Abstract

An apparatus for positioning a vehicle safety belt, particularly a shoulder belt, includes a locking mechanism with multiple locking positions. Upon activation, the apparatus positions a safety belt around a vehicle passenger and the belt is retained in one of the locking positions according to the size of the passenger. The locking position is determined by the angle between the safety belt and a horizontal line.
