ABSTRACT:
A seat belt anchor with a first leg which has a first shank carried by a first base. The shank is elongate, generally tubular, with a top, a longitudinal axis, and an axial recess. The axial recess has an end which is open to the top of the shank. The base, which carries the shank, is generally flat with top and bottom surfaces and a hole for receiving a bolt.
The first base is joined to the first shank at the end of the shank distal from the top of the shank and the open end of the recess. The longitudinal axis of the first shank is curved toward the top of the first base at a first curving angle A which is less than 180 degrees, desirably, 110 to 140 degrees and preferably about 135 degrees.
The first curving angle A has an apex which is disposed a first selected distance from the top of the first shank.
The seat belt anchor has a second leg similar to the first leg.
The first base is disposed over the second base and arranged with longitudinal axes of the first and second respective bases being crossed one over the other and the holes in alignment. The first and second shanks are bent toward one another and have respective first and second bending angles C and D.
The first and second bending angles are each selected so that the recesses are within about 10 degrees of being parallel with respect to each other when the first and second bases are arranged as described immediately above.
A method of making the seat belt anchor of the invention is also provided.
