Abstract

To prevent the possibility of the upper extremities of a strapped-in passenger in a convertible vehicle from going beyond the extension of the tiltable roll bar in the event that the vehicle turns over, despite the fact that the roll bar is erected, the latter is extended beyond its particular pivoting point, and this extension engages around the shoulder-belt part between its deflection point and the lower fastening point, and when the roll bar is swung up, causes a tautening of the belt-band run because the shoulder-belt part is taken up.
