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.

Abstract: Vehicle safety belt with two shoulder belt parts anchored behind the upper back rest area on the one hand and in the area at the bottom of the seat on the other and with a lap belt part releasable by means of a belt buckle and tongue, said belt lap part being anchored in the area at the bottom of the seat on each side of the occupant, characterized in that the lap belt (3,4) and the shoulder belts (1,2) are fastened to each other above their lower anchoring points (7 to 10; 41, 42) by guide members (6,6'; 40) disposed in the area of the line of contact (39) between seat cushion (36) and back rest (30). Both shoulder belt parts (1,2) have a single upper anchoring point (11) and all belt parts (1 to 4) are formed by one continuous finite belt.

Abstract: Inflatable air bag having one or several air intake openings for drawing air from the passenger compartment into the air bag, and closure means for automatically sealing the air intake openings after inflation of the air bag. The closure means may consist of bands, tubes, flaps and the like.

Abstract: A safety belt buckle which permits release of a tongue by the application of minimal pressure on a tongue release member, even under conditions of great stress, yet having strength and reliability. When the tongue is inserted in the buckle it forces a tongue ejecting member back against a biasing force, and an outwardly biased tongue release member moves forward in response to its bias, forcing a detent, such as a roller, into an opening in the tongue. The detent continues to extend into a similar coincident opening in a plate contiguous with the tongue, thus locking the tongue in the buckle. Applying slight pressure to the tongue release member, to slide it back against its bias, provides sufficient space above the opening so that the detent is free to leave the opening in the tongue. The tongue is then ejected from the buckle by the ejector which comes to rest below the opening in the plate, thus retaining the detent out of the path of an inserted tongue.

Abstract: Apparatus for the adjustment to various lengths of a belt, preferably of a safety belt on motor vehicles or the like, with a frame having a longitudinal aperture and, displaceable in the frame and transversely with respect to the longitudinal aperture, a thrust piece which has a transverse web with a locking edge set at a small angle to its main plane and lateral guide panels extending transversely to the locking edge.

Abstract: Lock for a safety belt with a push-button and a slide in tongue arrangement, wherein the push-button cooperates with a guide part and they are formed of two separate elements, each provided with an inclined face.
