A seat belt anchor device and method are provided for anchoring a seat belt to a stud. The device includes a plate member having a keyhole opening into which the stud is fit with the plate member pulled upwardly to bring the stud to the installed position relative to the plate member. A spring retainer member keeps the stud and plate member in their installed position. A stop is provided to limit pivoting of the spring retainer member relative to the plate member. In some forms, the spring retainer includes resilient clamping portions for clamping engagement with the stud head therebetween in the installed portion.

The present invention provides a seat belt retractor, seat belt apparatus, and seat belt winding method, which has improved reliability of the seat belt winding-up performance and still can reduce the frequency of unnecessary actuations of a motor; the seat belt retractor of the present invention comprises a control unit (123) which stops actuation of the motor when an overload of the motor is detected during the winding-up of a seat belt and restarts the actuation of the motor after a lapse of a predetermined time period. The control unit (123) comprises a getting-on/off action detecting section (401) which detects an action of an occupant for getting on or off a vehicle and a retry determining section (405) which determines, using criteria, whether or not it is required to restart the actuation of the motor which is stopped by detection of the overload; the criteria for the case that the occupant gets on the vehicle and for the case that the occupant gets off the vehicle are different from each other. The criteria are provided such that the retry determining section (405) likely determines that it is not required to restart the actuation of the motor in the case that the occupant gets on the vehicle as compared to the case that the occupant gets off the vehicle.

The invention discloses a seat belt height adjuster. The seat belt height adjuster comprises a mounting frame, a sliding block assembly, a backstop piece and a buffering piece, wherein the sliding block assembly is arranged on the mounting frame and can slip in the length direction of the mounting frame; the backstop piece is arranged on the mounting frame for limiting moving displacement of the sliding block assembly; at least a part of the buffering piece is located between the sliding block assembly and the backstop piece to prevent the situation that the sliding block assembly directly impacts the backstop piece in the slipping process. According to the seat belt height adjuster disclosed by the invention, the buffering piece is arranged, so that the effect of buffering can be effectively achieved, and the situation that a big sound is generated by the impacting between the sliding block assembly and the backstop piece is avoided; and therefore, an impacting noise can be effectively reduced, impacting sound amplitude is reduced, and the comfortableness of a passenger for adjusting the height of a seat belt is improved.

To provide an occupant protecting device for a vehicle capable of achieving smooth deployment without being obstructed by a seat belt. The occupant protecting device for the vehicle includes a curtain airbag 53 structured so that a slit 83 to admit insertion of the seat belt 42 is formed in the seat belt deployment region 106 at the tail 79C, and by the slit, the central part 107 and the tail 79C of the rear part bag portion 74R are divided into the first 111 and the second bag segment 112 and the first 113 and the second tail segment 114. When the curtain airbag is deployed, the seat belt set previously intrudes into the slit. Accordingly a smooth deployment can be made without being obstructed by the seat belt. When the curtain airbag is to be folded up in cylindrical form, the open end of the slit will not be opened by the ruptural part. Handling at folding up will be facilitated.
