Patent number: 10112574Abstract: In an anchor (10), an insertion hole (42) is formed piercing through an anchor main body (36), and a belt is inserted through the insertion hole (42). A projection (44) is formed at the anchor main body (36) around the entire periphery of the insertion hole (42), and the projection (44) configures an outer peripheral face of the insertion hole (42). The projection (44) projects out toward the radial direction outer side of the insertion hole (42). The surface area of a portion configured by the projection (44) at the outer peripheral face of the insertion hole (42) can accordingly be increased, and the contact surface area of the belt with the outer peripheral face of the insertion hole (42) can be increased, even when the plate thickness dimension of the anchor main body (36) is reduced. This thereby enables the plate thickness dimension of the anchor main body (36) to be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2014Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: ENSHU CO., LTD.Inventor: Tadao Ito

Patent number: 9598047Abstract: In a through anchor (10), when an occupant is restrained by webbing (30) in a vehicle emergency, the webbing (30) is moved to the vehicle front side in an insertion hole (22) of a guide piece (18) by movement of the occupant due to inertia, and a vehicle front side end face of the webbing (30) contacts a peripheral face of the insertion hole (22) at high load. A gap is formed between the guide piece (18) and an anchor plate (12). The guide piece (18) is accordingly moved to the vehicle front side with respect to the anchor plate (12) by the webbing (30), thereby enabling occurrence of skewing of the webbing (30) toward the vehicle front side in the insertion hole (20) to be suppressed.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2013Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: Enshu Co., LtdInventor: Tadao Ito

Publication number: 20160159318Abstract: At a through anchor, a guide piece is molded at a periphery of a through-hole of an anchor plate. A webbing is inserted-through an insert-through hole of the guide piece, and the webbing is slidably supported by the guide piece. Further, the guide piece is not fixed to an entire outer peripheral end surface of the anchor plate. Here, an anchor plate thickness direction dimension of a thick portion, that is formed at an edge portion of the through-hole periphery of the anchor plate, is made to be larger than other portions of the anchor plate. Therefore, positional offset of the guide piece with respect to the anchor plate can be suppressed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2013Publication date: June 9, 2016Inventor: Tadao ITO
