ABSTRACT:
A safety belt fastening arrangement for an adjustable vehicle seat includes a latching element which can be latched in a latching rail affixed to the vehicle and which has a retaining part to receive, for example, a belt buckle for the safety belt. In its normal position, a deformation element assures that the latching element is kept out of engagement with the latching rail. When a predetermined safety-belt force is exceeded, the deformation element yields to permit the latching element to engage the latching rail so that the safety belt forces are transmitted directly into the vehicle body. The latching element is arranged behind a pivot point for the latching element toward the rear of the vehicle seat, permitting extremely short lever arms and very small clearances during the controlled engagement of the latching element with the latching rail. The deformation element is elastic and is retained in a retaining pocket fixed to the vehicle seat. The individual parts of the latching arrangement may be combined to form a subassembly.
