ABSTRACT:
A webbing guide for redirecting a seat-belt webbing in a vehicle, having a seat-belt system, and a vehicle seat assembly. This webbing guide allows the seat-belt webbing to be readily secured to and released from the upper portion of the seatback member of the vehicle seat assembly. The preferred webbing guide comprises a guide body mountable to the upper portion of the seatback member of the vehicle seat assembly. An arm member pivotally engages the guide body, and is thereby movable between an open configuration and a closed configuration for selectively securing the seat-belt webbing to the guide body in readily releasable relation. Further embodiments provide means, such as magnetically biasing means, for releasably retaining the arm member in the closed configuration. This webbing guide is especially useful in relation to vehicle seat assemblies of the type having a seatback member tippable between an upright and occupiable, deployed design configuration and a tipped configuration, which affords ready access rearward of the vehicle seat. The webbing guide is useful for overcoming the inconveniences posed by prior-art webbing guides.
