In a vehicle seat belt system in which the belt has a diagonal or shoulder portion and a lap or pelvis portion, the diagonal portion is connectable at a desired position to an extension of the lap portion which is stretched diagonally upright over the front of the back of the seat. A snubber device isolates the portions of the belt providing the lap portion and the extension, the upper end of which is connected to an anchorage for a retractor from which the diagonal portion downwardly extends. The diagonal portion and the extension are connected by a device such that tension in the belt as it extends forwardly over the users shoulder, tilts the device into engagement with the seat back to enhance frictional engagement therewith against inadvertent movement of the device.

A tongue plate device for use in a seat belt system of the kind using a continuous webbing consisting of a lap portion and a shoulder portion for restraining an occupant onto a seat of a vehicle. The tongue plate device can be easily slipped on the webbing when the occupant fasten the seat belt and locked in any desired position on the webbing by simple manipulation by the occupant so as to restrain the occupant onto the seat without giving a sense of oppression while ensuring improved restraining effect for the occupant in an emergency.

In a continuous loop restraint system wherein one end of a length of webbing is anchored near the vehicle seat and the other end of the webbing is anchored near the roof of the automobile, a releasable anchor for releasably anchoring a central portion of the webbing is provided so that the portion of the webbing from the floor anchor to the releasable anchor becomes a lap belt and the portion from the roof mounted anchor to the releasable anchor becomes a shoulder belt. A retractor is provided for winding one end of the webbing therearound. The webbing can slide relative to the releasable anchor to allow respective webbing sections to be of desired lengths. The restraint system has been improved by providing drive means associated with the releasable anchor for urging the webbing through the releasable anchor toward the retractor so that excess webbing is wound about the retractor and so that the portion of the webbing between the stationary anchor and the releasable anchor is tight. The drive means may comprise spring loaded means wound to a tensioned condition when the releasable anchor is moved from a stowed position to its anchored position for urging the webbing toward the retractor. Teeth are provided on the webbing, a gear is provided on the drive means, and the gear engages the teeth to insure positive drive between the webbing and the drive means. The teeth may be located on a strip attached to one side of the webbing, and a stop may be associated with the strip for limiting the length of webbing which can pass through the releasable anchor.

THE HARNESS APPARATUS DISCRIMINATES BETWEEN MODERATELY ACCELERATED AND RAPIDLY ACCELERATED DISPLACEMENT OF THE HARNESS WITH RESPECT TO A BELT-TRAVERSE CONTROL BY MEANS OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN A SENSING ROLLER WITH PIVOT POINTS FREE TO MOVE IN ONE DIRECTION AND A PARALLEL FRICTION BAR OR SURFACE. THE SENSING ROLLER IS SPRINGLOADED AWAY FROM THE FRICTION BAR. LATCHES ARE COMMONLY BIASED TO BEAR AGAINST AXLE ENDS OF THE SENSING ROLLER. THE HARNESS BELT PATH IS FROM A RESILIENT ANCHOR, BETWEEN THE FRICTION BAR AND THE SENSING ROLLER, AND AROUND THE ROLLER TO AN ANCHORED HARNESS COMPONENT. UNDER MODERATE BELT ACCELERATION THE ROLLER ROTATES FREELY, HELD IN AXIAL PLACE BY THE BALANCE BETWEEN THE LATCHES AND THE ROLLER SPRING LOAD. RAPID BELT ACCELERATION OVERCOMES THE ROLLER SPRING LOAD AND BELT MOTION PULLS THE ROLLER INTO PROXIMITY WITH THE FRICTION BAR, BINDING THE HARNESS BELT BETWEEN THEM. THE LATCHES LOCK THE ROLLER AGAINST WITHDRAWAL.

A retainer apparatus for resisting twisting of a seatbelt near the tongue of the seatbelt includes a pair of sleeves interconnected by a connecting strap. Each sleeve has a channel for receiving a webbing of a seatbelt such that a tongue of the seatbelt is positioned between the sleeves. The retainer apparatus is resiliently flexible such that the retainer apparatus resists twisting around a vertical axis extending through the retainer apparatus.

A belt adjuster configured to secure a belt of a child car seat. The belt is squeezed and/or compressed between a belt bar and a frame to prevent movement of the belt. The belt adjuster includes a trigger configured to function as a lever. In one example, the lever extends from a belt bar to the trigger, such that force applied to the trigger actuates the belt bar. The lever is configured to multiply a force applied to the trigger to reduce the force needed to release the belt. In one embodiment, a force vector applied to the trigger is in a parallel and opposite direction from a force vector of the belt bar. In another embodiment, a force vector applied to the trigger is in a parallel and/or transverse direction from a force vector of the belt bar.

A seat belt assembly including a seat belt webbing, a buckle, and a connector tongue assembly. The tongue assembly includes a body, a slot in the body for receiving a seat belt webbing, a locking mechanism located proximate the slot, and a spring biasing the locking mechanism towards the slot to frictionally engage the webbing to prevent freefall of the assembly.
