According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the lock is connected via a thimble to the inherently rigid traction device designed as a wire rope or the like, and that this thimble is bent in such a way that the lock is in one for inserting a lock tongue of the belt system favorable location.

An independent return of the lock to its starting position after loosening the lock tongue can be achieved in an embodiment of the invention that the traction means .10 is designed to be resilient, e.g. by a wire rope with a spring steel insert or by a resilient strands twisted wire rope can be achieved.

The subject matter of the invention is to be described in more detail below with reference to an exemplary embodiment shown in the drawing explained.

The thimble 5 »which is used to connect the lock k to the traction means 6 is bent so that the lock k is held approximately upright in the recess 3, so that after a slight pre-bending or pulling forward, inserting the lock tongue 10 of a seat belt 11 is easily possible. When dimensioning the thimble 5, care must be taken that it does not bend up so far - that is, it stretches - even in the event of an accident-related load, that this can cause belt slack that is dangerous for the belt user.
