Abstract
Disclosed herein is an apparatus and method of utilization thereof of a powered vehicle seat adjuster slide which can be connected with an occupant restraint belt. With use of the present apparatus, relative motion between the vehicle seat and vehicle is prevented during periods of sudden decelerations of the vehicle. The apparatus includes a connection for mounting the seat belt anchor to the slide rail, which, upon a predetermined force being applied to the seat belt, will engage a notched portion of the floor channel thereby preventing movement of the seat with respect to the floor channel.
