Passive seat belt arrangement

A passive seat belt arrangement for a motor vehicle having a horizontally extending first structure and a vertically extending second structure which are integrally connected with each other in a manner to form a downwardly directed smoothly curved inner edge at a joined portion therebetween, comprising:

• a webbing;
• a guide rail attached to said first and second structures to extend along the same thereby to form a downwardly directed curved portion thereof at said jointed portion of the first and second structures;
• a carrier carrying one end of said webbing slidably guided by said guide rail, said carrier having a linearly extending inside edge which faces toward said smoothly curved inner edge of the jointed portion when said carrier is at a portion of the guide rail by said first structure,
• wherein when said carrier is at said first structure said linearly extending inside edge extends at generally right angles from the horizontally extending first structure, and when said carrier is at said curved portion of the guide rail, the angle defined between said linearly extending inside edge and a tangential line touching said smoothly curved inner edge is not less than 90 degrees, so that during movement of said carrier on said curved portion of the guide rail from said first structure to said second structure, the inside edges of the carrier and the jointed portion do not form a dangerous enclosed space.
