Abstract
In a motor vehicle with a vertically adjustable safety belt guide fitting with a hollow component which is located on or in the B-pillar and has a toothed portion of the length of the desired range of adjustment and in which an engagement slide having corresponding teeth is guided and can be engaged in different positions with the toothed portion, the hollow component is designed as a sheet metal profile part (2) made approximately C-shaped in cross-section, in which a separate angular toothed strip (13) is fastened adjacent to its base (3) and the inwardly directed legs of which form guides (5) for a sliding piece (6), H-shaped in cross-section, which receives a fastening bolt (8) about which an eccentric bushing (9) is mounted pivotably. The eccentric bushing (9) has an eccentric disc (10) and a shank (11), the shank (11) possessing flattened portions (12). The eccentric disc (10) engages into a circular aperture (17) in an engagement disc (15) which lies in the plane of the teeth ( 14) of the toothed strip (13) and which has corresponding teeth (16). The shank (11) is connected so as to be partially rotatable and fixed against rotation via a sleeve (18), to a sheet metal part (20) which holds a guide shackle (21) consisting of round material and which forms the actual guide fitting (22) for the safety belt (23). The vertical position of the safety belt guide fitting (22) can be adjusted by means of specific pivoting upwards and to the rear.
