The three-point safety belt comprises an automatic winder and a pelvis strap mount, the pelvis strap mount being connected to a first prestressed spring, the mount being slidably mounted on a rod having on at least one side thereof engaging means. The mount has connected thereto cooperating engaging means for engaging the engaging means on the rod.
