SAFETY BELT INSTALLATION
First Claim
1. A safety belt installation for vehicles, especially for motor vehicles, with adjustable seats, in which at least one belt section is connected with a fixed part of the vehicle by fitting means having several fitting elements, of which some are able to follow the adjusting movements of the seat, and which is locked in all adjusting positions of the seat by tensionally stressing the belt, characterized in that at least a fitting element includes a toothed rack, in that at least another fitting element is pivotally connected at the seat, and in that one of said fitting elements engages during the tensioning of the safety belt into the toothed rack against the force of a disengaging spring means.

-
2. A safety belt according to claim 1, characterized in that sections carrying two toothed racks of fitting elements project into another fitting element, of which one toothed rack section of a first one of said fitting elements is only longitudinally displaceably guided in a longitudinal groove of said another fitting element whereas the other toothed section of a second of said fitting elements is additionally able to carry out transverse displacements directed toward the one toothed rack section.
-
3. A safety belt installation according to claim 2, characterized in that the transverse displacements are positively obtained by the guidance of pins in inclined slots during the tensioning of the belt.
-
4. A safety belt installation according to claim 3, characterized in that said first fitting element is pivotally connected to the fixed part and said second fitting element is pivotally connected to the belt.
-
5. A safety belt installation according to claim 4, characterized in that said another fitting element is pivotally mounted at the seat.
-
6. A safety belt installation according to claim 5, characterized in that said another fitting element is a sleeve which is pivotally connected at a hinge of the seat so as to be pivotal in a vertical longitudinal plane.
-
7. A safety belt installation according to claim 2, characterized in that said first fitting element is pivotally connected to the fixed part and said second fitting element is pivotally connected to the belt.
-
8. A safety belt installation according to claim 2, characterized in that said another fitting element is pivotally mounted at the seat.
-
9. A safety belt installation according to claim 2, characterized in that said another fitting element is a sleeve which is pivotally connected at a hinge of the seat so as to be pivotal in a vertical longitudinal plane.
-
10. A safety belt installation according to claim 1, characterized in that a first one of said fitting elements is provided with a hook-shaped tooth means and is pivotally connected with the seat, said tooth means engaging in a toothed rack section of a second of said fitting element as a result of the pivotal movements of the first fitting element produced by a tensioning of the belt against the force of a spring means, the second fitting element being pivotally connected at the fixed part of the vehicle and the toothed rack section thereof being longitudinally displaceably guided in a third fitting element pivotally connected with the first fitting element.
-
11. A safety belt installation according to claim 10, wherein the third fitting element is pivotally connected with first fitting element at the point of pivotal connection of the latter with the seat.
-
12. A safety belt installation according to claim 11, wherein said third fitting element is a guide sleeve.
