  • Patent number: 7007976
    Abstract: Seatbelt lock casing with an integrated force-sensing device for measuring a belt tensile force acting on a seatbelt lock, containing a moving anchor that protrudes through an opening formed in a front wall of the casing and has a stop that restricts the movement of the anchor from the casing against an elastic support operating between the casing and anchor, and a sensor attached to the casing for registering the position of the moving anchor.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: March 7, 2006
    Assignee: Siemens Aktiengesellschaft
    Inventors: Johannes Ante, Dorin Diaconu, Leif Reinhold
  • Patent number: 7000488
    Abstract: Force-sensing unit for measuring a belt tensile force acting on a seatbelt lock, including a casing with an opening formed in a front side, and further including a moving anchor which is located in the casing and which protrudes through the opening and which has a stop that restricts the movement of the lug from the casing against an elastic support, and a sensor for registering the position of the moving anchor, whereby the casing can be attached between the seatbelt lock and an anchorage, characterized in that the elastic support is provided by a torsion spring supported on the anchor and on the casing on both sides of the anchor.

  • Patent number: 6829945
    Abstract: A sensor device for registering strain of a component, which comprises a sensor chip and a supporting substrate, which are connected to each other by a connecting layer such that they form a prefabricated sensor module. The sensor module is attached to the component by a durable creep-free connection such that the strain of the component is transferred to the sensor chip.
