  • Patent number: 5102166
    Abstract: A device for the vertical adjustment of the upper anchorage or deflection point of a safety belt system as a function of the longitudinal displacement of an associated motor vehicle seat. Displacement of the seat is transmitted by a cable coupled to a guide rail and a slider vertically displaceable therein between a lower and an upper stop and accommodating an attachment fitting or sash guide. Vertically correct adaptation, even to persons sitting relatively far back and having a relatively small upper body is achieved by an arrangement which permits further cable movement, directed counter a spring force, when the slider runs up against the upper stop and the motor vehicle seat is pushed further back.

  • Patent number: 4969664
    Abstract: In a vertically displaceable safety belt fitting, to ensure that, even when high displacement forces occur, a first catch element of the slideably displaceable anchoring element received by a guide rail fixed to the vehicle body executes a downwardly directed movement after it has run up against an associated pawl and after an actuating button has been released, whereby, when the button is depressed again, the first catch element becomes capable of moving the associated pawl away, it is proposed to equip a release element carrying the first catch element with an upwardly directed slot on the same side as the bearing and to provide the release element with a spring which engages on the top side of the release element.
