Abstract: A belt buckle feeder comprises a stationary base (12) adapted to be fixedly mounted to the vehicle and a carriage (14) movable to a retracted position and to an extended position vis-à-vis the base (12), which carriage is connected to a belt buckle (20) via an intermediate plate (22) provided between the belt buckle (20) and the carriage (14). The intermediate plate (22) is tightly connected to the belt buckle (20) and there is provided a positive guidance by which the intermediate plate (22) is pivoted during traversing to the extended position by a predetermined degree vis-à-vis the carriage (14) so that in addition to the traversing movement of the carriage (14) along a tilting direction (N) the belt buckle (20) reversibly tilts from a home position to an inclined position.

Abstract: A belt buckle feeder comprises a base (12) adapted to be fixedly attached to the vehicle and a carriage (14) being movably supported on the base (12) to which carriage a belt buckle (20) can be coupled and which can be moved by a drive arranged on the base (12). The drive includes an electric motor (26) and a worm gear comprising a worm shaft (34) which has a worm (36) as well as drive spur wheel teeth (40), with the shaft (28) of the electric motor (26) including a pinion (30) which is engaged in the drive spur wheel teeth (40) and drives the worm shaft (34).

Abstract: A belt buckle feeder (10) comprises a belt buckle (18), a stationary base member (12) to be mounted fixedly on the vehicle and a motor-driven slide (16) movably supported on the base member (12) to which the belt buckle (18) is coupled, wherein the slide (16) encloses the base member (12) at least in portions.

Abstract: A belt buckle including locking status detection, having a switching contact and a mating contact, wherein the switching contact and the mating contact are electrically conducting parts of a switch. The switching contact contacts the mating contact in an intermediate position of the switch in a first contact area at the mating contact and in an end position of the switch in a second contact area at the mating contact distant from the first contact area by a displacing distance.

Abstract: A sensor for activating a vehicle occupant restraint system, in particular the locking mechanism of a safety belt retractor, has an inertia body, a bearing on which the inertia body rests, and a sensor lever arranged in an upper region of the inertia body. The sensor lever can be swiveled from a position of rest by a movement of the inertia body and thereby activates the vehicle occupant restraint system. The inertia body in a position of rest is spaced apart from the sensor lever by a gap or, in the position of rest, it contacts an abutment surface of the sensor lever in exactly one point and is spaced apart from a jacket surface of the sensor lever which adjoins the abutment surface.
