Title: Safety belt anchorage assembly

Abstract: An anchorage assembly for a safety belt which exhibits sufficient flexibility in a lateral direction to permit a passenger to slide thereover and sufficient rigidity in at least one perpendicular direction to permit one-handed coupling of the safety belt and anchorage assembly. The preferred embodiment comprises a composite plastic and cable member of substantially rectangular cross section. A pair of substantially parallel cable lengths extend longitudinally between end reinforcing members, and one or more intermediate reinforcing members extend transversely between the cable lengths to restrain them to a predetermined maximum spacing. Such a structure is highly flexible in the lateral direction perpendicular to the plane of the cables and substantially rigid in the directions within the plane.
