Seatbelt system

摘要

A seatbelt system wherein the outer end of a passenger restraining belt is anchored to a runner piece which is guided by a guide rail fastened to the vehicle body. A runner gear mounted on the runner piece engages with a linear guide gear which is installed in the guide rail and a plurality of openings formed in a flexible tape. Flexible tape is driven in a direction of the length of the guide rail by means of a driving mechanism and when the flexible tape is driven, the running gear rolls along the guide gear to thereby cause the runner piece and the belt to move so that the belt approaches or move away from the passenger.
