ABSTRACT:
The invention discloses a method and device for releasably gripping an inertia reel seatbelt provided in a motor vehicle. The device includes a body adapted to be spatially movable along a seatbelt, relative to both the seatbelt and the motor vehicle to which the seatbelt is fitted. A gripping member is pivotally joined to the body so that an opening is formed between the body and the gripping member for receiving the seatbelt. A locking formation is associated with the body and the gripping member, and has associated first and second oppositely facing locking members, the first locking member being provided on the body and the second locking member being provided on the gripping member. The first and second locking members are adapted to releasably lockingly engage the seatbelt to prevent spatial movement of the body relative to the seatbelt, while allowing spatial movement of the body relative to the motor vehicle.
