Abstract

A device for the vertical adjustment of the upper anchorage or deflection point of a safety belt system as a function of the longitudinal displacement of an associated motor vehicle seat. Displacement of the seat is transmitted by a cable coupled to a guide rail and a slider vertically displaceable therein between a lower and an upper stop and accommodating an attachment fitting or sash guide. Vertically correct adaptation, even to persons sitting relatively far back and having a relatively small upper body is achieved by an arrangement which permits further cable movement, directed counter a spring force, when the slider runs up against the upper stop and the motor vehicle seat is pushed further back.
