Abstract: The invention describes a seat belt (10) for a motor vehicle comprising a webbing (12) that includes plural layers (26, 28, 30) at least one layer (26) of which comprises an electric heating element (26). The invention further describes a method for manufacturing such seat belt (10).

Abstract: The invention describes a belt retractor (10) for a vehicle including a locking disk (22) on which a locking element (24) is supported. In an extended position, the locking element (24) engages in locking teeth (28) on a frame (12) of the belt retractor (10). In a retracted position, the locking element (24) releases the locking teeth (28). There is further provided a clutch disk (38) which is motion-coupled with the locking element (24) via a control geometry (40) and a control element (36). The control geometry (40) comprises a first retraction area as well as a second retraction area for receiving the control element (36) in an at least partially retracted position of the locking element (36) and a first extension area as well as a second extension area for receiving the control element (36) in the extended position of the locking element (24). The invention further presents a method for releasing a mis-synchronized locking position of a belt retractor (10).

Abstract: A webbing for a seat belt system (10) of an automotive vehicle has a woven webbing body (26) which includes warp threads extending in the longitudinal direction and weft threads extending transversely to the warp threads, and comprising at least one heating filament (28) which is woven into the webbing body (26) as a warp thread and/or a weft thread. The invention further describes a seat belt system (10).

Abstract: The invention provides a seat belt (10) for a motor vehicle comprising a webbing (12) that includes at least one chamber (24) in which at least one electric, especially band-shaped, heating element (26) is accommodated. The invention further provides a method for manufacturing such seat belt (10).

Abstract: The invention provides a seat belt (10) for a motor vehicle comprising a webbing (12) that includes a tubular portion (22) in which at least one electric heating element (24) is accommodated. The invention further provides a method for manufacturing such seat belt (10).

Abstract: Elongate woven pulling means (10) for an airbag module comprises plural longitudinal portions (12, 14, 16, 18, 20) that have different warp densities. An airbag module for a vehicle safety system comprises an airbag, pulling means (10) coupled to the airbag and an activation unit coupled to the pulling means for releasing the pulling means upon actuation of the activation unit. The pulling means (10) is an elongate woven pulling means having different warp densities which is fastened to the airbag by a first end portion (12) of low warp density, preferably by stitching, and is coupled to the activation unit by a longitudinal portion (16) of high warp density. A method of manufacturing such pulling means (10) comprises the steps of: weaving a longitudinal portion (12; 20) on a loom of low warp density; and weaving a further longitudinal portion (16; 14, 18) on the loom having high or increasing warp density in the same working step. For weaving an adjustable reed having different widths is employed.
