ABSTRACT:
A seat belt webbing guide (100) for directing seat belt webbing material (120) from a retractor to a shoulder belt (130) includes a one-piece cover and housing (10) in which a lightweight load bearing wire loop (60) is disposed in a substantially triangular shaped configuration. The bottom portion of the wire loop is maintained straight by a tubular element (75) and an idler roller (80) surrounding the tubular element (75) enables the webbing material to extend partially around the roller (80) through the loop opening with a low friction rolling engagement. The roller (80) is mounted in a recessed area (86) of the housing (10) between two upright end flanges (90) which laterally retain the webbing. The ends (62, 64) of the wire loop (60) opposite the roller (80) are introduced from opposite directions into a length of wall tubing (70) and arranged to overlap each other. When the tubing (70) is swedged, the tubing walls are deformed against the wire ends ( 62, 64) resulting in high frictional engagement between the ends (62, 64) and the tubing (70). The wall tubing (70) extends around a support collar (12) formed in the housing (10) for mounting on a load bearing area of the vehicle.
