ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for restricting relative sliding movement of first and second belt portions arranged in an overlapping side-by-side relationship is usable with a three-point safety seat belt system for securing a child's seat on a vehicle seat. The apparatus includes a V-shaped member having a pair of leg portions and a bight portion interconnecting the leg portions. The V-shaped member has an opening in the bight portion. A bar is pivotally connected to the leg portions of the V-shaped member. When it is desired to secure a child's seat on a vehicle seat, the lap belt portion is extended around the child's seat and a tongue plate slidably fastened to the lap and shoulder belt portions is secured to a belt buckle. With the bar in an open position, a loop formed from overlapped lap and shoulder belt portions of the seat belt webbing adjacent the tongue plate is inserted through the opening in the bight portion of the V-shaped member. The bar is received in the loop and is moved to a closed position between the leg portions. The bar clamps the lap and shoulder belt portions of the loop against the V-shaped member when tension is applied at least to one of the belt portions to restrict relative sliding movement of the lap and shoulder belt portions.
