Abstract

The belt system, advantageously including a retractor (13) mounted on the seat (1) and directly involving the lap belt section (8), comprises an attachment buckle (7) connected to its anchor point (10) by an expandable link device (11), which normally permits a range of movement of buckle (7) away from anchor point (10) or toward the latter (for example by means of a return spring), but provided with means to oppose the extraction of the buckle (7) under predetermined conditions of acceleration of the vehicle and/or of the belt.
