<p>An automotive vehicle occupant restraint belt system includes lap and shoulder belts with first ends connected to a common D-ring that is selectively attached to a buckle to secure the belt system in an occupant restraining position. The other end of the lap belt is received by an automatic locking type retractor and the other end of the shoulder belt is received by an inertia type locking retractor after first passing through a stop mounted on the seat back of the seat with which the belt system is associated. The retractors normally tension the belts across the occupant's lap and chest while in the restraining position. A plastic comfort clip of a one-piece construction is positioned on the shoulder belt between the D-ring and the stop and includes a rectangular base of a generally planar configuration with integral wings at each lateral end thereof that prevent the clip from moving through the seat back mounted stop. A pair of clamping portions integrally connected to the ends of the base extend about the respective edges of the shoulder belt back toward each other with generally ogee configurations that terminate short of each other so as to define a slot. An intermediate portion of the shoulder belt is inserted between the clamping portions and the base so as to be clamped by the clip. The clamping force exerted on the shoulder belt is not so large as to prevent the clip from being readily slid along the shoulder belt by a manual effort so as to allow adjustment. However, the clamping force is sufficiently large to prevent the shoulder belt retractor from pulling the shoulder belt through the clip. The clip is adjusted so that the wings thereof engage the stop and prevent the shoulder belt retractor from tensioning the shoulder belt across the occupant's chest.</p> |
