ABSTRACT:
A vehicle seat is mounted on the vehicle floor by a seat adjusting mechanism permitting fore and aft adjusting movement of the seat. A channel member is connected to the vehicle floor behind the seat and extends forwardly along the path of longitudinal seat adjustment movement. The channel member has opposed facing walls which are slidably engaged by a pair of wedge members having associated ramp surfaces. A seat belt is connected to the rearward one of the wedge members so that an occupant restraint load imposed upon the seat belt induces longitudinal forward movement of the rearward wedge member into locking engagement with the forward wedge member and the walls of the channel member so that the seat belt is fixed relative to the channel member and the occupant restraint load is transmitted through the channel member to the vehicle floor. A lost motion connection selectively and alternately connects the seat with the forward wedge member upon forward seat adjusting movement and with the rearward wedge upon rearward seat adjusting movement to establish the wedge members in non-locking positions relative the channel member and thereby enable longitudinal adjusting movement of the wedge member and the seat belt with the seat so that the seat belt is always carried at a certain position relative to the vehicle seat notwithstanding adjustment of the seat relative to the vehicle floor.
