Abstract
A height adjuster for a vehicle safety restraint has a web guide () and a track () for the web guide. The web guide () is vertically moveable along the track (). A lock () has a lock condition for preventing vertical movement of the web guide () along the track () and an unlocked condition for allowing vertical movement of the web guide () along the track (). A release mechanism () is operatively connectable to said lock (). The release mechanism () has a release position for placing the lock () in the unlocked condition and an unreleased position from maintaining the lock () in the lock condition. A lift mechanism () at least partially assists vertical movement of the web guide () along the track () and biases the release mechanism () toward the unreleased position.
