ABSTRACT:
A restraining system for vehicle occupants, the vehicle occupant moving forwardly in case of a head-on impact and, subsequently, rebounds and moves backwardly, comprises a vehicle seat with a seat area and a squab, each of the seat area and the squab being slanted at an angle with respect to the horizontal plane. The restraining system further includes a restraining belt, a belt buckle anchored to the vehicle seat by which the restraining belt is coupled with the vehicle seat so that tension load exerted by the forward movement of the occupant to the restraining belt is transferred to the vehicle seat via the belt buckle in a restraining situation, and a setting device. The setting device is adapted to convert the tension load into a displacing movement of at least a portion of at least one of the seat area and the squab to amend its angle of slant.
