ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a seat belt arrangement for the rear seats of motor vehicles in which the seat cushions of the rear seats can be folded away without interference by the seat belts, and no portions of the seat belt system form an obstruction on the vehicle floor. The belt buckle is secured to a lever which is mounted for pivoting movement on the frame of the seat bottom so that the buckle is concealed within an opening in the seat bottom or projects up out of the opening to buckle a seat belt. This lever is provided with a hook which is adapted for engagement into a latch on the floor when the lever is pivoting such that the belt buckle will project through the opening and out of the seat bottom. The pivoting movement of the lever is achieved by way of the actuating mechanism which is located inboard of the seat bottom and abutting thereon, and which will cause pivoting movement of the lever when the seat cushion of the seat bottom is being depressed.
