ABSTRACT:
A three-point passive seat belt system includes a continuous-loop restraint belt having upper and lower ends attached to the door and a control belt having an outboard end attached to a junction ring which encircles the continuous-loop belt to define lap and shoulder belt portions. An inboard retractor winds the control belt when the door is closed to establish the lap and shoulder belt portions respectively across the lower and upper torso of the occupant. The outboard end of the lap belt is attached to the door by a resilient anchor strap and disconnect buckle located substantially forward on the door to permit limited forward excursion of the occupant lower torso simultaneous with limited forward excursion of the upper torso to maintain the occupant in a more vertically upright position to thereby limit forward rotational excursion of the head. An auxiliary buckle is mounted on the vehicle body adjacent the outboard side of the passenger seat and more rearwardly than the doormounted disconnect buckle for engagement by the lap belt to restrain a child occupant against forward excursion of the lower torso. The lap belt is also engaged with the auxiliary buckle for restraint of a child seat so that the lap belt remains disposed in restraining position across the child seat when the door is opened.
