ABSTRACT:
An energy absorbing mounting arrangement for a seat belt includes an anchorage assembly attached to a mounting plate. A D-ring is attached to the anchorage assembly and is operative for receiving a shoulder belt portion of the seat belt webbing. The anchorage assembly is preferably attached to the mounting plate at attachment points which are spaced apart on the mounting plate and are adapted to displace in an outboard direction when the anchorage assembly is subjected to a predetermined compression load. In one embodiment, the mounting plate is fixably attached to an inner side of the B-pillar and is formed to include a boss portion which passes through an aperture in the B-pillar. A fastener, such as a bolt, interconnects the anchorage assembly and the boss portion.
