July 17, 2002
The safety belt loop is anchored by its lower end (5) on the movable part of the seat longitudinal guide system. At its upper end (6) it carries a belt clasp (7) able to receive a bolt (8) integral with the safety belt. The clasp is installed to slide vertically in a sheath integral with the movable part so as to take two stable positions. These positions are a retracted position corresponding to the locking of the bolt in the clasp when the clasp is positioned under a fictitious reference point (H) equivalent to the articulation of a passenger's hip sat on the seat, and a deployed position corresponding to the unlocking of the bolt from the clasp when the clasp is above the reference point.
