Abstract
A part 8 of the shoulder anchor tower upwardly protruding from the side body 2 of an open-body type vehicle 1 is formed to have a closed sectional shape by combining the tower inner and outer panels 8a and 8b each other so that a closed sectional shape can be formed. The rear seat belt device is thus obtained, which allows the shoulder anchor tower to have a simpler configuration and a lighter weight, improves the degree of accuracy of assembly, and has reduced cost. The present invention also allows both the passenger room and the rear luggage room to be widened.
