  • Patent number: 4247131
    Abstract: A position-variable belt articulation apparatus for safety belts, especially for the upper, body-mounted pivot of three-point safety belts, having a clamping element adjustable along a guide, with at least one belt holder being associated with the clamping element which is tensioned against the guide by the belt as a function of the stress on the belt. The clamping element is guided in a longitudinally adjustable manner and is swivelable about an axis transverse to the direction of longitudinal adjustment. The clamping element, in one embodiment, can have clamping jaws which cooperate with the guide and which are associated with the belt holders. In another embodiment, the two clamping jaws are articulated to one another and have curved clamping surfaces for gripping the guide firmly therebetween to keep the clamping element at the appropriate height.
