Patent number: 4553716Abstract: Mechanism in roll-up devices for safety belts in motor vehicles, where the safety belt which, addressed by one or more danger sensors, can be blocked via a belt shaft, is stressed in tension by a spring force in the winding-up direction of the belt shaft, and where, within a short range of rotation of the belt shaft in the pull direction of the safety belt, a locking device for the belt shaft, acting against the elastic winding-up spring force, is made effective by control gates of plate cams. The locking wheel of the locking device, connected to the belt shaft secured against rotation is arranged within a first ring-shaped plate cam which can be swung freely between two stops within a recess and is equipped with a control recess within a control gate. The first plate cam is in frictional contact via a friction element with a second plate cam which is arranged axially next to the first plate cam and the locking wheel.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 1984Date of Patent: November 19, 1985Assignee: REPA Feinstanzwerk GmbHInventor: Wolf-Dieter Honl

Patent number: 4545097Abstract: Lock for a safety belt, with a belt lock into which an insertion tab can be inserted and can be locked by a locking latch, as well as with a pushbutton which can be shifted parallel to the insertion path of the insertion tab against a spring force, and through the operation of which the locking latch can be moved against the force of a compression spring from a locking position into the opening position. A spring tab which is clamped on one side and is arranged substantially parallel to the shifting path of the pushbutton is provided as the compression spring. The pressure of the spring decreases when the pushbutton is shifted into the opening position, as the effective spring length between the clamping point and the point of attach of the force becomes larger.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 1981Date of Patent: October 8, 1985Assignee: REPA Feinstanzwerk GmbHInventor: Franz Wier

Patent number: 4485985Abstract: Belt strap-clamping device for safety belts in motor vehicles which has a roll-up device with a belt strap which is rolled-up on a belt drum, and which can be rolled out against a spring-force. The belt from the roll-up device is partially wrapped around a deflection member with an arched deflection surface, hinged around an axis, and arranged after the belt drum. The belt strap works in conjunction with a clamping surface which is fixed in the fitting, such that the deflection member is moved when an increased force is applied, and the belt strap is clamped between the clamping surface and the deflection member. At a normal pulling out of the belt the deflection member is held at a distance from the clamping surface by the force of a spring. The deflection surface is formed by a sleeve-like deflection member, which is during normal operation freely rotatable on an eccentrically supported roller, which can be displaced on a predetermined angular path in relation to a clamping surface.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 1984Date of Patent: December 4, 1984Assignee: REPA Feinstanzwerk GmbHInventor: Artur Fohl
