Abstract
A holder for a pass-through fitting for holding and conducting straps, particularly a safety belt in a motor vehicle, has fastening devices for attaching it to a support, e.g. a door column, and has a deflection piece, around which the belt passes. In order to make more rapid installation and good adjustablility in height possible, for adaptation to the anatomical dimensions of the passenger of a vehicle in each case, the invention provides that a connecting piece of the holder can be moved along the length of the toothed rack, and can be locked into it, and that the deflection piece is set on the connecting piece. It is practical for this, if the connecting piece has two flanges which surround the toothed rack, forming an approximately U-shaped cross-section.
