Arrangement for example in connection with a safety belt

Claim 1

Arrangement in connection with a safety belt of the three point type, the hip and diagonal parts of which belt in operating condition of the belt extend in a V-shape in the cross direction of the vehicle, said diagonal belt part at one side of the seat of the vehicle being threaded and running through a deflection fitting mounted at said one side, from which it extends into a collection means, which biases the belt with a yielding force, and said hip belt part at the said side being fastened to the seat or the body of the vehicle, means for preventing loosely hanging belt loops comprising a coupling buckle having a first and second opening, said belt at the point of the V being threaded and running through said first and said second openings in said coupling buckle, the portion of said buckle positioned between said openings forming a bar located at the point of the V of said belt and extending in the cross direction of said belt, wherein said buckle is adapted to be coupled to and uncoupled from a corresponding coupling device located at the other side of the seat, said first buckle opening, which is located nearest to the deflection fitting, having a small extension and the second buckle opening having a large extension in the longitudinal direction of the belt, whereby the belt extends through the range of said first opening with a large deflection degree when said coupling buckle has a position at some distance from said deflection fitting and the belt arrangement is in its unactive condition while said belt extends through the range of said second buckle opening with a small deflection degree in last mentioned condition of the belt, wherein the belt when by said yielding force its diagonal belt part is drawn through said deflection fitting, will receive a decrease of the deflection degree in the range of said first buckle opening when said coupling buckle contacts the deflection fitting, whereby the friction action between said coupling buckle and the belt portion thread therethrough will come below the yielding force produced by said collection means.
