Claims10
A force transfer element for an apparatus for belt tightening, wherein the force transfer element:
- is a rod-shaped body formed from a plastic, which is structured over its total length, wherein the rod-shaped body includes axial ribs extending in an axial direction of the rod-shaped body and transverse ribs extending transversely to the axial direction and interconnecting the axial ribs;
- and
- is formed from at least a first part and a second part, wherein the first part and the second part each include a connecting surface that extends transversely to the axial direction or is inclined at a predetermined angle to the axial direction, and wherein the connecting surfaces of the first part and the second part have matingly engaged connecting portions, the connecting portions including at least one connecting element and at least one connecting recess in which the connecting element is engaged, wherein the connecting element and the connecting recess are configured such that undercuts of the connecting recess retain the connecting element in the connecting recess.
