Abstract
A device for passive actuation of a safety belt includes a motor-driven force transmission member. An engaging member for the safety belt can be connected to the force transmission member by a manually releasable pin member. The force transmission member moves the engaging member and with it the safety belt into a locked position. The locked position can be released automatically or manually. The engaging member can be moved manually along the force transmission member when the driving connection is released.
Claims16
Device for the passive actuation of a safety belt, comprising a motor driven elongated force transmission member, an engaging member for a safety belt engageable with and movable by said force transmission member, wherein the improvement comprises means for forming a driving connection between said engaging member and said force transmission member, said connection means being releasable, and said engaging member being shaped to be slid manually along said force transmission member when said connecting means is released, connecting means comprising a member releasably coupled within said force transmission member, said member comprises a pin, a borehole formed in said force transmission member and extending transversely of the longitudinal direction thereof and said pin passing through said engaging member, and a rocking lever pivotally attached to said engaging member and engageable with said pin for disengaging said pin from said borehole in said force transmission member.
Device for the passive actuation of a safety belt comprising an elongated force transmission member (2) unyielding in tension and compression, an elongated guide section (6) and said force transmission member is longitudinally slidable in said guide section, an engaging member (4) arranged to receive one end of a safety belt, said engaging member (4) is shaped to be longitudinally slidable along said guide section, manually actuatable connecting means (36) supported on said engaging member for detachably connecting said engaging member with said force transmission member, said connecting means including a manually releasable locking bolt (46) releasably engageable with said engaging member whereby said locking bolt must be released from said engaging member so that said engaging member can be released from said force transmission member by actuating said connecting means.
Device for the passive actuation of a safety belt comprising an elongated force transmission member (2) unyielding in tension and compression, an elongated guide section (6) and said force transmission member is longitudinally slidable in said guide section, an engaging member (4) arranged to receive one end of a safety belt, said engaging member is shaped to be longitudinally slidable along said guide section, a locking mechanism (12) mounted on said guide section, said engaging member including a holding means (56, 58) releasably engageable with said locking mechanism, said engaging member having an oblong hole (32) therein extending in the elongated direction of said force transmission member, a pin (26) mounted in the oblong hole in said engaging member and releasably engageable with said force transmission member, a release element (60) fixed to said force transmission member, said release element located within said locking mechanism when said engaging member is locked to said locking mechanism and movement of said force transmission member from the locked position of said engaging member and locking mechanism and away from said locking mechanism releases said locking mechanism.
