ABSTRACT:
A diagonal shoulder belt has an upper end attached to the vehicle body roof inboard the seat and a lower end mounted on the lower rear corner of the door by a retractor. A stiffening sleeve surrounds the uppermost portion of the shoulder belt and is pivoted to the vehicle roof. A track extends longitudinally along the roof forwardly from the point of attachment of the shoulder belt. A belt carriage is movable along the track and engages the stiffening sleeve during the initial forward movement of the carriage to abruptly pivot the stiffening sleeve from the vertically depending position to a horizontally raised position, thereby abruptly raising the shoulder belt forwardly of the occupant to a stowed position along the roof. Continued forward movement of the carriage beyond the stiffening sleeve progressively stows the shoulder belt along the roof.
