Seat belt device

A seat belt device comprising:

• a webbing comprising a lap belt and a shoulder belt, at least a portion of the lap belt being configured to be disposed to extend in a vehicle-width direction at a location extending along a front of an abdomen of an occupant, at least a portion of the shoulder belt being configured to be disposed obliquely relative to the vehicle width direction at a position extending along a front of a chest of the occupant;
• a locking tongue comprising a slit that is provided to insert an intermediate portion of the webbing therein, the locking tongue being provided between the lap belt and the shoulder belt, the locking tongue being configured to be coupled to a vehicle body when the occupant fastens the seat belt device, the locking tongue being configured to undergo a change from a free state to a lock state in accordance with a collision or a warning of the collision of a vehicle, the free state being a state in which the webbing is capable of passing between a side of the lap belt and a side of the shoulder belt, the lock state being a state in which the webbing is not capable of passing between the side of the lap belt and the side of the shoulder belt;
• a guide configured to displace a location on the shoulder belt that is adjacent to the locking tongue in a direction away from the occupant in the vehicle-width direction in response to the change from the free state to the lock state of the locking tongue, and wherein
• the locking tongue comprises a main body and a movable member, the main body being provided to insert the webbing therein, the movable member being mounted at the main body to be displaceable relative to the main body and restraining the webbing in the lock state, and
• the guide is coupled to the movable member or is integrally molded with the movable member.

• a guide configured to displace a location on the shoulder belt that is adjacent to the locking tongue in a direction away from the occupant in the vehicle-width direction in response to the change from the free state to the lock state of the locking tongue, and wherein the locking tongue is caused to undergo the change from the free state to the lock state by an actuator, and
• wherein the seat belt device comprises a controller that causes the actuator to be operated in accordance with the collision or the warning of the collision of the vehicle.
