Vehicle seat belt anchor arrangement

A seat restraint belt anchorage arrangement for a vehicle generally planar floor pan adapted for support on a subjacent body frame, said floor pan being formed with an upwardly contoured hump defined in part by a forwardly sloped planar floor pan side portion, and wherein the hump terminates in a rearwardly extending planar floor pan portion, said anchorage arrangement comprising:

• an anchorage member adapted to be secured to the underside of the hump forwardly sloped side portion, said member fabricated from a one piece elongated sheet metal strip having, in cross sectional view, a forward closed loop and an elongated tailing blade;
• said anchorage member loop formed by at least three planar segments in the form of an upwardly and forwardly extending angled first segment terminating at a forward end in a downwardly and forwardly bent second segment, said second segment terminating in a reverse bent rearwardly extending portion, and means securing an upper surface of said reverse bent portion in under-lapped relation to an opposed undersurface of said blade;
• said loop second section having an exterior surface adapted for flush attachment with an underside of the hump forwardly sloped side portion, means securing an axially bored weld nut to an interior surface of said second segment, said nut bore aligned with an aperture in the hump side portion and said loop second segment;
• whereby upon an occupant restraining belt anchor bracket being mounted on a complementary upper surface of the hump side portion, such that with a threaded fastener extending through said aperture means for threaded reception in said weld nut bore securing said second segment to the hump side portion and means for securing a distal end upper surface of said blade in a flush manner to an opposed underside of the floor pan said anchorage member providing, with the floor pan, a structural component adapted for transferring seat belt anchor bracket loads a predetermined longitudinal dimension rearwardly to the vehicle subjacent main frame.
