ring is formed substantially in triangular shape and formed with a long guiding hole for inner seat belt along one side thereof. The guide ring is pivotal in the lateral direction. Twisting of the seat belt at the guide ring thereby can be prevented, and slack in the guide ring can be removed in case of upward or downward longitudinal slack of the belt by the clockwise or counterclockwise rotation of the guide ring.

Automatic seat belt device

A guiding device for a front seat belt for a vehicle having a cross member formed at a rear seat side on an automotive floor and a floor tunnel, which has a retractor for the front seat belt, fixedly secured into an opening formed at the cross member, a boot fixedly secured to the side of the floor tunnel between the front side of the rear seat and the rear side of the front seat for guiding the floor seat belt drawn from the retractor, and a floor carpet arranged to cover the boot and formed with a belt passage hole, from which the seat belt is drawn to the front seat side through a belt outlet formed at the boot. Thus, the front seat belt is not exposed in an occupant's leg preserving portion of a rear seat to prevent the front seat belt from disturbing the occupant's legs at the rear seat and to simultaneously prevent the front seat belt from being contaminated with preferable external appearance and smooth extension and retraction of the front seat belt.

Guiding device for front seat belts

A ring joint for connecting the intermediate portion of an outer webbing to the forward end portion of an inner webbing to fasten the webbings about an occupant in a three-point type seatbelt system, wherein stoppers erected from a joint base prevents the axial movement of a lock bar, whereby, in an emergency situation of a vehicle, the lock bar locks the intermediate portion of the outer webbing between the joint base and itself to prevent the outer webbing from moving in the longitudinal direction thereof, so that an occupant can be reliably restrained.

Ring joint for seatbelt system

In a webbing lock device, there are provided a pair of lock members for clamping the intermediate portion of an occupant restraining webbing so as to bring an occupant into a restrained state in the event of an emergency situation of a vehicle, and resin material deformable in accordance with irregularities on the surfaces of the webbing, when the webbing is clamped, is provided on the surface of at least one of the lock members, whereby frictional resistances between the webbing and the lock members are increased and concentration of stress is avoided.

Webbing lock device

An automatic seat belt device for a vehicle, which has a switch inserted into a driving circuit for opening the driving circuit upon releasing of an emergency buckle. Thus, this device can disable the guide arm driving device when an adult's seat belt attached to a seat is not used like when a children's seat belt is used.

Automatic seat belt device for vehicle

A tongue plate device for use in a seat belt system of the kind using a continuous webbing consisting of a lap portion and a shoulder portion for restraining an occupant onto a seat of a vehicle. The tongue plate device can be easily slipped on the webbing when the occupant fastens the seat belt and locked in any desired position on the webbing by simple manipulation by the occupant so as to restrain the occupant onto the seat without giving a sense of oppression while ensuring improved restraining effect for the occupant in an emergency.

Retractors for shoulder belts and retractors for lap belts which are transversly positioned, relative to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. One of said retractors is housed in a side member at the bottom of the vehicle, thereby facilitating occupants getting in and out of the vehicle. At the same time, this arrangement increases the degree of freedom in the anchorage location of the retractors in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

Arrangement of a seat belt taking-up device

A lap belt take-up shaft for a seat belt retractor is arranged horizontally and substantially orthogonally to the traveling direction of a vehicle, whereby damage to the lap belt due to the drawing-out and rolling-in thereof is prevented and whereby a Vehicle Inertia Sensitive type emergency engagement device can be installed so as to demonstrate its function perfectly.
