ABSTRACT:
A restraining belt includes an inboard lap belt piece connected to an outboard lap belt piece and a shoulder belt portion connected to the junction of the two lap belt pieces. One end of the inboard lap belt is received by a conventional inertia-lock belt retractor mounted rearward of a vehicle seat and inboard of it. An end of the outboard lap belt is received by a similar retractor mounted rearward of the seat and on the outboard side of it. An end of the shoulder belt is received by a third retractor mounted to a vehicle body rearward of the seat and adjacent to and above a frame for a vehicle door. There is a lower horizontal track adjacent the bottom edge of the door and door frame; and an upper track on the vehicle body along the uper edge of the door frame. An apertured outboard lap belt holder surrounds the outboard lap belt, and is movable with a carrier in the lower track from position adjacent the outboard retractor when the door is closed to a position adjacent the forward edge of the door when the door is opened. An apertured shoulder belt holder surrounds the shoulder belt and is movable with a carrier in the upper track from position adjacent the shoulder belt retractor when the door is closed to position adjacent the forward edge of the door frame when the door is opened.
