ABSTRACT:
A passive seat belt system includes a guide rail, a movable anchor, drive means for causing the anchor to travel along the rail, a base to be mounted on a vehicle body and equipped with plural interlocking portions arranged with a vertical interval when mounted on the vehicle body, and a support member displaceable between an engagement position, at which the member engages either one of the interlocking portions of the base so as to restrain an occupant with a webbing fastened to the anchor, and a non-engagement position. The member is composed of a single rod-like member which in the event of emergency, engages the anchor assuming the occupant-restraining position so as to transmit a load exerted on the anchor to the vehicle body by way of the base. The above system permits, with a relatively simple and compact structure, easy wearing and release of a webbing without need for occupant's hands and change of the holding position of the anchor depending on the physical constitution of the occupant.
