Abstract
An automatic latch device for a runner member used in an automatic seat belt system includes a restraining member movably mounted to the runner member and provided with a restraining portion for meshing with a brake member provided on a vehicle body. The restraining member is moved to a non-meshing position by a drive force of a driving member, which is operatively connected to the restraining member, for driving the runner member between a seat occupant restraining position and a seat occupant liberating position, whereby the coupling between the runner member and the brake member may be automatically released substantially simultaneously with the start of the driving of the driving member without needing to move the brake member.
