Abstract
The invention relates to a seat belt for vehicle seats with a webbing secured endwise at anchoring points in the vehicle, said webbing assuming a storage position when the seat is unoccupied, and with a tongue displaceable on the webbing within a webbing segment, said tongue being secured in a belted-in position by inserting it in a belt buckle integral with the vehicle when the seat is occupied. To ensure a favorable gripping position for the tongue in the storage position of the seat belt and to avoid rattling noises caused by the tongue against parts of the body, a pocket for inserting the tongue is disposed on the webbing in an area that is readily accessible to a seat occupant when the webbing is in the stored position.
