Abstract

The application relates to an anchoring of end points of safety belts or safety belt buckle attachments for rear seats of motor vehicles with rear-wheel drive, especially passenger vehicles or estate cars, in the vehicle floor region. In order to stiffen such an anchoring so that the mounting points cannot travel in the direction of the tensile forces occuring in the case of stressing as a result of an accident, the invention provides for the end points, together with a bridge passing under a drive shaft, to be fixed to the vehicle floor on both sides of the drive shaft.
