Abstract: A seat belt system (20) includes a manifold assembly (60) having an inner housing (68) and an outer housing (70) which extends at least part way around the inner housing. One of the housings (68 or 70) is movable relative to a vehicle with a portion of the seat belt system. The other housing is connected with a source (54) of inflation fluid. In one specific embodiment of the invention, inner and outer housings (68 and 70) of the manifold assembly (60) extend around a portion of an anchor (36) for a seat belt (40). In this embodiment, the housings (68 and 70) have arcuate configurations and have axes which are coincident with a central axis (84) of the anchor (36). In addition to being pivotal relative to each other, the housings (68 and 70) may be movable transversely to each other. A seal (136) may be provided between the housings.

Abstract: A vehicle seat assembly having a seat back, a seat bottom and a headrest coupled to the seat back and slidably moveable between a lower position against the seat back and an upper position spaced above the seat back. A child restraint seat is recessed in the seat back and pivotal between a folded position against the seat back and an unfolded use position extending downwardly against the seat bottom. An interlocking member includes a support housing for slidably receiving the headrest and a latch coupled to the support housing interacts between the headrest and child seat for locking the child seat in the folded position in response to the headrest being raised to any selective position above the lower position and unlocking the child seat to allow pivotal movement to the unfolded use position when the headrest is in the lower position.
