Abstract
A seat belt device having a seat belt one end of which is moved back and forth by a lever. The other end of the seat belt is connected to a retractor mounted on the vehicle body, and the intermediate portion of the seat belt is loosely fitted through a hanger mounted on the vehicle body. A tongue plate is carried on the seat belt and engageable with a buckle attached to a seat for fastening the seat belt. When the door is opened, the seat belt is moved rearward by the lever to allow a passenger to get in and off the vehicle with ease. When the door is closed, the seat belt is moved forward by the lever to permit a passenger on the seat to catch the seat belt easily. When the lever is moved into the forward position, its distal end is located above an upper surface of a seat bottom, forward of a front surface of a seat back, and below a straight line passing through a front end of the upper surface of the seat bottom and an upper end of the front surface of the seat back.
