ABSTRACT:
In a vehicle, a seatbelt extracted from a retractor is extended to and suspended by a webbing guide portion of a first rod, folded back in a predetermined direction by the webbing guide portion, and extended from a belt drawing-out portion. A load applied to the webbing guide portion when the seatbelt contacts it is dispersed by the first rod and one or more additional rods to prevent the load from concentrating at a portion of a body of the vehicle where the first rod is attached. As a result, it is not necessary to provide a large bracket for attaching the first rod to the vehicle body. With this arrangement, the weight and the cost of parts can be reduced while securing the strength thereof and realizing a belt folding-back function, and further a degree of design freedom of the layout can be improved.
