Recess portions () and () are disposed in a seat-belt sliding face () of a seat-belt sliding member (), and a predetermined number of projections () are provided independently of each other in a dotted state in the recess portions () and (). In each of the projections (), sliding resistance between a seat belt () and the seat-belt sliding member () in a normal time is small, and the sliding resistance between the seat belt () and the seat-belt sliding member () when the seat belt () slides to the lap belt () side is larger than the sliding resistance between the seat belt () and the seat-belt sliding member () when the seat belt () slides to the shoulder belt () side. By means of the dotted-state projections (), extension of the lap belt () in an emergency is suppressed.

Tongue and seat belt device using the same

A belt guide anchor is provided to improve handling operability of a seat belt even when a belt opening angle between a portion of the seat belt adjacent to a retractor and that adjacent to an occupant is increased. A belt guide anchor has a belt insertion hole into which a seat belt is fitted so as to be slidable and expanded portions formed on surfaces of the belt guide anchor facing the interior and exterior, respectively, of the vehicle adjacent to the belt insertion hole. In one form, a thin portion is formed in the expanded portion on the surface facing the interior of the vehicle at a position adjoining a part of the belt insertion hole facing the front side of the vehicle, and a thin part is formed in the expanded portion on the surface facing the exterior of the vehicle at a position adjoining a part of the belt insertion hole facing the rear side of the vehicle. With this, even when a belt opening angle &#x3b8; is large, the seat belt comes into light contact with the thin portions in the expanded portions. Thus, the friction during drawing of the seat belt is small, and the seat belt can be smoothly drawn out.

Belt guide anchor and seat belt unit including the same

A seat belt apparatus including a seat belt through anchor including a hanging shaft that a seat belt withdrawn from a retractor is hung on. The seat belt anchor also includes an anchor base that supports both ends of the hanging shaft. The anchor base includes a shaft non-rotatably supported by the anchor base at both ends and a tube body rotatably attached outside the shaft. The seat belt through anchor additionally includes a stopping mechanism for preventing rotation of the hanging shaft when a pressing force of a predetermined magnitude or more is applied to the tube body from the seat belt.
