Abstract

A roller guide assembly for a safety belt comprising a holder which can be secured to a vehicle part and which journals a guide roller between two bearings. In this, the bearings are formed resiliently. The invention prevents the bearings from prematurely wearing and avoids many of the high stress to which bearings in other roller guides are subjected.
