Safety belt apparatus
First Claim
1. A safety belt apparatus for a motor vehicle comprising:
- a safety belt;
a holder configured to be attached to the vehicle;
a deflecting device for the safety belt connected to the holder via an absorption unit;
wherein the deflecting device is configured to move in an absorption direction while overcoming an opposing absorption resistance of the absorption unit, in response to a pulling movement of the safety belt caused by an accident;
wherein the deflecting device is configured to remain stationary when exposed to forces that occur during normal operation; and
wherein the absorption unit is configured to change in shape in response to movement of the deflecting device in the absorption direction.

Abstract
A safety belt apparatus for motor vehicles comprising a safety belt and a deflecting device for the safety belt which is connected to a holder which can be fastened to the vehicle via an absorption unit. The deflecting device being movable in an absorption direction by forces occurring relative to the holder with a pulling movement of the safety belt caused by an accident while overcoming an opposing absorption resistance of the absorption unit. The deflecting device being hindered from making a movement in the absorption direction with forces occurring in normal operation. The absorption unit being changeable in shape by the deflecting device moving in the absorption direction in order to overcome the absorption resistance.
