  • Patent number: 9663064
    Abstract: A seat belt lock with a Hall sensor for detection of a locking state of a seat belt lock having a metal seat belt lock frame arranged in a housing. The seat belt lock frame has an upper part and a lower part, connected to a define slit-like channel. A spring-loaded locking device for an inserted seat belt latch is mounted on the seat belt lock frame. A spring-loaded ejector for the inserted seat belt latch is arranged in the channel. The Hall sensor interacts with a permanent-magnetic component, whose distance relative to the Hall sensor is changeable based on translatory movement of the ejector in the case of actuation of the locking mechanism. The Hall sensor is arranged on or in the seat belt lock frame and is covered by a metal shielding element, which extends essentially parallel to the seat belt lock frame and forms a flow concentrator.

  • Patent number: 9168892
    Abstract: A detector device for detecting the locking state of a seat belt lock, such as for an automobile restraint system, is disclosed, which has a swivel lever that is designed like a strap and that is hinged to a switch housing via a swivel axis (A) that is arranged eccentrically and that has at least one operating arm projecting from the swivel axis (A), which arm extends above the switch housing and can move into a second end position by interaction with a component of a locking mechanism of the seat belt lock that can move in translation against a return force from a first end position, in which its at least one operating arm extends above the switch housing. The detector device has a sensor device for detecting the change in position of a section of the swivel lever that can swivel from the starting position into its laterally and vertically changed end position.
