ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is a passive seat belt system suitable for use in a vehicle such as passenger car. It is constructed of a guide rail, a runner movable along the guide rail so as to guide a webbing between an occupant-restraining position and an occupant-releasing position, a force-transmitting member connected with the runner and driven along the length of the guide rail by drive means, an inertia-sensing member movable in response to changes in speed of the vehicle, and a pawl operable by the inertia-sensing member in the event of an emergency of the vehicle so that the pawl is brought into engagement with the force-transmitting member to restrain any further movement of the runner along the guide rail. It is thus possible to make a free selection as to the installation positions of the pawl and inertia-sensing member, thereby bringing about such an advantageous effect that the freedom has been increased in laying out a seat belt system.
