Device for adjustably fastening a belt fitting to an automobile body

A device for adjustably fastening a fitting to an automobile body for a belt of a safety belt system for motor vehicle passengers, said device comprising a fitting that can be slidably adjusted manually, with an adjusting component that carries the fitting and is located in a guide that is attached to the automobile body, wherein the adjusting component in belt stressing direction is locked by means of a locking mechanism that engages automatically by means of a spring and has locking surfaces that are located essentially vertically to the sliding direction, characterized in that means are provided for the automatic release of the locking effect when the adjusting component is adjusted in the direction opposite the belt stressing direction,

• a push-button located at the device for releasing the locking effect in belt stressing direction,
• wherein said locking mechanism has a lock that automatically engages in locking points provided at the device, and wherein said means for the automatic release of the locking effect includes at least one of the lock and the locking points having on the side toward the direction opposite the belt stressing direction a sloped surface that forces the lock out of the respective locking point when the adjusting component is adjusted in the adjusting direction opposite the belt stressing direction,
• wherein said guide has two toothed strips that are arranged at a parallel distance, the toothed gaps of said strips providing said locking points within which said lock engages, said lock being elastically supported at said adjusting component and located transversely to the two strips, and wherein the toothing of the two strips has a saw-toothed profile, and
• wherein said guide is a rail that is essentially U-shaped in its cross-section, with approximately C-shaped inwardly directed end areas of the legs, said two toothed strips being formed by the free end sections of the respective C-profiles.
