ABSTRACT:
A passive vehicle passenger restraint belt system comprises a continuous belt having one end connected to the upper rear corner of a vehicle door and including a shoulder belt portion leading from that end to and passing freely through a control ring and a lap belt portion leading from the control ring to and passing freely through a transfer guide ring and then to an anchor on the lower rear portion of the door. A control belt, which has the control ring at one end, leads from an emergency locking retractor through a guide inboard of and generally below and rearwardly of a passenger position on the seat. A first flexible transfer element having one end secured to the transfer guide ring and the other end wound onto a winding device located on the lower rear portion of the door pulls the transfer guide ring rearwardly and downwardly along the door in response to closing motion of the door. A second flexible transfer element having one end secured to the transfer guide ring and leading from the guide ring generally forwardly and upwardly along the door, around a guide element and then to a driving device moves the guide ring forwardly and upwardly along the door in response to opening motion of the door. In the rearward position of the transfer guide ring, the control belt pulls the restraint belt into the passenger-restraining position. When the transfer guide ring moves forward upon opening of the vehicle door, it transfers the restraint belt to a passenger-releasing position generally parallel and close to the door.
