ABSTRACT:
A fastening device for a safety belt in motor vehicles comprises a guiding member to be mounted on the vehicle frame or on some other carrier in the vehicle in such a way that a clearance is created between the guiding member and the carrier and comprising also a runner, to which one end of the safety belt or corresponding organ is attached, and which may be displaced along the guiding member to be positioned in different positions, said positions being determined by a number of holes (40) or recesses disposed along the guiding member. The guiding member is a channel-shaped rail (30) with a web-section (39), which faces the clearance (39) and with side flanges (32) which first project from the web-section and then turn inwards towards each other. The in-turned parts (34) form between them a longitudinal channel (35) and are provided with said recesses or holes. The runner comprises both external parts (44) outside the rail and internal parts (45) essentially inside the rail, as well as connecting means (46) there between. The connecting means extent through the longitudinal channel of the rail. The external parts include a sleeve runner (44), enclosing entirely the rail. A back portion of the sleeve runner is positioned in the clearance between the rail and its carrier (36). The sleeve runner is provided with at least two holes (50) or a corresponding larger hole (50'), thus positioned that they/it may be placed above the holes or recesses of the rail. The internal parts include /a/ locking member/s/ (47, 47', 54, 65) arranged to enter simultaneously at least one of the holes or recesses in each of the two in-turned parts of the rail. The connecting means (46) comprises means to move said locking member/s/ inward and outward with respect to the said to release and engage, respectively, said locking member/s/ from and with, respectively, said recesses or hole/s/ of the rail as well as the hole/s/ of the sleeve runner positioned outside the rail.
