Abstract
A passive safety belt system consists of a lap strap (14), a shoulder strap (16) and a common strap (20) interconnected to form a 3-point safety belt with the free ends of the lap and shoulder straps (14 & 16) connected to the rear edge of a vehicle door (26) and the free end of the common strap (20) connected to an inertia reel. A flexible element (30) interconnects the junction of the three straps (14, 16 & 20) of the safety belt with a traveller (36) on the track (38). An arm (46) has a loop (48) at one end, through which the common strap (20) runs. The other end of the arm (46) is pivotally mounted on the front inboard corner of a seat (10), a stop member (50) on the common strap (20) engages with the loop (48) to lift the arm (46) when a predetermined length of said common strap has been pulled off the inertia reel (28).
