Belt deflector

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 belt contact element (30) relative to the main element (20) in a direction of the intermediate element (50), is deformed and is pressed against the seat belt (40) by this deformation,
• wherein
• 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);
• the belt contact element (30) has a first portion (31), which forms the mating clamping face (G30), and a second portion (32), which forms a clamping face (K30) lying opposite the mating clamping face (G30);
• the intermediate element (50) and the belt strap portion (41) are arranged between the clamping face (K30) and the mating clamping face (G30), wherein, during said relative movement in an event of a tensile force acting on the seat belt (40), the intermediate element (50) and the belt strap portion (41) are clamped between the clamping face (K30) and the mating clamping face (G30) of the belt contact element (30);
• and
• wherein the first portion (31) of the belt contact element (30) is arranged at least for a most part outside a first slot (S1), and
• an opening area of the first slot (S1), directed toward the first portion (31) of the belt contact element (30), has an angle (α) to the mating clamping face (G30) of between 10 and 45 degrees.
