Abstract
A seat belt webbing guide assembly (10) includes a base (50) mountable on a portion (42) of a vehicle. The base (50) includes a wall (60) and first and second columns (80, 82) of projections which project in a first direction (84) from the wall on opposite sides of an axis (62). Each one of the first projections (90, 92) is spaced apart axially from each one of the second projections (102, 104, 106). A carriage (120) is supported on the base (50) for axial sliding movement relative to the base. A seat belt guide (24) is located on the carriage (120). A first latch (170) on the carriage (120) is movable between a disengaged condition movable axially past the first projections (90, 92) and an engaged condition engageable with one of the first projections to block axial movement of the first latch and the carriage relative to the base (50). A second latch (200) on the carriage (120) is movable between a disengaged condition movable axially past the second projections (102, 104, 106) and an engaged condition engageable with one of the second projections to block axial movement of the second latch and the carriage relative to the base (50). The assembly (10) includes biasing springs (19…
