1. A lock deflection device for a motor vehicle for deflecting a seat belt, comprising:

  • a lock tongue for insertion into a lock buckle;

    a first contact area connected to the lock tongue around which the seat belt can be laid to deflect the seat belt, so that the seat belt is divided into a shoulder segment and a pelvis segment, which go off in different directions from the first contact area, wherein the first contact area can be moved from an initial position, in which the seat belt can slide along on the deflection device, into a final position; and

    a second contact area connected to the lock tongue, which is arranged to contact the seat belt after the first contact area is moved out of the initial position, in order to restrain the seat belt from sliding along on the deflection device,wherein the first contact area is connected to the lock tongue through a movable area of the lock deflection device,wherein the movable area is designed to interact with the seat belt in a way that the movable area performs a movement due to a force acting on the shoulder segment such that the first contact area is taken along from the initial position to the final position,wherein the movement comprises a deformation of the movable area accompanied by a pivoting movement, andwherein the first contact area is integrally formed with the movable area.
