A harness system includes an upper buckle, an upper strap and a restraining assembly including an anti-sliding structure and a beam structure. A through slot is formed on the upper buckle. The upper strap passes through the through slot. The beam structure is slidably disposed on the upper buckle. The anti-sliding structure is disposed on at least one of the beam structure and a wall of the through slot. The upper strap is engaged by the anti-sliding structure for restraining a sliding movement of the upper buckle relative to the upper strap and toward a shoulder portion when the upper strap is forced to drive the beam structure to slide relative to the upper buckle and toward the wall of the through slot.

A belt deflector having a main element which is fastenable to a vehicle structure, and a belt contact element which is movable in relation to the main element and forms a belt contact face or belt contact edge for a seat belt that is to be deflected. The belt deflector has a deformable intermediate element which, during movement of the belt contact element relative to the main element in the direction of the intermediate element, is deformed and is pressed against the seat belt. The belt contact element forms a mating clamping face, and a belt strap portion of the seat belt is arranged between the intermediate element and the mating clamping face. During the relative movement, the intermediate element presses the belt strap portion onto the mating clamping face.

A buckle assembly includes a first frame member defining a first slot, which includes a first open end positioned at a first side of the first frame member and which includes a first closed end positioned spaced apart from a second side of the first frame member. The buckle assembly further includes a second frame member defining a second slot, which includes a second open end positioned at a second side of the second frame member and a second closed end positioned spaced apart from a first side of the second frame member, wherein the second frame member is positioned in overlying relationship to the first frame member. The buckle assembly further includes a third frame member is configured to position within a recess defined within the second frame member.

A belt fitting for a safety belt device, having a base section and a latch plate projecting from same. The base section has a belt eyelet with a belt strap running surface, which is in sliding contact with a belt strap guided through the belt eyelet when the safety belt is being worn, wherein, in the transverse direction of the belt strap, the belt strap running surface transitions on both sides at lateral corner regions into a belt eyelet edge opposite the belt strap running surface. The belt strap running surface has a surface contour which provides stable transverse guidance of the belt strap in the belt eyelet under loading conditions, which counteracts a transverse load component acting on the belt strap. A displacement body is formed on the belt eyelet edge-opposite the belt strap running surface, which reduces a gap width of the belt eyelet.

The invention relates to a locking tongue assembly for a seatbelt system, the tongue assembly (100) including a body (120) having a belt webbing opening (122) through which a belt webbing is passable and in which a cinch bar (140) is locatable for cinching the belt webbing, the cinch bar having a main body portion (142) and first and second end portions (144), (146), the belt webbing opening (122) being defined by axially spaced apart first and second sidewalls (124), (126) each of which is adapted to receive a respective end portion (144), (146) of the cinch bar (140), and a stop portion (128) in the belt webbing opening (122) for urging against the main body portion (142) of the cinch bar (140).

A belt fitting for a safety belt device in a vehicle that includes a base segment and an insertion tongue connected thereto, in which base segment a belt eye is provided, through which a belt webbing is guided and divides the belt webbing into a shoulder belt segment and a lap belt segment when the safety belt is worn. The belt fitting has a clamping element movable between a release position, such that the belt webbing is freely movable in sliding contact over at least one belt running surface, and a clamping position, in which the belt webbing is tightly clamped between a clamping stop on the base segment and the clamping element in the event of a load or crash. The belt running surface of the belt fitting has a surface contour, which ensures stable transverse guidance of the belt webbing in the event of a load.

A tongue mechanism for use in an occupant restraint system also having a buckle mechanism and a webbing. The tongue mechanism includes a tongue member configured to selectively engage the buckle mechanism, a body formed over a portion of the tongue member, a slider, and a biasing member configured to laterally bias the slider. The body includes a body contact surface. The slider includes a slider contact surface and is configured to travel along a track between a first free position and a second locking position. When the slider is positioned in the first free position the tongue mechanism is free to slide along the length of the webbing, and when the slider is positioned in the second locking position a portion of the webbing is clamped between the slider contact surface and the body contact surface thereby preventing the tongue mechanism from sliding along the length of the webbing.

Buckle component (1) having a belt receiving opening (2) and a frame (3) enclosing the belt receiving opening (2), and a bar (4) about which the belt (5) is guidable, wherein the bar (4) is fastened to the frame (3), in a manner crossing, in particular completely crossing, the belt receiving opening (2), by at least one fastening device (6, 7) of the buckle component (1). The bar (4) is fastened to the frame by plastic deformation of the bar (4) and/or of at least one of the fastening devices (6, 7) and/or of the frame (3).

Adjustable connectors disclosed herein are adapted to connect webbing to a buckle. The webbing can be, e.g., a urethane coated webbing, some other type of coated webbing, or a non-coated webbing. The adjustable connector includes a baseplate, a tongue at a front end of the baseplate, a webbing aperture within the baseplate, first and second walls extending perpendicularly from the baseplate, and first and second slots respectively within the first and second walls. In certain embodiments, the slots are tapered. In certain embodiments, the adjustable connector includes a rotatable lock bar including a central portion having an outer surface and first and second tabs. In certain embodiments, each of the tabs has a cross-section with a major-axis that is greater than a minor-axis that is orthogonal to the major-axis. In certain embodiments, a front edge of the webbing aperture comprises an arced front edge.

A buckle tongue having a tongue body extending in an insertion direction and forms a belt slot that extends across the insertion direction and is provided for guiding a belt strap through it, and has a contact section in which the belt strap rests in a load position, and the contact section has several recesses that in the load position minimize slipping of the belt strap; and a blocking element movably arranged in the tongue body, wherein the strap can move through the belt slot in a pass-through position of the blocking element and is inhibited in its mobility by the blocking element in the load position by a tensile force introduced into the belt strap, wherein in the pass-through position, the blocking element is arranged between the strap and the contact section, so that the belt strap does not rest against the recesses in the pass-through position.
