ABSTRACT:
A seat belt connecting device for connecting an outer belt composed of a lap belt portion and a shoulder belt portion to an inner belt, comprises a frame member, to which the inner belt is fastened, an outer belt supporting member which is rotatably and slidably supported by the frame member, an elastic member which is provided between the frame member and the outer belt supporting member and a locking member which is formed in the frame member for locking the outer belt supporting member. When the outer belt is tensioned due to the load applied by the occupant at an emergency time, the outer belt supporting member slides while being rotated, overcoming a pushing force of the elastic member until the outer belt supporting member is locked by the locking member. Consequently, the outer belt is stopped from being shifted with respect to the seat belt connecting device.
