Anti-cinch and anti-chafe seat belt system

A seat belt assembly, comprising:

• a first mounting bracket;
• a first belt connector;
• a first connecting member connectable with said first belt connector;
• first connecting means for connecting said first connecting member with said first belt connector;
• said first connecting member being coupled with said first mounting bracket and being movable relative said first mounting bracket between first and second positions, said first connecting member being retracted relative said first mounting bracket in the first position and said first connecting member being extended relative said first mounting bracket in the second position;
• first biasing means for biasing said first connecting member in the first position;
• a second mounting bracket;
• a second belt connector lockable with said first belt connector to form a tongue-buckle combination;
• a second connecting member connectable with said second belt connector;
• second connecting means for connecting said second connecting member with said second belt connector;
• said second connecting member being coupled with said second mounting bracket and being movable relative said second mounting bracket between third and fourth positions, said second connecting member being retracted relative said second mounting bracket in the third position and said second connecting member being extended relative said second mounting bracket in the fourth position;
• and
• second biasing means for biasing said second connecting member in the third position;
• and wherein;
• said first biasing means includes first spring means connected between said first mounting bracket and said first connecting member for exerting a first predetermined force urging said first connecting member into the first position;
• said second biasing means includes second spring means connected between said second mounting bracket and said second connecting member and exerting a second predetermined force urging said second connecting member into the third position;
• said first connecting member is slidable relative to said first mounting bracket;
• said first mounting bracket includes a first substantially planar center portion having a pair of upstanding first connecting member guides at opposing edges thereof, said first mounting bracket includes a first pair of spring seats between said first connecting member guides;
• said first connecting member includes a second substantially planar portion having a pair of spring guides at opposing edges thereof, said pair of spring guides being guided between said pair of upstanding first connecting member guides as said first connecting member slides relative to said first mounting bracket, said first connecting member includes a second pair of spring seats between said pair of spring guides;
• said first spring means includes a pair of compression springs trapped between said first pair of spring seats of said mounting bracket and said second pair of spring seats of said first connecting member;
• the first substantially planar portion of aid first mounting bracket includes a first locating hole therethrough;
• the second substantially planar portion of said first connecting member includes a first elongated slot therethrough, said first elongated slot corresponding to said first locating hole;
• and
• said first connecting member is coupled with said first mounting bracket by a first fastener extending through said first hole and said first slot and slidably clamping said first connecting member with said first mounting bracket.
