Abstract: A system for positioning occupant restraints in a vehicle includes a pair of cooperative embodiments. A first embodiment comprises a clamp removably securable about an occupant restraint belt (preferably the shoulder strap, but the device may be applied to the lap belt, as well). The device includes a lateral slide bearing upon a pressure plate for applying clamping pressure to the belt. The clamp is particularly useful in securing to a shoulder harness, to preclude retraction of the strap through the “B” pillar guide for allowing some slack in the strap for occupant comfort. The second embodiment comprises two mating components hinged together at one end, with a series of mating slots therein. A shoulder harness slot and latch mechanism is provided opposite the hinge. The device is opened and secured about the support rods of an adjustable height headrest, with the shoulder strap passing through the shoulder strap guide.
