  • Publication number: 20140230195
    Abstract: A plug-in tongue for a belt buckle of a seatbelt system. The tongue includes a plug-in section suitable for plugging into the belt buckle and with a belt-retaining section which has a slot for the passage and deflection of a seat belt. The plug-in tongue includes a metal plate which has a slot-shaped opening, and wherein at least one edge section of the metal plate, which edge section bounds the slot-shaped opening, is embedded into a plastics material. The edge section of the metal plate, which edge section bounds the slot-shaped opening, is bent out of the opening plane of the slot-shaped opening and has a hook-shaped cross section.

  • Patent number: 6871877
    Abstract: A safety belt apparatus for a vehicle, having a belt reel, a belt buckle, a belt redirection apparatus mounted on the B-post of the vehicle. The apparatus also includes, a belt-force limiter with a torsion bar and a belt tensioner. In the event of an accident, the belt tensioner is triggered, and pretorsioning of the torsion bar is simultaneously effected. The pretorsion is preferably brought about by the forces that arise during belt tensioning. The pretorsion allows for the force limitation to start at an optimum force level with regard to the retention force and the protection of the occupant.

  • Patent number: 6736427
    Abstract: A safety belt apparatus for motor vehicles comprising a safety belt and a deflecting device for the safety belt which is connected to a holder which can be fastened to the vehicle via an absorption unit. The deflecting device being movable in an absorption direction by forces occurring relative to the holder with a pulling movement of the safety belt caused by an accident while overcoming an opposing absorption resistance of the absorption unit. The deflecting device being hindered from making a movement in the absorption direction with forces occurring in normal operation. The absorption unit being changeable in shape by the deflecting device moving in the absorption direction in order to overcome the absorption resistance.
