A seat belt system for a vehicle comprising a seat (16) that includes a seat frame (26) with a seat frame side part (28), a seat belt (18) associated with the seat (16) and having a webbing (40), and a belt tensioner associated with the seat belt (18). The seat frame side part (28) includes a lateral opening (36) facing the vehicle interior. The seat (16) includes a seat cross tube that opens into the vehicle interior via the opening (36). The belt tensioner is accommodated in the seat cross tube. The seat belt system further includes a belt guide (54) and a webbing deflector (56) for the webbing (40), the belt guide (54) being provided at the opening (36). Moreover, a vehicle comprising such a seat belt system is provided.

The invention relates to a vehicle seat crash securing device (1) used for a vehicle seat of a motorized vehicle. The vehicle seat crash securing device (1) comprises a locking device for locking a height of a seat cushion frame. An actuator (3) is actuated in the case of a crash for tightening a belt rope (5). A blocking element in a blocking position holds a locking element of the locking device in an unlocked position. In a releasing position, the blocking element releases the locking element. The locking element is biased by a spring element into the locked position. The blocking element can be moved by a friction force generated by the actuator (3) from the blocking position into the releasing position. Preferably, the friction force is generated by a follower (8) (e.g. a friction wheel (9)), the follower (8) being pressed against the belt rope (5). The movement of the follower (8) is coupled to the movement of the blocking element.

A vehicle seat system includes a seat including a seat back and a seat base and a passive restraint system mounted adjacent to the seat. The passive restraint system includes a lap belt. A belt adjuster is mounted at the seat. The belt adjuster includes a member operable to engage and shift the lap belt away from the seat back upon being exposed to a selected deceleration force.

An embodiment seat belt mounting structure includes a front seat disposed towards a front of a vehicle body, a rear seat disposed towards a rear of the vehicle body, a center pillar part, a rear pillar part disposed behind the center pillar part, a side reinforcement connecting the center pillar part and the rear pillar part, and a rear seat retractor coupled to the side reinforcement.

A seat belt assembly for a vehicle includes a pretensioner, and a cable connected to the pretensioner. The seat belt assembly includes a torsion bar having a plurality of teeth. The cable has slots interlocking with the teeth. During a sensed impact of the vehicle, the pretensioner is activated to retract the cable to pretension the seat belt assembly relative to an occupant of the vehicle. The interlocking of the slots with the teeth exerts torsional forces on the torsion bar, which yields to reduce forces on a chest of the occupant.

A vehicle seatbelt device according to an embodiment includes a seatbelt that restrains a part of the body of an occupant in a host vehicle, a tension adjustment mechanism that is able to adjust a tension of the seatbelt, a recognizer that recognizes situation in the vicinity of the host vehicle, an index value deriver that derives an index value indicating an overlapping degree between a predicted traveling trajectory of another vehicle which is recognized by the recognizer and approaches the host vehicle and a predicted traveling trajectory of the host vehicle, and a tension controller that controls an operation timing of the tension adjustment mechanism on the basis of the index value derived by the index value deriver and a degree of approach of the another vehicle with respect to the host vehicle.

An assembly includes a housing. The assembly includes a spool rotatable relative to the housing. The assembly includes a cable fixed to the spool. The assembly includes a passenger restraint fixed to the cable. The assembly includes a pyrotechnic device fixed relative to the housing and designed to rotate the spool relative to the housing. The assembly includes a ratchet-and-pawl mechanism between the housing and the spool.

A vehicle body structure includes a floor assembly, a B-pillar assembly, a seatbelt tensioning mechanism, a seatbelt pre-tensioning device and a support bracket. The B-pillar assembly is attached to the floor assembly and extends upwardly from the floor assembly. The seatbelt tensioning mechanism is supported to the floor assembly adjacent to an intersection between the floor assembly and the B-pillar. The seatbelt pre-tensioning device is positioned adjacent to the seatbelt tensioning device. The support bracket is fixed to the B-pillar and the seatbelt pre-tensioning device.

The invention relates to a child safety seat for attaching to a motor vehicle seat, comprising a seat region, a back portion, an impact shield, the impact shield comprising an integrated airbag and/or an airbag being provided in the seat region, an acceleration-sensing device for sensing an acceleration of the child safety seat, and a control device, which is configured in such a way that the airbag is deployed on the basis of an acceleration sensed by the acceleration-sensing device.

A seat belt device includes a webbing and a tongue. The webbing includes a lap belt and a shoulder belt. At least a portion of the lap belt is configured to be disposed to extend in a vehicle-width direction along a front of an abdomen of an occupant. At least a portion of the shoulder belt is configured to be disposed obliquely along a front of a chest of the occupant. The tongue is provided between the lap belt and the shoulder belt of the webbing and is configured to be coupled to a vehicle body when the tongue is to be mounted. The tongue rotates in accordance with a collision or a warning of the collision of a vehicle in a direction in which the shoulder belt is twisted with respect to the vehicle body.
