ABSTRACT:
An occupant restraining belt arrangement for a vehicle having a lap belt with one end fixed to a lower rear portion on the inside of a vehicle door. A first inertia retractor is mounted adjacent a lower inboard portion of a vehicle seat to receive and retract the other end of the lap belt. A shoulder belt has one end secured to an intermediate portion of the lap belt. A second inertia retractor is mounted adjacent an outboard portion of a roof of the vehicle body behind the seat to receive and retract the other end of the shoulder belt and a belt hanger is fixedly mounted on the vehicle body within the occupant compartment forward and above the seat. The length along the lap belt between the one end thereof and the intermediate portion thereof and the length of the shoulder belt, when the shoulder belt is fully extended from the second inertia retractor, are so determined as to provide an arrangement in which when the shoulder belt is hung on the belt hanger and the door is opened to its fully opened position, the lap belt and the shoulder belt assume a position for easy entry of an occupant in which the intermediate portion of the lap belt takes a position spaced forward of the body of an occupant of the seat. When the shoulder belt is removed from the belt hanger and the door is closed, the lap belt and shoulder belt take an occupant-restraining position in which the intermediate portion of the lap belt takes a position adjacent an outboard portion of the seat so that the shoulder belt extends across the chest of the occupant of the seat.
