Abstract

A deflecting device for a safety belt in a motor vehicle includes a belt deflection element, which is designed to deflect a safety belt brought from a first direction in a second direction. The belt deflection element is formed on a molded part, and a belt guiding element is provided on the molded part and directs the safety belt brought onto the molded part towards the belt deflection element.

Claims (30)

1. A deflecting device for a safety belt, comprising:

a belt deflecting element, which is configured to deflect a safety belt introduced from a first direction into a second direction, wherein

the belt deflecting element is formed on a molded part,

at least one belt run-on element is provided on the molded part, said belt run-on element directing the safety belt introduced onto the molded part toward the belt deflecting element,

a width of the belt run-on element corresponds to 1 to 1.5 times a width of a belt webbing of the safety belt, and

a width of the belt deflecting element corresponds to 2 to 5 times the width of the belt webbing, the width of the belt deflecting element being defined by a path along which the safety belt is shiftable on the belt deflecting element.

2. The deflecting device according to claim 1 , wherein

the molded part is formed from a sheet.

3. The deflecting device according to claim 2 , wherein

the molded part is a deep-drawn part.

4. The deflecting device according to claim 1 , wherein

the belt run-on element is formed at a first edge of the molded part.

5. The deflecting device according to claim 4 , wherein

the first edge of the molded part is rolled.

6. The deflecting device according to claim 4 , wherein

the belt deflecting element is formed at a second edge of the molded part.

7. The deflecting device according to claim 6 , wherein

the second edge of the molded part is rolled.

8. The deflecting device according to claim 6 , wherein

a central connecting structure of the molded part extends between the first rolled edge and the second rolled edge, and

at least one belt guiding portion of the belt deflecting element and at least one belt guiding portion of the belt run-on element protrude beyond the connecting structure.

9. The deflecting device according to claim 8 , wherein

the belt deflecting element is curved in an arcuate manner.

10. The deflecting device according to claim 1 , wherein

the belt deflecting element is formed in an L-shaped manner.

11. The deflecting device according to claim 1 , wherein

central axes of the belt run-on element and belt deflecting element extend in a skewed manner with respect to one another.

12. The deflecting device according to claim 1 , wherein

the safety belt is a motor vehicle safety belt.

13. A motor vehicle comprising at least one safety belt arrangement comprising a deflecting device according to claim 1 .
