Patent number: 11547183Abstract: A belt deflector having a main element which is fastenable to a vehicle structure, and a belt contact element which is movable in relation to the main element and forms a belt contact face or belt contact edge for a seat belt that is to be deflected. The belt deflector has a deformable intermediate element which, during movement of the belt contact element relative to the main element in the direction of the intermediate element, is deformed and is pressed against the seat belt. The belt contact element forms a mating clamping face, and a belt strap portion of the seat belt is arranged between the intermediate element and the mating clamping face. During the relative movement, the intermediate element presses the belt strap portion onto the mating clamping face.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2019Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: JOYSON SAFETY SYSTEMS GERMANY GMBHInventors: Marc Brandt, Uwe Klaiber, Gerhard Frey, Peter Linde, Joachim Nüsseler, Walter Birk

Publication number: 20210212414Abstract: The invention relates to a belt deflector (10) having a main element (20) which is fastenable to a vehicle structure, and a belt contact element (30) which is movable in relation to the main element (20) and forms a belt contact face (SA30) or belt contact edge for a seat belt (40) that is to be deflected, wherein the belt deflector (10) has a deformable intermediate element (50) which, during a relative movement of the movable belt contact element (30) relative to the main element (20) in the direction of the intermediate element (50), is deformed and is pressed against the seat belt (40) by this deformation. According to the invention, provision is made that the belt contact element (30) forms a mating clamping face (G30), and a belt strap portion (41) of the seat belt (40) is arranged between the intermediate element (50) and the mating clamping face (G30), and, during said relative movement, the intermediate element (50) presses the belt strap portion (41) onto the mating clamping face (G30).Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2019Publication date: July 15, 2021Applicant: JOYSON SAFETY SYSTEMS GERMANY GMBHInventors: Marc BRANDT, Uwe KLAIBER, Gerhard FREY, Peter LINDE, Joachim NUSSELER, Walter BIRK

Patent number: 8267426Abstract: An airbag for a motor vehicle is provided. The airbag includes two covering sections of an airbag covering facing each other, a discharge opening formed in one of the two covering sections for discharging gas, a connecting means for forming a releasable connection between the two covering sections, wherein upon inflation of the airbag the connection counters an escape of gas, and wherein upon inflation of the airbag the connecting means interacts with the airbag covering so that the connection is released and gas can escape out of the discharge opening. The two covering sections each form an airbag layer which are connected to each other for forming the airbag covering and which upon inflation of the airbag move away from each other. The airbag layers moving away from each other introduce a force into the connecting means so that the connections between the two covering sections are released.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2011Date of Patent: September 18, 2012Assignee: Takata AGInventors: Uwe Klaiber, Michael Knoblauch
