Abstract
A safety seat belt arrangement for protecting an automotive seat occupant. According to the present invention, there is provided a safety seat belt arrangement which comprises, in addition to a first belt having a shoulder harness portion the end of which linked with a rear upper end of a door and a lap harness portion the end of which linked with a rear lower end of the door and a second belt one end held by a safety seat belt retractor and the other end linked with the first belt through a linkage ring, a projecting member located at an outboard side of the seat projecting by means of an elastic means, so as to be pushed by the door when the door is closed, an arm assembly located at the inboard side of the seat and rotatably fixed on a seat frame bracket for supporting the second belt, and a linkage member located at the rear of the seat for connecting the projecting member and the arm assembly so that the arm assembly stands upright to release the first belt from the body of the occupant when the door is closed and the projecting member is pushed, whereby the force required to open the door can be remarkably reduced.
