Abstract

A seat belt hanging and holding member of the present invention is capable of reducing manufacturing cost by reducing the material cost required for a coating member while improving safety. The seat belt hanging and holding member 10 slidably hangs and holds a seat belt by folding back an intermediate part of the seat belt (waving belt) 74. The member 10 comprises a base member, 20 made of a metal plate having a slot 22 and a coating member 30 made of a synthetic resin which covers at least the periphery of the slot 22 of the base member 20 and is provided with a seat belt-inserting hole 31 on a part corresponding to the slot 22. The slot 22 is provided with an edge part 22a corresponding to at least the part on which the seat belt 74 is folded back, which is formed in a smoothly curved surface along the direction in which the seat belt 74 is folded back.
