Abstract:
A seat belt device has a tongue and a buckle of simple structures. The seat belt device has an inflatable belt that extends from a shoulder belt. An inflator is actuated to supply gas into the inflatable belt to inflate the inflatable belt. The inflatable belt also extends across the chest along with the shoulder belt. When the inflatable belt is inflated, the length of the inflatable belt is shortened in the longitudinal direction so that the shoulder belt and the lap belt operably connected thereto are tensioned by the inflated belt. Therefore, the shoulder belt and the lap belt are tightened to securely hold the occupant in the vehicle seat.

Abstract:
An inflatable belt has an envelope-shaped or elongated belt body, which is folded in a long band-like configuration, and a cover enclosing the belt body. One end of the belt body 11 is connected to a tongue 15. The cover preferably is made from a stretchable knitted fabric. There is a cushion layer between the belt body 11 and the cover 12. The outer surface of the cushion layer 13 is processed by low frictional treatment such as fluororesin coating. A low-friction film or tape may also be laid between the cushion layer and the cover. Thus, the inflatable belt feels softer when it contacts the occupant or when the occupant touches the belt.
