Abstract

The device comprises a first belt portion which extends between a winder mounted on the door of the vehicle and a first belt support mounted on the upper rear part of the door, and a second belt portion forming a cross-belt which extends between the belt support and an anchoring point located substantially in the central part of the vehicle. The second belt portion is extended, in passing through a second belt support constituting the anchoring point, by a third belt portion which constitutes an abdominal belt. An end part of the third belt portion is connected to the first belt portion so as to cause this end part to be raised when the belt is extended upon opening the door.
