ABSTRACT:
A vehicle occupant restraint system (10) includes a seat (12) and a length of belt webbing (42) connected with the seat. A belt webbing engaging member (62) on the seat frame (18) engages the belt webbing (42) for transferring forces from the belt webbing to the seat frame. The belt webbing engaging member (62) is mounted on a first one (110) of a plurality of interconnected seat frame members (72, 90, 110, 130, 150, 170). The seat frame members are movable relative to each other to form a truss (70) in response to the application of force from the belt webbing (42) in excess of a predetermined force. The truss (70) resists deformation of the seat frame (18) due to the forces transmitted to the seat frame.
