ABSTRACT:
An adjustable shoulder anchorage for a vehicle safety belt comprises a vertically extending track mounted on the interior of the vehicle body above the level of the shoulders of an occupant of an occupant of an adjacent seat and having a plurality of indexing formations facing away from said seat. A traveller is mounted on the track and carries a guide member having a slot for receiving the strap of the safety belt. A latch member is mounted on the traveller for movement between a first position in which a latching formation thereon engages with one of the indexing means on the track so as to inhibit movement of the traveller along the track and a second position in which the latching formation is disengaged therefrom. The traveller includes a base plate on the same side of the track as the indexing formations and having emergency latching formations for engagement therewith, together with deformable means for holding the base plate away from the indexing formations in normal use. If the shoulder anchorage is subject to excessive load, the deformable means distorts to allow the emergency latching formations on the base plate to engage with the indexing formations. A pivotally mounted manual release lever is movable between a first position in which a blocking formation thereon engages with a complementary formation on the latch member to inhibit movement of the latter from its first position, an intermediate position in which said blocking formation is disengaged from said complementary formation and an actuating formation engages with the latch member, and a third position in which said actuating formation has moved the latch member into its second position.
