Vehicular passenger restraint device
A vehicular passenger restraint device including a seatbelt capable of restraining a passenger seated in a rear seat 10 includes a belt guide 50 disposed on the outer side, in the vehicle width direction, of an upper portion of a seat back 12, and the belt guide 50 is configured such that an inner longitudinal surface portion 52 is tiltable toward the inner side in the vehicle width direction by a load applied from the seatbelt at the time of collision. A lock release switch 14 for the seat back 12 is disposed on the inner side in the vehicle width direction relative to the belt guide 50. A regulation member 55 regulating the inner longitudinal surface portion 52 between the belt guide 50 and the lock release switch 14, not to be incline toward the inner side in the vehicle width direction by a predetermined angle or more.
1. A vehicular passenger restraint device including a seatbelt capable of restraining a passenger seated in a rear seat that includes a seat cushion and a seat back, the vehicular passenger restraint device comprising:
a belt guide disposed on an outer side, in a vehicle width direction, of an upper portion of the seat back, the belt guide holding the seatbelt inserted thereinto in a longitudinal direction of a vehicle body,
the belt guide including a guide portion supporting the seatbelt from a lower side of the vehicle body and guiding the seatbelt, and an inner longitudinal surface portion provided on an inner side, in the vehicle width direction, of the guide portion and extending upward of the vehicle body, the inner longitudinal surface portion being configured to be tiltable toward the inner side in the vehicle width direction by a load directed toward the inner side in the vehicle width direction, applied from the seatbelt at the time of collision, wherein
a lock release switch for releasing a lock keeping the seat back in an upright state is disposed on the inner side, in the vehicle width direction, of the upper portion of the seat back relative to the belt guide; and
a regulation member regulating the inner longitudinal surface portion between the belt guide and the lock release switch not to be inclined toward the inner side in the vehicle width direction by a predetermined angle or more.
2. The vehicular passenger restraint device of claim 1 , wherein the inner longitudinal surface portion includes an inclined surface portion increasing in height toward the inner side in the vehicle width direction from the guide portion, and
the regulation member has an inclined surface portion that faces the inner longitudinal surface portion and increasing in height toward the inner side in the vehicle width direction.
3. The vehicular passenger restraint device of claim 2 , wherein the regulation member is provided at a position overlapping with the belt guide in the vehicle width direction.
4. The vehicular passenger restraint device of claim 3 , wherein the belt guide further includes an outer longitudinal surface portion provided on the outer side, in the vehicle width direction, of the guide portion and extending upward of the vehicle body, and the inner longitudinal surface portion is configured as a fragile portion more fragile against a load directed in the vehicle width direction, applied from the seatbelt than the outer longitudinal surface portion.
5. The vehicular passenger restraint device of claim 2 , wherein the belt guide further includes an outer longitudinal surface portion provided on the outer side, in the vehicle width direction, of the guide portion and extending upward of the vehicle body, and the inner longitudinal surface portion is configured as a fragile portion more fragile against a load directed in the vehicle width direction, applied from the seatbelt than the outer longitudinal surface portion.
6. The vehicular passenger restraint device of claim 1 , wherein the belt guide further includes an outer longitudinal surface portion provided on the outer side, in the vehicle width direction, of the guide portion and extending upward of the vehicle body, and the inner longitudinal surface portion is configured as a fragile portion more fragile against a load directed in the vehicle width direction, applied from the seatbelt than the outer longitudinal surface portion.
