Abstract
The device is of the type comprising a guide rail (1) mounted on the post (2) of the vehicle and on which is movable the strap return element (3). The return element comprises a first planar portion (8) from which extend two wings (9) disposed on each side of the guide rail (1) and between which wings is provided a blocking plate (11) which extends behind the rail, is downwardly inclined toward the rear side of the rail and cooperates with locking means (12) provided on the rear side of the rail for locking the strap return element (3) in position. Elastic means (13) are provided for biasing the blocking plate (11) to the locking position and the first planar portion (8) of the strap return element (3) to a position in which it bears against the front side of the rail (1). The strap return element includes a second portion (14) which is angularly offset relative to the first portion (8) and which is actuatable by a user for disengaging the blocking plate (11) from the locking means (12) and thereafter shifting the strap return element (3).
