Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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).
