Abstract
A height-adjustable guide fitting for a seat belt of a motor vehicle has a rail member with a guide groove connected to the motor vehicle. The rail member has catch openings spaced at a distance from one another. A longitudinally slidable slide is positioned within the guide groove. A locking member is connected to the slide and in pivotable between a locked position and a release position. The locking member has a spring for biasing the locking member into the locked position and has a locking projection for engaging in the locked position a catch opening to thereby block the locking member relative to the rail member. A device for releasing the locking member is provided. The locking member has a lock lever pivotable between a position within the contour of the locking member and an outwardly pivoted engaging position for engaging one of the catch openings. A forced guiding system couples the lock lever to the slide such that a movement of the locking member relative to the slide upon displacement of the locking member from the locked position to the release position causes a pivoting of the lock lever relative to the locking member.
