Abstract
A guide assembly for guiding a flexible element such as a seat belt relatively to a support such as a seat frame (1), comprises a mounting member (3) having an aperture for receiving an escutcheon member (4) for trimming an orifice through which the element is to pass. The mounting (3) and escutcheon member (4) are divided to enable lateral insertion of the flexible element therein, and the mounting (3) holds the divided escutcheon member together when the latter is inserted therein. The assembly may be supplemented by a divided guide conduit (5).
