ABSTRACT:
A restraint belt guide loop assembly for deflecting a belt from a retractor to a diagonal position across the occupant upper torso includes a mounting frame pivotally mounted on the vehicle body with the belt passing between upper and lower belt clamping shoes movably mounted on the frame so that downward acting tension on the belt urges the lower shoe downwardly. A pair of C-shaped levers are mounted on the bracket adjacent the ends of the shoes. Each lever includes an upper arm bearing on the upper shoe and a lower arm supporting the lower shoe so that downward movement of the lower shoe by the tension on the belt pivots the lever and forces the upper shoe downwardly toward the lower shoe. The upper arm is longer than the lower arm so that the pivoting movement of the lever causes the downward movement on the upper shoe to be greater than the downward movement of the lower shoe so that the upper shoe overtakes the lower shoe and clamps the belt between the shoes against sliding movement through the frame.
