Abstract
An adjuster device for a deflector fitting of a vehicular seat belt system comprises a first cable (28) connected to a longitudinally adjustable vehicle seat and guided to the circumference of a first pulley (26) and a second cable (18) connected to the deflector fitting and guided to the circumference of a second pulley (24). The pulleys (24, 26) are tensioned one against the other by a spiral spring (36) and coupled to rotate with respect to each other so that overloading of all and any of the components of the adjuster device is avoided.
