Abstract
A seat belt arrangement includes a seat belt having a first end portion secured to the seat at a first lower attachment point, and a second end portion mounted on a reel secured to the vehicle frame; a lower deflection member slidably attached to the seat belt and equipped with a locking element intended to be removably locked in a second lower attachment point on the seat; an upper deflection system attached to the seat belt between the lower deflection member and the reel, and in which the seat belt may slide. The upper deflection system is arranged on a pivotal arm mounted on the vehicle frame so as to be able to automatically pivot about a pivot axis relative to the vehicle frame when the seat moves vertically, in order to keep the length of the torso portion of the seat belt, between the upper deflection system and the lower deflection member, and the seat belt tension substantially constant.
