A safety belt system, especially for vehicles. The system has a three-point safety belt, a self-locking belt winding mechanism which is mounted on a structural part of the vehicle, and a clamping mechanism for the belt. The clamping mechanism is disposed on the structural part of the vehicle, and has at least one movable clamping jaw. The problem with a basic safety belt system of this type is that in particular the slack in the belt at the body of the strapped-in person, together with the belt elongation which additionally results due to the stretching of the belt, lead, upon activation of the clamping effect, to a forward shifting of the body, thus endangering the person who is strapped in. This problem is inventively solved by movably guiding the clamping mechanism on the structural part of the vehicle, and by providing a drive or control mechanism for the movement of the clamping mechanism.

A seat belt webbing guide assembly (40) includes a closure member (90) which has a slot (164) and is rotatable about a first, generally horizontal, axis (92). The closure member (90) is housed within an inner support member (80) which is rotatable about a second, generally vertical, axis (94). Seat belt webbing extends through the slot (164). Tension in the seat belt webbing adjusts the position of the closure member (90) and slot (164).

A position adjusting device for a shoulder belt in a seat belt assembly comprises a belt anchor into which the shoulder belt is loosely passed, an anchor support block supporting the belt anchor, a guide rail slidably holding the anchor support block, and a straight screw shaft which is arranged along a longitudinal direction of the guide rail and is screwed into the anchor support member, so that the anchor support block may be moved along the guide rail by the rotation of the screw shaft; the anchor supporting block having two female screw members screwed around the screw shaft, and is biased by an elastic member toward or away from each other.

An adjustable seat belt system having a plurality of anchor fittings where one or more anchoring slide block fittings comprise a gear mounted to the anchoring slide block for positioning the anchoring slide block along a track by a manual rotation device or electric motor for rotating the gear interacting with a rack located on the track. The anchoring slide block fitting can also be repositioned by rotating a screw which repositions the anchor. A double-pole double-throw switch is activated to energize the motor to move the block to a selected position.

A restraint system for use in a vehicle for the restraint of an occupant. The system is comprised of a three point belt assembly wherein the anchor for the shoulder strap is pivotably mounted and laterally adjustable. The system includes a housing mounted atop a vehicle seat with a drive shaft rotatably mounted to the housing and threadably engaged with a post. A belt guide is pivotable mounted to the post.

An adjusting device for the point of articulation or the point of deflection of a safety belt in automotive vehicles permits continuous adjustment of the angle of articulation for the safety belt in contact with the shoulder of the vehicle occupant to a predetermined value with the aid of an electric pickup for the angle of articulation, arranged at the point of articulation or deflection, and a comparison circuit connected after this pickup, which comparison circuit contains the predetermined value.

The device allows a continuous adjustment of the Anlenkwinkels (a) for the resting on the shoulder of the vehicle occupant seat belt (2) at a predetermined value by means of an in or on the presence or deflection point (1) arranged electrical generator (13) (for the Anlenkwinkel a) and this downstream comparator circuit (10) containing the predetermined value.
