ABSTRACT:
A passive belt system includes a continuous-loop belt having a shoulder belt portion fixedly mounted on the upper rear corner of the door and a lap belt portion mounted on the lower rear corner of the door by a storage retractor. The storage retractor normally holds the belt at a fully extended length therefrom but winds the lap belt portion upon disconnect of a release buckle connecting the loop belt with an anchor belt retractably mounted on the inboard side of the vehicle seat. An auxiliary buckle arrangement for converting the system for restraint of a child occupant or child seat includes a pushbutton buckle slidable along the lap belt portion of the continuous-loop belt and a latch plate on the door adjacent the storage retractor which is releasably engageable by the buckle to normally store the buckle. An auxiliary child latch plate is mounted on the vehicle body outboard the seat and is engageable by the buckle to establish an auxiliary anchorage to effectively shorten the length of the lap belt portion for improved restraint of a child or child seat upon the occupant seat. A belt cinching bar within the buckle functions to uncinch the lap belt portion for normal passage therethrough when the buckle is engaged with the door mounted latch plate and functions to cinch the lap belt portion when the buckle is engaged with the auxiliary child restraint latch plate.
