Abstract
The disclosure relates to an adjustable tongue and locking device for a vehicle seat belt. One end of the seat belt is anchored to the floor of the vehicle and the other end is attached to a roof mounted retractor. A seat belt buckle accepts the tongue for restraining a passenger in the conventional manner. The adjustable tongue permits the portion of the belt that extends over an occupant's lap to be adjusted to a comfortable length whereupon the roof mounted retractor takes up any slack in the portion of the belt extending over the occupant's shoulders. The tongue is required to be adjustable so that different sized occupants may use the belt, since the lower end portion thereof is secured to the floor of the vehicle. The tongue is freely slidable downwardly against a stop on the belt when the belt is in the stored condition thereby locating the tongue for ease of access by the occupant.
