ABSTRACT:
A webbing guide device for use in a seatbelt system wherein one end of an occupant protecting webbing is engaged with a vehicle door and the other end thereof is engaged with the substantially central portion of a vehicle and, when the door is opened, the intermediate portion of the webbing is moved in the forward direction in the vehicle to form a space for an occupant to enter or leave the vehicle between a seat and itself. The intermediate portion of the webbing is guided by the forward end of an arm provided at the inboard side of the seat, and, when the occupant enters or leaves the vehicle, the arm is turned in the forward direction in the vehicle to bend the intermediate portion of the webbing so that the entering and leaving the vehicle by the occupant can be facilitated. Since the axis of a shaft supporting the arm is shifted to a certain extent from the lateral axial line of the vehicle, the arm does not interfere with a shift knob for the speed change when the arm is turned in the forward direction in the vehicle. Further, the arm is provided at the intermediate portion thereof with a bent portion, so that the arm does not interfere with the seat while being turned.
