ABSTRACT:
An improved three-point passive belt restraint system having a flexible shoulder belt positioning arm. The flexible belt positioning arm is adapted for positioning the shoulder belt adjacent the occupants shoulder when the belt restraint system is in the occupant restraint position. Further, the flexible belt positioning arm is mounted to a sled whereby the sled and positioning arm are moved away from the occupant to an occupant non-restraint position upon door opening.
The flexible belt positioning arm includes an upper tube arm attached to the sled and a lower tube arm which includes a web guide for guiding and positioning the shoulder belt adjacent the occupant's shoulder. The upper and lower tube arms are connected at their inner ends by a flexible connection. The flexible connection allows flexing of the upper and lower tube arms relative each other to prevent occupant injury during crash conditions or inadvertent contact.
