A seatbelt positioning assembly, includes a base member, an extensible member, a positioning mechanism and an electronic controller. The base member is configured to attach to a vehicle pillar structure of a vehicle adjacent to a vehicle seat assembly. The extensible member is coupled to the base member and has a D-ring of a seatbelt assembly fixed a distal end thereof. The positioning mechanism is connected to the extensible member and is supported to the base member. The position mechanism is configured to move the extensible member such that the D-ring is positioned and re-positioned between a stowed position adjacent the vehicle pillar structure and an extended position adjacent to the vehicle seat assembly. The electronic controller is connected to the positioning mechanism and configured to operate the positioning mechanism to move the extensible member positioning the D-ring between the stowed position and the extended position.

A vehicle seatbelt device includes: a three-point seatbelt, a tongue having a long hole through which an intermediate portion of the seatbelt is inserted, a buckle that has a buckle main body at which the tongue is anchored and a stay that extends from the buckle main body toward a vehicle lower side and is connected to the vehicle seat, a forward tilting mechanism that tilts the stay toward a seat front side at a time of a vehicle collision or at a time a vehicle collision is predicted, and a shoulder pretensioner that pulls in a shoulder belt of the seatbelt at a time of a vehicle collision, wherein a lower end portion of the buckle main body and an upper end portion of the stay are connected rotatably around an axis along a seat transverse direction.

An adjusting device for a safety belt in a vehicle comprises at least one extendable belt guiding element which is provided for guiding a portion of the safety belt and at least one supporting element which is connected to the belt guiding element and which is able to be at least partially extended together with the belt guiding element. The belt guiding element is able to be extended from a resting position in a direction of extension in order to facilitate the grasping of the safety belt by a vehicle occupant when fastening the safety belt. The supporting element is flexible but in the extended state of the belt guiding element is sufficiently rigid at least in one portion transversely to the direction of extension such that the belt guiding element is held in an extended position via the now rigid portion of the supporting element.

An assembly includes a webbing. The assembly includes a first webbing guide receiving the webbing. The assembly includes a second webbing guide receiving the webbing and releasably secured to the first webbing guide. The assembly includes an actuator. The assembly includes a cable secured to the actuator and to the second webbing guide.

An assembly includes a vehicle roof and a vehicle floor spaced from the vehicle roof. The assembly includes a seatbelt assembly for accommodating a wheelchair. The seatbelt assembly is slidably supported by the vehicle roof and the vehicle floor. The seatbelt assembly is slidable along the vehicle roof and the vehicle floor along a vehicle-longitudinal axis. The seatbelt assembly has a seatbelt webbing elongated in a direction from the vehicle roof to the vehicle floor. The assembly includes a seatbelt buckle slidably supported by the vehicle floor. The seatbelt buckle is slidable relative to the vehicle floor along the vehicle-longitudinal axis.

In a seatbelt device, a guide face of a guide section of a base member of a support device is configured by a flat inclined face that is displaced toward a seat lower side on progression toward a seat left side. Accordingly, a slider is capable of sliding smoothly toward a seat right side end of a permitted slide range of the slider under urging force of a compression coil spring when an increase in tension on a webbing due to actuation of a motor in a vehicle emergency is released.

A webbing guide for a vehicle seat includes a base defining a length between a first end and a second end and defining a plurality of pairs of corresponding spaced-apart post holes extending through the base between top and bottom surfaces thereof. The webbing guide further includes a guide body coupled with the base and defining a guide channel extending through the guide body in a direction generally normal to the length of the base and normal to the post holes.

A seatbelt positioning assembly, includes a base member, an extensible member, a positioning mechanism and an electronic controller. The base member is configured to attach to a vehicle pillar structure of a vehicle adjacent to a vehicle seat assembly. The extensible member is coupled to the base member and has a D-ring of a seatbelt assembly fixed a distal end thereof. The positioning mechanism is connected to the extensible member and is supported to the base member. The position mechanism is configured to move the extensible member such that the D-ring is positioned and re-positioned between a stowed position adjacent the vehicle pillar structure and an extended position adjacent to the vehicle seat assembly. The electronic controller is connected to the positioning mechanism and configured to operate the positioning mechanism to move the extensible member positioning the D-ring between the stowed position and the extended position.

A webbing guide for a vehicle seat includes a base defining a length between a first end and a second end and defining first and second spaced-apart post holes extending through the base between top and bottom surfaces thereof. The webbing guide further includes a guide body coupled with the base and defining a guide channel extending through the guide body in a direction generally normal to the length of the base and normal to the posts.

A seatbelt buckle assembly and method for a vehicle includes a buckle housing moveable between a fixed presentation state wherein the buckle housing is presented in a fixed position for receipt of an associated seatbelt tongue member and a loose flexible state wherein the buckle housing is at least pivotable for moving laterally within the vehicle. The seatbelt buckle assembly further includes a seat cushion defining a buckle aperture through which the buckle housing is received. The buckle housing is slidable in a first direction into the buckle aperture to move the buckle housing into the fixed presentation state and slidable in a second direction outward away from the buckle aperture to move the buckle housing into the loose flexible state. The second direction is opposite the first direction.
