1. An adjusting mechanism for a webbing-supporting member in a passive seat belt system, comprising:

  • an elongated member to be mounted on a vehicle body, said elongated member being bent with a predetermined radius of curvature in a direction transverse to the length of the vehicle body;

    an anchor base transversely surrounding the elongated member, movable along the length of the elongated member and adapted to support a member to which a webbing is fastened, said anchor base having a pair of planar walls extending straight in the direction of the length of the elongated member and in parallel to each other, whereby a spacing between the bent elongated member and at least one of the planar walls of the anchor base in the direction of the thickness of the elongated member varies along the length of the bent elongated member, reaching a maximum substantially at a longitudinal intermediate portion of the anchor base on a concave side of the elongated member and a maximum substantially at least one of longitudinal ends of the anchor base on a convex side of the elongated member; and

    a spacer provided between the elongated member and anchor base to substantially fill up the spacing between the elongated member and said at least one planar wall of the anchor base.
