Abstract

The invention relates to a device for fixing a belt lock to a vehicle seat comprising a seat underframe which has at least one pivotally mounted crosstube extending crosswise relative to the rail longitudinal guides of a longitudinal adjustment device of the vehicle seat. According to the invention, one locating element is arranged at least in one end area of the crosstube for tying up the belt lock and a device for decoupling or compensating for the movement of the crosstube.

Claims

1. A device for fixing a belt lock of a safety belt on a vehicle seat of a vehicle with a seat underframe, the underframe having at least one pivotally mounted cross tube running horizontally in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the vehicle, the cross tube forming part of a seat adjusting device,

wherein

an adapter is provided with an adapter flange, the adapter flange connected to the belt lock and holding an end region of the cross tube in rotational movement, the adapter also with a connecting flange fixedly connected to a base element of the vehicle seat.

2. The device according to claim 1, wherein the adapter is held onto the cross tube and the cross tube engages with rotational movement through an opening in the adapter flange.

3. The device according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the base element comprises a bearing block holding the cross tube and is connected to a part of a longitudinal rail guide of the vehicle seat.

4. The device according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the base element consists of a seat side part of the vehicle seat.

6. The device according to claim 1, further comprising a belt lock guide for holding the belt lock and connected to a seat side part of the vehicle seat.

7. The device for fixing a belt lock of a safety belt on a vehicle seat of a vehicle with a seat underframe, the underframe having at least one pivotally mounted cross tube running horizontally in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the vehicle, the cross tube forming part of a seat adjusting device

wherein

an adapter with an adapter flange is connected rotationally secured to an end region of the cross tube and further comprising a belt lock guide which receives the belt lock.

5. The device according to claim 8 wherein the cross tube engages rotatably through an opening in the adapter flange.

8. The device according to claim 7, wherein the adapter comprises a bolt which is insertable in a side end of the cross tube.

9. The device according to claim 8, wherein the bolt is a stepped bolt.

10. The device according to claim 7, wherein the belt lock guide is connected to a cover panel of a seat side part of the vehicle seat.

11. The device according to claim 7, wherein the adapter is connected to both end regions of the cross tube.
