ABSTRACT:
A motor vehicle occupant restraint belt system has a slide loop pivotally mounted on the pillar and dividing the belt into a retractable portion extending vertically along the pillar to a retractor and a restraint portion movable between an occupant restraining position extending across the occupant and a stored position extending along the pillar. A molded plastic sheath is pivotally mounted in conjunction with the slide loop and has a tubular sleeve which encloses a segment of the restraint portion of the belt. A retainer clip is provided on the pillar below the slide loop and retains the sheath in a stored position retaining the restraint portion of the belt stored against the pillar. The tubular sleeve has a reverse flange extending along the length thereof and adapted to capture the retractable portion of the belt when the sheath is stored against the pillar to prevent flapping in the airflow admitted through the door window. A friction detent is provided between the sheath and the pillar at the pivotal mount therebetween and functions to maintain the sheath at its pivotal orientation obtained during previous use of the belt in the restraining positions so that the sheath remains poised at that angular orientation and upon subsequent occupant reentry presents the belt to the occupant at this angular orientation.
