Abstract

The device for vertical adjustment of a safety belt fitting consists of a load-receiving guide rail and an anchoring element which is vertically displaceable in said rail and to which the safety belt fitting is anchored. Said anchoring element carries a load-receiving stop portion which cooperates with spring-loaded pawls which project into the linear path of movement of said rigid stop portion unless they are pressed by a release element into their release position. Said release position comprises apart from an actuating extension a blocking extension which in the actuated state of the release element projects into the path of movement of the rigid stop portion and consequently also cooperates with the pawls. Unintentional skipping of the respective next lower detent position is made impossible by this construction.
