摘要:
A height adjuster for a safety belt system has a web guide (38) and a track (84) for the web guide. The web guide (38) is vertically moveable along the track (84). A lock (76) has a lock condition for preventing vertical movement of the web guide (38) along the track (84) and an unlocked condition for allowing vertical movement of the web guide (38) along the track (84). A release mechanism (50, 80) is operatively connectable to the lock (76). The release mechanism (50, 80) has a release position for placing the lock (76) in the unlocked condition and an unreleased position from maintaining the lock (76) in the lock condition. A lift mechanism (66) at least partially assists vertical movement of the web guide (38) along the track (84) and biases the release mechanism (50, 80) toward the unreleased position.

A seat belt pretensioner has a curved cable guide (82) and a flexible metal cable (200) positioned about and movable relative to the cable guide (82). One end of the cable (200) is connected to a piston for moving the cable, or to a static anchor, and an opposite end of the cable is connected to a seat belt buckle. A portion (200a) of the cable is coated with a material (204) to increase the stiffness of the cable. The cable (200) is configured to be drawn into the cable guide (82) and to dissipate energy as it is so moved. The cable stiffening material (204) may cover the exterior of the cable (200).

A seat bealt height adjuster (400) has a mounting bar (402), a carrier (460) and a spring-loaded locking lever (490). The mounting bar (402)is oval or rectangle in cross section and has at least one wall (414) acting as a locking surface. The locking surface includes a plurality of teeth (418) selectively engaged by the locking lever (490). The carrier (460) slides along the mounting bar (402) to different positions. The carrier (460) has a U-shaped body with top and bottom walls (462, 464). having openings through which the mounting bar (402) extends.
