Abstract

Ein Schloß für ein Kraftfahrzeugsicherheitsgurtsystem zur Aufnahme und Verriegelung einer Einsteckzunge ist mit einem Riegel zur Festlegung der Zunge, der zwischen seiner Entriegelungs- und Verriegelungsstellung bewegbar ist, einem federbelasteten Auswerfer, der die Zunge in der Entriegelungsstellung des Riegels aus dem Schloßgehäuse drückt und einer ebenfalls federbelasteten, in Einschubrichtung der Zunge verschiebbaren Taste (1,2), durch die sich der Riegel in seine Entriegelungsstellung bewegen läßt versehen.
Um die Taste (1,2) bei einer auf das Schloß in entgegengesetzter Richtung zum Auslösehub einwirkenden Beschleunigung zu blockieren ist zumindest ein Teil der Taste zusätzlich kippbar gelagert. Dadurch bewegt sich die Taste bei einer entsprechenden Beschleunigung des Schlosses anders als bei einem gewollten Auslösehub. Diese Bewegung wird zur Blockierung der Taste ausgenützt. A lock for a motor vehicle seat belt system for receiving and locking a tongue is provided with a latch for fixing the tongue, which can be moved between its unlocked and locked position, a spring-loaded ejector, which presses the tongue out of the lock housing in the unlocked position of the bolt, and a spring-loaded one , provided in the direction of insertion of the tongue (1,2), by which the bolt can be moved into its unlocked position.
In order to block the key (1, 2) when the lock is accelerated in the opposite direction to the release stroke, at least part of the key is additionally tiltable. As a result, the key moves differently when the lock is accelerated appropriately than when the trigger stroke is wanted. This movement is used to block the button.
