Abstract

The present invention relates to a seat belt presenter ( 1 ) for a seat belt system of a motor vehicle with a presenter arm with a guide component for a seat belt ( 3 ) of the seat belt system arranged on said arm, a drive system driving the presenter arm in an extension movement from a parked position into a presenting position, and a housing on which the presenter arm is guided, wherein the housing is formed by a hollow section with an elongate first chamber ( 23 ), in which the presenter arm is arranged, and the first chamber ( 23 ) has a shape determining the course of the extension movement in the direction of the extension movement of the presenter arm.

Claims (21)

1. A seat belt presenter for a seat belt system of a motor vehicle, comprising:

a presenter arm with a guide component provided thereon for a seat belt of the seat belt system, the presenter arm having a toothing,

a housing, on which the presenter arm is guided, wherein the housing is formed by a hollow section with an elongate first chamber, in which the presenter arm is arranged,

a drive system driving the presenter arm in an extension movement from a parked position into a presenting position,

the drive system having a worm gear which is driven in a rotational movement, and engages in the toothing of the presenter arm and during a rotational movement, drives the presenter arm in the extension movement as a result of the engagement in the toothing, the drive system has a flexible shaft, which can be driven in a rotational movement and with which the first worm is connected in a rotationally fixed manner,

the presenter arm having a second chamber, in which the drive system engages with a dimensionally stable guide bar, the flexible shaft and the worm gear supported by the guide bar, and

the first chamber has a shape defining the course of the extension movement in the direction of the extension movement of the presenter arm.

2. The seat belt presenter according to claim 1 , wherein

the housing is formed by at least two shell-shaped housing components, which complement one another in an assembled form to form the hollow section.

3. The seat belt presenter according to claim 1 , wherein

the presenter arm is curved, and the first chamber has a curvature identical to the curvature of the presenter arm.

4. The seat belt presenter according to claim 1 , wherein

a sliding surface or a contact surface, on which the presenter arm is guided and mounted, is provided in the housing.

5. The seat belt presenter according to claim 1 , wherein

the drive system is arranged at least in portions in the first chamber.

6. The seat belt presenter according to claim 1 , wherein

the guide component is fixed with a fastening attachment in the second chamber of the presenter arm.

7. The seat belt presenter according to claim 1 , wherein

the cross-section of the first or the second chamber has a polygonal shape, on which the presenter arm is supported in a rotationally fixed manner in relation to its longitudinal axis.

8. The vehicle seat with a seat belt presenter according to claim 1 , wherein
