Guide for seatbelt webbing

摘要

A one-piece stamped metal guide ( 128 ) for seatbelt webbing ( 112 ) in a vehicle ( 108 ) includes a mounting portion ( 242 ) for mounting the guide in the vehicle. The mounting portion ( 242 ) defines a mounting plane ( 352 ). A guiding portion ( 244 ) includes a guiding surface ( 256 ) having at least one guide element ( 258 ) stamped in the metal forming the guiding portion. A portion of the guiding surface ( 256 ) including the at least one guide element ( 258 ) is positioned outside the mounting plane ( 352 ). Laterally spaced side portions ( 246 ) connect the guiding portion ( 244 ) with the mounting portion ( 242 ). The mounting portion ( 242 ), guiding portion ( 244 ), and side portions ( 246 ) define a webbing slot ( 248 ) for receiving the seatbelt webbing ( 112 ) for sliding movement over the guiding surface ( 256 ).
