ABSTRACT:
A height adjuster (10) for a shoulder belt (26) includes a base (20) which is mountable on a vehicle body and has a plurality of apertures (58). A carriage mechanism (80) is slidable along the base (20) and carries a belt guide (82). A latch mechanism (84) also is carried on the carriage mechanism (80). The latch mechanism (84) includes a latch member (190) which is pivotable about a first axis (210) relative to the carriage mechanism (80). The latch member (190) has an end portion (196) receivable in one of the apertures (58) for blocking movement of the carriage mechanism (80) relative to the base (20). At least one manually engageable release lever (240) is carried on the carriage mechanism (80) and is pivotable about a second axis (264) transverse to the first axis (210). The release lever (240) has a first portion (254) engageable with the latch member ( 190) for pivoting the latch member (190) about the first axis (210) to remove the end portion (196) of the latch member (190) from the one of the apertures (58) to release the carriage mechanism (80) for sliding movement relative to the base (20). The release lever (240) has a manually engageable second portion (248) for pivoting the release lever (240) about the second axis (264).
