A seatbelt and method of operating a seatbelt that allows webbing to slide between a lap portion and a torso portion through an unlocked weblock of a tongue assembly, and upon forces exerted on the webbing by an occupant, the weblock locking the webbing from movement between the lap and torso portions while flexing to allow for webbing payout in the torso portion.

A seatbelt tongue includes a tongue plate, a latch plate, a guide pin and a first retention bump. The tongue plate includes a belt slot. The latch plate is slidably connected with the tongue plate and is translatable between a first position and a second position. The guide pin is fixed to one of the tongue plate and the latch plate. The guide pin slidably passes through a pin slot in the other of the tongue plate and the latch plate. The first retention bump in the pin slot defines a pin pocket receiving the pin in the first position.

A seatbelt assembly includes a monolithic anchor having a first plate, a second plate spaced from the first plate, and a spring connecting the first plate to the second plate. The first plate has a webbing mount. The second plate has a vehicle mount.

A seatbelt assembly that includes a tongue assembly having a weblock mounted to a tongue selectively securable to a buckle; a webbing extends through the weblock between a torso portion and a lap portion; and with the weblock allowing for the webbing to slide between the torso and lap portions when in an unlocked position and pivoting relative to the tongue when in a locked position to reorient the torso portion extending from the tongue.

A seatbelt and method of operating a seatbelt that allows webbing to slide between a lap portion and a torso portion through an unlocked weblock of a tongue assembly, and upon forces exerted on the webbing by an occupant, the weblock locking the webbing from movement between the lap and torso portions while flexing to allow for webbing payout in the torso portion.

A seatbelt assembly and method of operating a seatbelt includes allowing webbing to slide between a lap portion and a torso portion through an unlocked weblock of a tongue assembly; and upon forces exerted by an occupant on the webbing, the weblock locking the webbing from movement between the lap and torso portions while increasing tension in the lap portion via the tongue assembly.

A seatbelt assembly and method of operating that includes a tongue assembly having a weblock and a secondary weblock mounted to a tongue selectively securable to a buckle; a webbing extending adjacent to the weblock and secondary weblock between a torso portion and a lap portion; and the weblock and secondary weblock allowing for the webbing to slide between the torso and lap portions when in unlocked positions and pivoting relative to the tongue such that the weblock and secondary weblock prevent the webbing from sliding between lap and torso portions in locked positions.

A restraint system includes a restraint, an anchor coupled to the restraint and movable along an anchor guide, an anchor energy-absorbing (EA) device configured to control movement of the anchor along the anchor guide, and a controller that includes a processor configured to receive information indicative of an imminent event, receive information indicative of a recline angle being above a recline threshold, and send a command to enable the anchor to move along the anchor guide under control of the anchor EA device based on the information indicative of the imminent event and the recline angle being above the recline threshold.

A load limiter may include a load limiter body to which a downward pulling force and an upward pulling force are applied together in opposite directions, wherein the load limiter absorbs energy by deformation to limit the downward pulling force in a multi-stage manner and simultaneously absorbs energy by deformation to limit the upward pulling force in a multi-stage manner.

A belt retractor having a belt shaft having a shaft body, a profile head and a torsion bar, wherein the torsion bar arranged in the shaft body is connected on one end to the shaft body and on a second end to the profile head, and the profile head can be securely attached to the vehicle, and having a belt pretensioner, wherein a pretensioner drive wheel of the belt pretensioner is directly connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the profile head of the belt shaft, and mass bodies can be engaged with the pretensioner drive wheel so as to transmit force to drive the belt shaft in winding direction. The pretensioner drive wheel (16) is configured by means of two parts, the profile head (1) of the belt shaft and a push-on ring (2) that is pushed onto the profile head (1) and is positively and non-positively connected thereto, wherein respectively mutually opposite dome-shaped partial receiving socket segments (3), which form together receiving sockets for the mass bodies, are formed on the profile head (1) and on the push-on ring (2).
