ABSTRACT:
A seat belt system includes a cable for attachment of a seat belt buckle to a vehicle structure. The cable transmits forces from the buckle to the vehicle structure. The buckle has a base plate with a pair of facing channels. The cable has a loop intermediate its ends and parallel extending end portions. Opposite portions of the loop are located in the channels in the base plate. A member is attached to the base plate and located in the loop and has surface portions engageable with the loop. The channels retain the opposite portions of the loop against the member, and the member transmits forces acting on the buckle to the cable. An attachment plate connects the cable to the vehicle structure. The attachment plate has a channel with a bottom wall for receiving the end portions of the cable. A plurality of projections on the attachment plate clamp the end portions of the cable against the channel bottom wall to secure the cable to the attachment plate. The attachment plate is connected to the vehicle structure to transmit force from the cable through the attachment plate to the vehicle structure.
