Abstract
A device for damping the belt tension which occurs in a seat belt (16) in the event of a momentary stress of great force. In order for momentary stresses of great force on the seat belt (16) to be able to be absorbed without injury being caused, the device has at least two reels (6, 14), rollers or the like which deflect the seat belt (16) from its straight-line extent and at least one (14) of which can yield elastically in the transverse direction of the extent when a preset maximum force is exceeded.
Claims14
A device for damping belt tension which occurs in a seat belt (16) in event of a momentary stress of great force, comprising deflection members comprising first reels (6) and an other reel (14) which deflect the seat belt (16) from a straight-line extent and wherein said other reel is interposed in a straight-line relationship between the first reels and which other reel (14) is yieldable elastically transversely with respect to said first reels to reposition the deflected seat belt toward the straight line extent.
A device for damping tension occurring in a seat belt (18) subjected to a brief powerful load wherein said device comprises two fixed reels (6) and a movable central reel (14) which lies in a straight-line between the two fixed reels and which reels deflect the seat belt from its straight-line extent and said central reel is yieldable elastically in a transverse direction with respect to said fixed reels when a preset maximum force is exceeded by the belt to change the deflection of the seat belt and thereby dampen tension of the seat belt.
A device for damping belt tension which occurs in a seat belt (16) in event of a momentary stress of great force, comprising deflection members (6)and a central movable deflection member (14) interposed in a straight-line relationship between two of said deflection members which deflect said seat belt from a straight-line extent and wherein said device further comprises a pretensioned elastic cushion (10) supporting the central deflection member which is yieldable elastically transversely to reposition said deflected seat belt toward the straight line extent.
