  • Patent number: 4789186
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a belt guide fitting for guiding a safety belt of three-point type at its upper anchor point. The guide fitting comprises a plate with a through slot for the belt. The plate is pivotally mounted on a pin which lies forward, relative to the vehicle, of the mid-point of the slot when the fitting is mounted in a vehicle body. In order to prevent the belt in a collision from sliding laterally in the through slot and bunching at the end of the slot, the plate in accordance with the invention cooperates with structure limiting the pivotal movement of the plate, this structure being designed, when the belt is subjected to a collision load, to fix the plate in a predetermined angular position for collision.
