Anchorage for webbing of vehicle seat belt system

Claim 2

In an anchorage for a webbing of a vehicle seat belt system, said anchorage being of the type that when an abrupt tensile force is applied to the webbing, a bracket fixed on a seat slide rail is deformed to bring a pin of a base plate secured on the bracket into engagement with a recess of an anchor stay fixed on a stationary base of a vehicle thereby to distribute the abrupt tensile force to the stationary base, the improvement wherein the bracket comprises a first bracket fixed on the seat slide rail and a second bracket which is secured on the base plate and is deformed upon application of the abrupt tensile force of at least said predetermined value to the webbing, an engaged portion is provided with one of the first bracket ad second bracket, an engaging portion is provided with the other bracket, the engaged portion and engaging portion are normally maintained in mutual engagement, and the second bracket is L-shaped and has a base portion which is seated on the first bracket.

Claim 3

In an anchorage for a webbing of a vehicle seat belt system, said anchorage being of the type that when an abrupt tensile force is applied to the webbing, a bracket fixed on a seat slide rail is deformed to bring a pin of a base plate secured on the bracket into engagement with a recess of an anchor stay fixed on a stationary base of a vehicle thereby to distribute the abrupt tensile force to the stationary base, the improvement wherein the bracket comprises a first bracket fixed on the seat slide rail, a second bracket secured on the base plate, and a fastening means for uniting together the first and second brackets at front parts thereof as viewed in the direction of the seat slide rail one of the first bracket and second bracket is provided with an engaged portion at a rear part thereof as viewed in the direction of the seat slide rail and the other bracket is provided with a matching engaging portion at a rear part thereof, and the engaged portion and engaging portion are normally maintained in mutual engagement but when a load of at least a predetermined value is applied to the base plate, the mutual engagement between the engaged portion and engaging portion is released so as to permit deformation of the second bracket.

Claim 4

In an anchorage for a webbing of a vehicle seat belt system, said anchorage being of the type that when an abrupt tensile force is applied to the webbing, a bracket fixed on a seat slide rail is deformed to bring a pin of a base plate secured on the bracket into engagement with a recess of an anchor stay fixed on a stationary base of a vehicle thereby to distribute the abrupt tensile force to the stationary base, the improvement wherein the bracket comprises a first bracket fixed on the seat slide rail, a second bracket secured on the base plate, and a fastening means for uniting together the first and second brackets at front parts thereof as viewed in the direction of the seat slide rail one of the first bracket and second bracket is provided with an engaged portion at a rear part thereof as viewed in the direction of the seat slide rail and the other bracket is provided with a matching engaging portion at a rear part thereof, and the engaged portion and engaging portion are normally maintained in mutual engagement but when a load of at least a predetermined value is applied to the base plate, the mutual engagement between the engaged portion and engaging portion is released so as to permit deformation of the second bracket.

Claim 5

The anchorage as claimed in claim 2, wherein the engaged portion is a recess and the engaging portion is a lug.

Claim 6

The anchorage as claimed in claim 2, wherein the anchor stay is arranged alongside the seat slide rail with an interval left therebetween, the first bracket has an extension extending toward the anchor stay beyond the seat slide rail, and the second bracket is supported on the extension.

Claim 7

The anchorage as claimed in claim 4, wherein the engaging portion is provided with the extension of . the first bracket, the engaged portion is provided with the second bracket at a location corresponding to the engaging portion of the first bracket, and a means uniting the first and second brackets together is provided on a side forward the engaging and engaged portions as seen in the longitudinal direction of the seat slide rail.

Claim 8

In an anchorage for a webbing of a vehicle seat belt system, said anchorage being of the type that when an abrupt tensile force is applied to the webbing, a bracket fixed on a seat slide rail is deformed to bring a pin of a base plate secured on the bracket into engagement with a recess of an anchor stay fixed on a stationary base of a vehicle thereby to distribute the abrupt tensile force to the stationary base, the improvement wherein the anchor stay is arranged alongside the seat slide rail with an interval left therebetween, and the bracket comprises a first bracket fixed on the seat slide rail and a second bracket which is secured on the base plate and is deformed upon application of the abrupt tensile force of at least said predetermined value to the webbing, the first bracket has an extension extending toward the anchor stay beyond the seat slide rail, the second bracket is formed of a substantially L-shaped plate member having a base portion seated on the extension of the first bracket and a raised portion extending upright from the base portion, an engaged portion is provided with one of the first bracket and second bracket, an engaging portion is provided with the other bracket, and the engaged portion and engaging portion are normal maintained in mutual engagement.

Claim 9

In an anchorage for a webbing of a vehicle seat belt system, said anchorage being of the type that when an abrupt tensile force is applied to the webbing, a bracket fixed on a seat slide rail is deformed to bring a pin of a base plate secured on the bracket into engagement with a recess of an anchor stay fixed on a stationary base of a vehicle thereby to distribute the abrupt tensile force to the stationary base, the improvement wherein the anchor stay is arranged alongside the seat slide rail with an interval left therebetween, and the bracket comprises a first bracket fixed on the seat slide rail and a second bracket which is secured on the base plate and is deformed upon application of the abrupt tensile force of at least said predetermined value to the webbing, the first bracket has an extension extending toward the anchor stay beyond the seat slide rail, the second bracket is formed of a substantially L-shaped plate member having a base portion seated on the extension of the first bracket and a raised portion extending upright from the base portion, an engaged portion is provided with one of the first bracket and second bracket, an engaging portion is provided with the other bracket, and the engaged portion and engaging portion are normal maintained in mutual engagement.
