1. A seat for use with a safety belt, particularly in motor vehicles, comprising a frame including a base and a back rest, said back rest including two spaced-apart lateral frame members having first portions adjacent and second portions remote from the base, and said back rest further including a connector between said lateral frame members;

  • and means for coupling the belt to said frame, including a first coupling element provided on one of said frame members and spaced apart from said base and a second coupling element in the region of said base and remote from the first portion of said one frame member so that, when the belt is in use and extends between said coupling elements, it applies to said one frame member a deforming force acting in the direction in which the belt extends between said coupling elements without the application of such deforming force to the other of said frame members, said one frame member having a non-circular cross-sectional outline with an axis of maximum resistance to said deforming force, said one frame member being disposed in a plane which is inclined with reference to a plane halving said seat and extending between said frame members, the belt between said coupling elements being disposed in or close to the plane of said one frame member.
