Patent ID: 7416217

Claim:
A guide loop for a safety belt for a motor vehicle, comprising: a guide element provided with a guide slit for the safety belt, the guide loop adapted to be fixed to a component of the vehicle body by a fixing screw having a screw head having a first external diameter and a screw shaft having a second external diameter smaller than the first external diameter, and an adapter having a displacement body which blocks a portion of the guide slit when the adapter is mounted to the guide element, thereby limiting the slit height of the guide slit, whereby the adapter is coupled to the inside of a fixing hole of the guide element, and includes an opening penetrated by the fixing screw inserted through the fixing hole, the fixing hole being formed by a bore, whose internal diameter is selected to be smaller than the first external diameter of the screw head and larger than the second external diameter of the screw shaft in order to maximize the overlap between a bearing surface of the guide element and the screw head of the fixing screw, wherein the fixing hole also includes a plurality of grooves distributed about the circumference of the bore through which fixing arms of the adapter, oriented in an axial direction of the bore, extend to mount the adapter to the guide element.
