Abstract
An anchorage system for mounting an inertia locking restraint belt retractor for fore and aft adjusting movement with a vehicle seat mounted on the vehicle body by a seat adjusting mechanism which tilts the seat as well as adjusting the seat fore and aft. According to the invention a track extends longitudinally on the vehicle body generally beneath the seat and mounts a carriage having the retractor mounted thereon. A flexible strap or the like connects the carriage with the seat to tow the carriage fore and aft with the seat and permit tilting movement of the seat relative the carriage while the track and carriage maintain the retractor at a predetermined attitude which insures operation of the retractor sensing mechanism. An anchor belt has its rearward end connected to the vehicle floor and its forward end connected to the carriage by an inertia locking anchor belt retractor to lock the carriage against forward movement by occupant restraint loads imposed on the restraint belt.
