ABSTRACT:
A vehicular bench seat is supported on two spaced adjustment tracks in a vehicle for fore and aft position adjustment. A seat belt buckle moves with the seat during position adjustment. The buckle is connected to a slider-body which, in turn, is slideably carried along a track attached to the underbody of the vehicle. When a load is applied to the seat belt buckle, the slider body is pivoted into engagement with a tooth bar adjacent the track to lock the slider body and the buckle relative to the underbody. A drag link pivotally extends from the slider body and connects to the seat bottom for moving the slider body and the attached buckle in unison with the seat during fore and aft position adjustment.
