A vehicle seat for a motor vehicle, comprising a backrest; a seat and an airbag device, wherein the airbag device comprises at least one airbag module and at least one arrestor strap mechanism, wherein the at least one airbag module comprises at least one airbag, and the at least one arrestor strap mechanism comprises at least one arrestor strap arrangement and at least one tensioning device for the arrestor strap arrangement, wherein one end of the arrestor strap arrangement is attached to the airbag, wherein the tensioning device is arranged at the seat.

2. The vehicle seat according to claim 1, wherein the tensioning device is attached to a seat well of the seat.

3. The vehicle seat according to claim 1, wherein the tensioning device is arranged above a seat well of the seat.

4. The vehicle seat according to claim 1, wherein the tensioning device is arranged in an upholstery of the seat.

5. The vehicle seat according to claim 1, wherein the tensioning device comprises a tensioning element, wherein the tensioning element can be accelerated in a straight line.

6. The vehicle seat according to claim 5, wherein the tensioning device is arranged so that the tensioning element can be accelerated in a lateral direction of the seat.

7. The vehicle seat according to claim 5, wherein the tensioning element can be accelerated pyrotechnically.

8. The vehicle seat according to claim 1, wherein the tensioning device has a drivable piston rod that is preferably multi-part, wherein the parts of the piston rod are arranged telescopically with respect to one another.

9. The vehicle seat according to claim 1, wherein the tensioning device comprises a tensioning element, wherein the tensioning element deflects the arrestor strap arrangement.

10. The vehicle seat according to claim 9, wherein the arrestor strap arrangement is fixed on one side of the tensioning device and is guided on the opposite side of the tensioning device for a tensioning movement.

11. The vehicle seat according to claim 9, wherein the arrestor strap arrangement travels laterally with respect to the tensioning device, parallel to the straight-line movement direction of the tensioning element.

12. The vehicle seat according to claim 1, wherein the airbag device comprises two airbag modules and the two airbag modules are arranged on opposite sides of the backrest, wherein an arrestor strap arrangement is associated with each airbag module.

13. The vehicle seat according to claim 12, wherein a tensioning device is associated with each airbag module, which tensioning device is respectively arranged at the seat.

14. An arrestor strap mechanism for a vehicle seat, in particular for vehicle seat according to claim 1, comprising at least one arrestor strap arrangement, wherein one end of an arrestor strap arrangement can be attached to the airbag, and a tensioning device for the arrestor strap arrangement, wherein the tensioning device comprises a tensioning element, wherein the tensioning element deflects the arrestor strap arrangement.

Description

The invention and the technical environment are explained below by way of example with reference to the figures. The figures show schematically

[0023] FIG. 1: a seat well of a vehicle seat with two tensioning devices,

[0024] FIG. 2: a perspective view of a tensioning device,

[0025] FIG. 3: an exploded view of the tensioning device, and

[0026] FIG. 4: a sectional view of the tensioning device.

[0027] The tensioning device shown in FIGS. 2 to 4 comprises a tensioner tube 6 in which a piston rod 5 is arranged. The piston rod 5 can be accelerated in a straight line by means of a compressed gas generated by an inflator 7. At the end of the piston rod 5 which in the initial state protrudes beyond the tensioner tube 6, a cage 8 is attached in which a tensioning element 4 designed as a deflection roller is mounted.

[0028] The tensioning device 3 is also coupled to an arrestor strap arrangement 2, which is fixed on one side of the tensioner tube 6, is guided from there through the cage 8 and is deflected by the tensioning element 4. The arrestor strap arrangement 2 is guided on the other side through the cage 8 and laterally past the tensioner tube 6. The cage 8 is arranged in a housing 9 so that the cage 8 is protected by the housing 9 during the tensioning movement.

[0029] FIG. 1 shows a basic frame of a vehicle seat with a backrest 10 and a seat 11. From FIG. 1 it can be seen that two tensioning devices 3 are directly attached to a seat well 1 of the seat 11 of the vehicle seat. The tensioning devices 3 are aligned such that the tensioning elements 4 are accelerated orthogonally to a vehicle longitudinal direction in the installed state in a vehicle. The arrestor strap arrangements 2 are each guided by means of a suitable guide to an airbag of an airbag module 12, which are attached to opposite sides of the backrest 10 of the vehicle seat.

[0030] In the event of activation, the tensioning element 4 is accelerated in a straight line by means of the piston rod 5, whereby the free end of the arrestor strap arrangement 2 attached to the airbag is retracted. The tensioning device 3 forms a type of pulley for the arrestor strap arrangement 2, so that the tensioning path covered by the free end of the arrestor strap arrangement 2 corresponds approximately to twice the path covered by the tensioning element 4. The airbags can be guided during deployment by means of the arrestor strap arrangement 2 or can be brought into a desired position after deployment by means of the arrestor strap arrangements.
