Abstract: ABSTRACT AN INTEGRATED SYSTEM FOR SEAT BELT WEBBING CLEANING IN AUTOMOBILES The present invention discloses a seat belt webbing cleaning system (100) configured to continuously clean a vehicle seat belt webbing (102) during normal extension and retraction. The system (100) comprises three integrated cleaning modules arranged sequentially along the seat belt webbing path, including a first cleaning module (110) integrated with a seat belt buckle latch plate (104), a second cleaning module (120) positioned at a pillar anchor (106), and a third cleaning module (130) comprising a mid-path glide system (130) located between the pillar anchor (106) and a seat belt retractor (108). Each cleaning module includes rotary cleaning brushes (112, 122, 132) and a corresponding dust-collecting chamber (114, 124, 134) configured to remove and contain dirt, dust, and debris from the seat belt webbing (102) as it moves. The mid-path glide system (131) provides a final debris interception stage to prevent contaminants from entering the retractor mechanism. The system operates automatically using the movement of the seat belt webbing and helps in continuous cleaning, improved hygiene, and long-term protection of seat belt safety components. [Figure 1]
