Description

[0001] The invention relates to a belt arrangement, in particular for a motor vehicle, and to a motor vehicle having a belt arrangement. The invention also relates to a motor vehicle having a belt arrangement.

[0002] In motor vehicles, it is known that a vehicle seat is assigned a belt arrangement so that the occupant and user of the vehicle seat can fasten themselves using the belt webbing of the belt arrangement.

[0003] Various belt arrangements have become known. For example, belt arrangements with a belt retractor unit have become known in which one end of the belt strap is attached to a point on the body or on the vehicle seat and the other end of the belt strap is attached to the belt retractor unit. The belt retractor unit is attached to the B-pillar to the side of the vehicle seat and a deflection unit for the belt strap is provided at shoulder or head height so that the belt strap runs from the belt retractor unit essentially along the B-pillar vertically upwards to the deflection unit, from where the belt strap then runs back down to the vehicle seat or to the body-side attachment point. In such motor vehicles, the necessary installation space must be made available for the belt arrangement along the B-pillar in order to spatially arrange the belt retractor unit and the deflection unit.However, this required installation space is not always available, for example, in electrically powered vehicles with a larger battery system and / or in sports-designed vehicles.

[0004] Particularly in two-seater vehicles where there is a wall behind the first row of seats, the B-pillar arrangement may also be unsuitable. In such vehicles, the belt arrangement can also be provided in an alternative way. However, alternative solutions often reach their limits when they expose components that would otherwise not be visible, which should be avoided.

[0005] DE 10 2020 110 594 A1 discloses a vehicle seat with an integrated belt with integrated belt restraint, wherein the retractor mechanism is arranged centrally on the rear side of the vehicle seat.

[0006] DE 10 2007 062 636 A1 discloses a vehicle seat with an integrated belt, wherein the backrest has a belt guide.

[0007] The object is to create a belt arrangement and a motor vehicle with a belt arrangement which, compared to the state of the art, is advantageously designed in terms of installation space and is also visually pleasing.

[0008] The object of the belt arrangement is achieved with the features of claim 1.

[0009] One embodiment of the invention relates to a belt arrangement with a belt webbing, a belt retractor unit and with a deflection unit for deflecting the course of the belt webbing, wherein the belt webbing is fastened at one of its ends to a point on the body or to a vehicle seat and the other end of the belt webbing is fastened in the belt retractor unit, wherein the belt retractor unit is arranged behind a vehicle seat on one side of the vehicle seat and the deflection unit is arranged on the other side of the vehicle seat, so that the belt webbing runs from the belt retractor unit to the deflection unit transversely behind the seat and from the deflection unit to the first end of the belt webbing essentially laterally of the vehicle seat from top to bottom in the front, wherein a cover element is also provided which at least partially encompasses the deflection unit and leaves a gap between the deflection unit and the cover element to allow the belt webbing to pass through.The cover element serves to prevent unwanted viewing of the structural components of the motor vehicle and elements of the belt arrangement and to ensure that the appearance of the interior of the motor vehicle is not impaired or disturbed, while at the same time the available installation space in the vehicle interior can be used in an optimized manner for the belt arrangement.

[0010] In one embodiment, it is also expedient if the deflection unit has a bracket which, at least in some regions, runs essentially diagonally, over which the belt webbing runs. The bracket serves to deflect a substantially horizontal belt path to a substantially vertical belt path by the belt webbing running over the diagonal bracket and being deflected around the bracket by approximately 90°, and in the process also being deflected from approximately horizontal to approximately vertical. This makes it possible for the belt webbing to run approximately horizontally behind the vehicle seat and approximately vertically next to the vehicle seat, so that it is available to the user to the side of the vehicle seat in the usual way.

[0011] It is also advantageous if the bar has two end sections, each of which is attached to structural elements of the vehicle body. This ensures that the sturdy bar is very securely attached to the vehicle body, allowing the bar to absorb even significant forces acting on the belt webbing if necessary.

[0012] It is also advantageous if the cover element has an arched cross-section and overlaps and covers the bar in the area of ​​the diagonal line. This allows the bar to be overlapped in such a way that it is virtually invisible from the outside, leaving only a narrow gap through which the belt webbing passes. This conceals the bar and other structural elements from the observer and user of the vehicle, allowing these components to disappear invisibly beneath the cover element and not impair the visual appearance of the vehicle interior.

[0013] In a further embodiment, it is also advantageous if the panel element has fastening means by which the panel element is secured to the bracket. This allows the panel element to be attached to the bracket without the need for complex assembly steps. Preferably, a positive fastening can also be used, for example, by clipping, i.e., without the need for tools.

[0014] It is also advisable for the fastening devices to have retaining fingers that allow the bracket to be gripped, particularly for clipping onto the bracket. This allows for tool-free installation.

[0015] It is also advisable for the fastening elements to have a web to prevent rotation. This ensures that the component's orientation on the bracket or relative to the bracket is reliably achieved and maintained.

[0016] The problem of the motor vehicle is solved with the features of claim 8.

[0017] An embodiment of the invention relates to a motor vehicle with at least one vehicle seat and at least one belt arrangement according to the invention.

[0018] In one embodiment, it is also expedient if the belt arrangement with a belt strap, a belt retractor unit and a deflection unit for deflecting the course of the belt strap is arranged adjacent to a vehicle seat, wherein the belt strap is fastened at one of its ends to a point on the body or to a vehicle seat and the other end of the belt strap is fastened in the belt retractor unit, wherein the belt retractor unit is arranged behind a vehicle seat on one side of the vehicle seat and the deflection unit is arranged on the other side of the vehicle seat, so that the belt strap runs from the belt retractor unit to the deflection unit transversely behind the seat and from the deflection unit to the first end of the belt strap runs substantially laterally of the vehicle seat from top to bottom, wherein a panel element is provided,which at least partially encompasses the deflection unit and leaves a gap between the deflection unit and the panel element to allow the belt to pass through.

[0019] It is also expedient if two vehicle seats and two belt arrangements are provided, with each vehicle seat being assigned a belt arrangement.

[0020] The invention will be explained in detail below using an exemplary embodiment with reference to the drawings. In the drawings: Fig. 1 a schematic perspective view of a part of a vehicle interior of a motor vehicle with a vehicle seat and an embodiment of a belt arrangement according to the invention, Fig. 2 a schematic perspective partial view of the belt arrangement, Fig. 3 a further schematic perspective partial view of the belt arrangement, Fig. 4 a further schematic perspective partial view of the belt arrangement, Fig. 5 a further schematic perspective partial view of the belt arrangement, and Fig. 6 a further schematic perspective partial view of the belt arrangement.

[0021] The Fig. 1 shows a schematic perspective partial view of a part of a vehicle interior 2 of a motor vehicle 1 with a vehicle seat 3 and an embodiment of a belt arrangement 4 according to the invention. Fig. 2 to 6 show various partial views of the belt arrangement 4.

[0022] In this exemplary embodiment, the motor vehicle 1 is a convertible vehicle with two vehicle seats 3, each of which is assigned a belt arrangement 4. Alternatively, the motor vehicle 1 can also be designed differently.

[0023] The belt arrangement 4 has a belt strap 5, a belt retractor unit 6 and a deflection unit 7 for deflecting the course of the belt strap 5.

[0024] The belt strap 5 is attached at one of its ends (not shown here) to a point on the body or to a vehicle seat 3. In this exemplary embodiment, one end of the belt strap 5 is attached to the lower area of ​​the body or the vehicle seat 3, see arrow 14.

[0025] The other end of the belt strap 5 is fastened in the belt retractor unit 6, wherein the belt retractor unit 6 can at least partially roll up or unroll the belt strap 5.

[0026] In the present exemplary embodiment, the belt retractor 6 is arranged behind a vehicle seat 3 on one side of the vehicle seat 3, with the deflection unit 7 being arranged on the other side of the vehicle seat 3. In the present example shown, the belt retractor 6 is arranged between the two vehicle seats 3, with the deflection unit 7 being arranged outside of the vehicle seat 3. This arrangement causes the belt webbing 5 to run from the belt retractor 6 to the deflection unit 7 transversely behind the vehicle seat 3 and from the deflection unit 7 to the first end of the belt webbing essentially laterally of the vehicle seat 3 from top to bottom, as shown in Fig. 1 can be seen.

[0027] The deflection unit 7 has a bracket 8 that is at least partially substantially inclined, over which the webbing 5 runs. Since the bracket 8 runs diagonally from the inside top to the outside bottom, the webbing 5, which partially winds around the bracket 8, is deflected from an approximately horizontal course to an approximately vertical course.

[0028] The figures also show that the bracket 8 has two end regions 9, each of which is secured to structural elements 10 of the vehicle body. Thus, the bracket 8 can be securely attached to the vehicle body, so that when mechanical stress is applied by the webbing 5 to the bracket 8, the bracket 8 can withstand it and does not collapse.

[0029] Furthermore, it can be seen that a cover element 11 is provided which at least partially encompasses the deflection unit 4 and leaves a gap 12 between the deflection unit 4 and the cover element 11 for the passage of the belt strap 5. The cover element 11 shields the deflection unit 4 from the outside and nevertheless enables the belt strap 5 to pass safely through the gap 12.

[0030] The cover element 11 is arched in section and overlaps the bracket 8 in the area of ​​the oblique course and covers it.

[0031] For fastening the panel element 11, the panel element 11 has fastening means 13, by means of which the panel element 11 is fastened to the bracket 8. The fastening means 13 can have retaining fingers, which serve to grip the bracket 8, in particular for clipping it to the bracket 8. The fastening means 13 can also have a web as an anti-twist device, so that the panel element 11 is not twisted or cannot be twisted while seated on the bracket 8.
