Abstract
This invention relates to an automatically fastening assembly which causes an occupant of a vehicle to be automatically held to a seat in the vehicle by a restraining webbing after the occupant is positioned upon the seat in the vehicle. The seatbelt assembly includes a guide rail, a slider which is displaceable along the guide rail and a restraining webbing which is fixed to the slider at one end thereof. The guide rail is provided with stop switches at each end thereof, the stop switches being connected to a source of electricity or an electric control circuit through connecting wires. Further, the stop switches detect the arrival of the slider at either end of the guide rail and output signals to the electric control circuit. More particularly, the present invention relates to improvements for fastening the connecting wires to the guide rail prior to installing the guide rail on the vehicle body, by utilizing a fastening device. The fastening device obviates the installation problems encountered with known devices.
