ABSTRACT:
A seat belt anchorage device such as a retractor frame or an apertured plate includes a mounting member having an aperture adapted to receive a fastener for attaching the mounting member on a vehicle body structural member. The mounting member has a slot adjacent the aperture at a spaced relation therefrom to define a land surrounding the aperture, to define a load bearing wall spaced from the land, and define an isthmus integral with the land and extending generally normal to the direction of imposition of the seat belt load on the mounting member. The isthmus has a predetermined load sustaining capability and is permanently deformed upon imposition of an occupant restraining seat belt load greater than the load sustaining capability to provide a permanent record of imposition of an occupant restraining load on the anchorage device. Deformation of the isthmus permits limited bodily shifting movement of the mounting member to carry the load bearing wall into engagement with the land thereby blocking further movement of the mounting member and anchoring the seat belt for restraint of the occupant.
