Abstract

Fitting for a safety belt for motor vehicles. The fitting is mounted on an adjustment element which is vertically adjustable by displacement in a guide rail secured to the vehicle and adapted to be locked to the guide rail at different vertical positions. In this manner an adaptation of the support or deflection point to the size of the vehicle occupant is possible. According to the invention the adjustment element is in connection with a spring force accumulator tensioned with respect to said element and the guide rail, by which accumulator the displacement movement to be made by hand is aided upwardly and the forces originating from the belt and the weight of the adjustment element overcome, and the displacement movement downwardly is loaded, thus compensating for the aforementioned forces.
