Abstract

A belt webbing for a safety belt device of a motor vehicle, the belt webbing being wider in a first section than in a second section relative to its longitudinal direction.

Claims (32)

1. A seat belt webbing for a safety belt device of a motor vehicle, comprising;

the belt webbing is formed having a first section wider in its lengthwise orientation than in a second section, the belt webbing in the first section has 10 to 18 weft threads/cm, the belt webbing in the second section has 6 to 12 weft threads/cm, and

the belt webbing has a transitional section between the first section and the second section with 6 to 18 weft threads/cm between the second section and the first section with an increasing number of weft threads/cm in a direction of the first section.

2. A seat belt webbing according to claim 1 , further comprising in that the first section has a width of 75 to 100 mm.

3. A seat belt webbing according to claim 1 , further comprising in that the first section has a length of 350 to 600 mm.

4. A seat belt webbing according to claim 1 , further comprising in that the belt webbing in the first section has a 1/1 or a 2/2 binding.

5. A seat belt webbing according to claim 1 , further comprising in that the belt webbing is woven in the first section into two layers arranged above one another, and the two layers are attached to one another by a connecting thread.

6. A seat belt webbing according to claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of warp threads of the belt webbing are woven in at least three weaving beams including a first beam, a pair of second beams, and a pair of third beams.

7. A seat belt webbing according to claim 6 , further comprising in that the belt webbing with the first weaving beam at a longitudinal center area of the webbing with a first number of warp threads, and the belt webbing is woven in partial sections of the pair of second beams and the pair of third weaving beams bordering on the first weaving beam with each of the partial sections having a second number of warp threads which is smaller than the first number of warp threads in the first weaving beam.

8. A seat belt webbing according to claim 7 , further comprising in that the pair of second and the third weaving beams are formed identically and arranged symmetrically to the first weaving beam.

9. A seat belt webbing for a safety belt device of a motor vehicle, comprising;

the belt webbing is formed having a first section wider in its lengthwise orientation than in a second section,

a plurality of warp threads of the belt webbing are woven in at least three weaving beams including a first beam, a pair of second beams, and a pair of third beams,

the belt webbing with the first weaving beam at a longitudinal center area of the webbing with a first number of warp threads, and the belt webbing is woven in partial sections of the pair of second and third weaving beams bordering on the first weaving beam with each of the partial sections having a second number of warp threads, which is smaller than the first number of warp threads in the first weaving beam,

the belt webbing has 140 to 160 warp threads in the first weaving beam.

10. A seat belt webbing for a safety belt device of a motor vehicle, comprising;

the belt webbing is formed having a first section wider in its lengthwise orientation than in a second section,

a plurality of warp threads of the belt webbing are woven in at least three weaving beams including a first beam, a pair of second beams, and a pair of third beams,

the belt webbing has 120 to 150 warp threads in each of the pairs of second and third weaving beams, and

the belt webbing with the first weaving beam at a longitudinal center area of the webbing with a first number of warp threads, and the belt webbing is woven in partial sections of the pairs of second and third weaving beams bordering on the first weaving beam with each of the second and third pairs of weaving beams having a second number of total warp threads, which is smaller than the first number of warp threads in the first weaving beam.

11. A seat belt webbing for a safety belt device of a motor vehicle, comprising;

the belt webbing is formed having a first section wider in its lengthwise orientation than in a second section,

the belt webbing is woven in the first section into two layers arranged above one another, and the two layers are attached to one another by a connecting thread,

the connecting thread is woven in a weaving beam separate from that of other of a plurality of warp threads.

12. A seat belt webbing according to claim 1 , further comprising in that a movable and lockable belt tongue is provided on the belt webbing in a fastenable vehicle belt buckle, which

distributes the belt webbing in a locked position to a diagonal shoulder belt webbing section across the chest of an occupant and a lap belt webbing section crossing the hips of the occupant, and

the first section is dimensioned and positioned that it forms the shoulder belt webbing section or a portion of the shoulder belt webbing section.

13. A safety belt device comprising

a first webbing retractor, and

the belt webbing being windable with a first end connected to the first webbing retractor,

the belt webbing is formed according to claim 1 , and

a second webbing retractor is provided onto which the belt webbing is windable at a second end.
