A belt lock (8) for receiving an attachment element (2) of a safety belt (1) has an insertion opening (10) for the attachment element (2). In the belt lock (8), a connection element (20) is provided, which penetrates a locking opening (3) on the attachment element (2). The connection element (20) is disposed on a flat spring-type carrier (17), via which an insertion movement (24) of the connection element (20) into the locking opening (3) of the attachment element (2) takes place, when the attachment element operates a locking lever (12) by its insertion movement. The insertion movement (24) of the connection element (20) is monitored via a magnetic circuit containing a magnetic field-sensing sensor (31). A component (11, 20) of the belt lock (8) that fixes the attachment element (2) of the safety belt (1) is associated with a measuring element (20), with which a force operating on the belt lock can be determined via the magnetic circuit (16, 31).
A belt lock for receiving an attachment element (2) of a safety belt (1) with an insertion opening (10) for the attachment element (2) and a connection element (20), said connection element (20) engaged in a locking opening provided in said attachment element (20) when in a locked state, wherein said connection element (20) is provided on a flat spring-type carrier (17), wherein an insertion movement (24) of the connection element (20) into the locking opening (3) takes place by means of said flat spring-type carrier (17), wherein, by means of the insertion movement of the attachment element (2), a locking lever (12) is operated, whereby the insertion movement (24) of the connection element (20) into the locking opening (30) is monitored by means of a magnetic circuit (16) having a magnetic field-sensing sensor, wherein a measuring element (25) is disposed on a component (11, 20) of the belt lock (8) that secures said attachment element, and wherein said measuring element (25) detects a force acting on the belt lock (18) by means of said magnetic circuit (16, 31).
