A through anchor in which residual stress caused by thermal contraction is dispersed so as to reduce risk of crack formation in a resin molding portion. The through anchor includes a metal plate and a resin molding portion covering a portion of the metal plate. Usually, residual stress due to thermal contraction (shrinkage) differences between the resin molding portion and the metal plate is high in regions near both ends of the boundary between the resin molding portion and the metal plate. A notch portion is formed in each of the regions so as to expose a portion of the outer peripheral portion of the metal plate covered by the resin molding portion to the outside environment. Accordingly, although the resin molding portion thermally contracts after insert molding, the contraction of the resin molding portion is not retarded as much by the outer peripheral portion of the metal plate due to the outer peripheral portion of the metal plate being exposed. As a result, the risk of crack formation in the resin molding portion is reduced in this region.
A mini anchor with an improved upper structure comprises a lower part (1a) having a slot (2) for suspending the seatbelt and an upper part (1b) having a bolt-mounting sink (3) for directly mounting on a vehicle body. The bolt-mounting sink (3) has a cylindrical basin shape with predetermined depth. A bolt-hole (5) is formed on a bottom (4) center of bolt-mounting sink (3). The upper part of mini anchor is directly installed on the vehicle body with a proper clearance. This mini anchor is designed to delete a bushing being used in the conventional anchor assembly. Therefore, the overall assembly cost is remarkably reduced. Additionally, the workers are free from the worry of accidental omitting a bushing during the seatbelt assembly.
A seat belt guide has a bearing axis for the pivotal mounting of a guide body on a vehicle structure. The guide body has a flexing bar around which the seat belt webbing is guided. A fixing plate can be fixed on the vehicle structure pivotally around the bearing axis with a fixing bolt. Two flexing bar carriers rigidly connect the flexing bar is to the fixing plate at its two ends. The guide body is deformable when a specific load originates from the seat belt webbing, the flexing bar bending substantially symmetrically with respect to the fixing bolt.
A through anchor includes: a through anchor body that includes a through hole, through which the webbing belt passes, and a support, which is molded using a metal mold and forms part of an inner peripheral surface of the through hole, with a parting line produced during molding being formed on or near the support in the inner periphery of the through hole; and a low-friction member that passes through the through hole and is adhered onto the support, the low-friction member including modified portions and first and second ends in the direction in which the low-friction member passes through the through hole. By aligning the modified portions with the parting line when the low-friction member is passed through the through hole and adhered to the support, the length of the low-friction member at either side of the parting line is proportionally the same.
In a seat belt device comprising a webbing restraining a body of an occupant to a seat and a webbing guide for guiding the webbing in such a manner that the webbing guide comes into slide contact with the webbing, the webbing guide includes an insert fitting, a covering resin which covers the insert fitting by molding, and a metal member with which the webbing comes into slide contact, and the metal member has a surface thereof which comes into contact with the webbing protruded than the covering resin toward a webbing side.
A safety system including a web guide comprising: a load-bearing member; a roller rotationally supported in relation to the load-bearing member; a one-way clutch for permitting the roller to rotate in a first direction and for prohibiting the roller from rotating in an opposite second direction.
