Abstract
Abstract Disclosed herein is an adjustable seat belt anchorage comprising a guide member having a plurality of interlocking portions, a slider having a portion of such configurations as a channel with flanges inwardly extending along both free edges thereof and provided displaceably with respect to the guide member, a latch piece provided on the slider in such a way that the latch piece is displaceable between an interlocking position and a non-interlocking position, means for normally urging the latch piece toward the interlocking position, a release member supported on the slider and, when operated, capable of shifting the latch piece to the non-interlocking position, and an anchor plate attached to the slider and adapted to support a shoulder webbing either at its free end or at an intermediate portion thereof. Owing to the above construction, the adjustable seat belt anchorage can withstand loads to be applied thereto through the anchor plate, without undergoing deformation and permits a simple and fast adjustment of its height.
