  • Patent number: 4367886
    Abstract: A webbing supporting structure used in a seatbelt system wherein one end of a webbing is secured to a door and the other end is secured to substantially the central portion of a vehicle body for automatically fastening webbings to an occupant when the occupant enters the vehicle, is of such an arrangement that the webbing is secured to the door through an anchor plate capable of approaching or receding from the door and, when the door is opened, a wire drives the anchor plate under a door opening force to cause the webbing securing portion to approach the door so as to facilitate actions of the occupant entering or leaving the vehicle, and, when the door is closed, the wire causes the webbing securing portion to approach toward the occupant so as to improve the occupant restraining performance.
