Patent Images
1. A deflection device for a safety belt arrangement including a belt and belt collecting means, comprising:
- a bracket to be connected to a part of a vehicle, a bar about which a belt is adapted to pass, a stop, said bar being movable in a direction towards and away from said stop, an arm pivotally supporting said stop about an axis transverse to the longitudinal extension of a belt passed around said bar, said bar being movable along said arm in said transverse direction, said bar and stop being arranged to permit the belt to run free about said bar when the belt is subjected to a force at least equivalent to the collecting force of said collecting means under normal conditions of use, and to lock the belt between said bar and said stop when the belt is subjected to abnormal forces.

Abstract
Deflection device for a safety belt with a bar around which the safety belt passes, a pivotable arm in which the bar can slide in a direction transverse to the longitudinal extension of the belt and a stop for the bar, the arrangement being such that the belt can normally pass freely around the bar from the belt collector but that the belt becomes clamped between the bar and the stop when subjected to abnormal forces, such as a collision or extreme deceleration.
