Vehicle occupant restraining belt with device to provide an arrangement in which shoulder belt is prevented from touching seated occupant's neck

摘要

A channel shaped member is mounted on a roof within an occupant compartment. The channel shaped member slidably receives an intermediate portion of a shoulder belt that has one end received within a retractor mounted on the roof within the occupant compartment adjacent an outboard upper rear portion of a vehicle seat and that has its other end secured to an intermediate portion of a lap belt. The channel shaped member thus provides an arrangement in which the shoulder belt extends diagonally across the chest portion of the seated occupant without touching the occupant's neck.
