Abstract
An adjustable seat belt anchorage, particularly for the upper end of the shoulder belt of a vehicle seat belt system, comprises a channel-shaped track along which a carriage having a loop or other means for attachment of a seat belt is slidable. The track has a series of notches which are engageable by a protruding rib on the carriage. For adjustment, the carriage is rockable about an axis perpendicular to the direction of sliding movement to release the rib from engagement with the notches. A torsion spring acting between the carriage and the track biasses the rib and notches into engagement and the engagement is enhanced by the tension in the belt during use.
