Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Hosenträgergurt für Rennwagen gemäß den Merkmalen im Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a harness for racing cars according to the features in the preamble of claim 1.

Hosenträgergurte sind Personenrückhaltesysteme, welche insbesondere beim Einsatz in Rennwagen einen geteilten Beckengurt, zwei Schultergurte und zwei Schrittgurte aufweisen, die direkt oder indirekt an einem zentralen Gurtverschluss zusammenführbar sind (Angebotsliste der Schroth Safety Products GmbH, Im Ohl 14, 50714 Arnsberg "Weight and Price Comparison for Open Wheel Racing Harnesses").Harness belts are personal restraint systems, which are particularly useful for Use in racing cars a split lap belt, two shoulder belts and two Have crotch straps attached directly or indirectly to a central belt buckle can be merged (list of offers from Schroth Safety Products GmbH, Im Ohl 14, 50714 Arnsberg "Weight and Price Comparison for Open Wheel Racing Harnesses ").

Die Schrittgurte können hierbei an einem T-förmigen Beschlag befestigt sein (Profi III-6 und Profi II-6), der mit einer Beschlagzunge in eine entsprechende Aufnahme des Gurtverschlusses von unten her eingesteckt wird. Durch den Abstand der Befestigungen der Schrittgurte an dem T-förmigen Beschlag wird angestrebt, dass die Schrittgurte seitlich an den Schenkeln eines Fahrers anliegen sollen und dadurch die Gefahr von Genitalverletzungen vermieden wird.The crotch straps can be attached to a T-shaped fitting (Profi III-6 and Profi II-6), which with a fitting tongue in a corresponding Recording the belt buckle is inserted from below. By the Distance of the fastenings of the crotch straps on the T-shaped fitting strived for the crotch straps to lie on the sides of a driver's thighs and the risk of genital injuries is avoided.

Solche sich vom Gurtverschluss aus nach unten erstreckenden T-förmigen Beschläge können aber nicht immer in der geeignetsten Lage zum Fahrer gehalten werden, so dass ein Kontakt der Enden des T-förmigen Beschlags mit den Oberschenkeln möglich ist. Dies führt nicht nur zu Unbequemlichkeiten, sondern bei einem Unfall gegebenenfalls auch zu Verletzungen, wenn die Beine des Fahrers in der Rückprallphase hoch schleudern. Es ist in diesem Zusammenhang in der Praxis bekannt, dass derartige T-förmige Beschläge sich bei einem Unfall so U-förmig nach oben biegen können, dass der Öffnungshebel des Gurtverschlusses, der entsprechend den Reglementierungen der Rennsportorganisation FIA nach unten zeigen muss, in seiner Bewegungsfreiheit erheblich eingeschränkt wird und der Gurtverschluss sich nicht mehr öffnen lässt.Such T-shaped fittings extending downward from the belt buckle but can not always be kept in the most suitable position to the driver so that the ends of the T-shaped fitting come into contact with the Thighs is possible. This not only leads to discomfort, but in the event of an accident, possibly even injuries if the legs of the driver in the rebound phase. It is in this context known in practice that such T-shaped fittings in an accident can bend upwards in a U-shape so that the opening lever the belt buckle, which corresponds to the regulations of the racing organization FIA must face downwards in its freedom of movement is significantly restricted and the belt buckle no longer open leaves.

Darüber hinaus kann ein solcher T-förmiger Beschlag ein ungehindertes Hindurchgleiten durch dafür vorgesehene Öffnungen an Sitzen behindern, welche als sogenannte "extrication seats" ausgebildet sind. Bei diesen Sitzen bleiben die Fahrer nach einem Unfall an ihnen fixiert, so dass sie zusammen mit den Sitzen stabilisiert und damit wirbelsäulenschonend aus den Rennfahrzeugen heraus gehoben werden können.In addition, such a T-shaped fitting can slide freely obstruct through openings provided on seats, which are designed as so-called "extrication seats". Stay with these seats the drivers are fixed on them after an accident, so that they along with the Sitting stabilized and therefore spine-protecting from the racing cars can be lifted out.

Zum Stand der Technik zählt ferner eine Ausführungsform eines Hosenträgergurts mit geteiltem Beckengurt, Schultergurten und Schrittgurten (Profi III-6F und Profi II-6F), bei welcher die über die Oberschenkel eines Fahrers verlaufenden Schrittgurte jeweils durch neben den Gurtzungen auf den Teillängen des Beckengurts angebrachte D-förmige Ringe und von diesen Ringen schräg nach oben an dem Gurtverschluss vorbei in den Bereich der Gurtzungen der Schultergurte geführt sind. Die Schrittgurte weisen an ihren verschlussnahen Enden Schlaufen auf, durch welche die Gurtzungen der Schultergurte gesteckt und dann in den Gurtverschluss eingerastet werden können.The prior art also includes an embodiment of a harness belt with split lap belt, shoulder straps and crotch straps (Profi III-6F and Profi II-6F), in which those running over the thighs of a driver Crotch straps each by next to the belt tongues on the partial lengths of the lap belt attached D-shaped rings and of these rings at an angle upwards past the belt fastener into the area of the belt tongues of the Shoulder straps are guided. The crotch straps point to their fastener Ends of loops through which the belt tongues of the shoulder straps are inserted and can then be snapped into the buckle.

Eine solche Ausführungsform ist jedoch mit der Eigenart behaftet, dass die Gurtzungen der Schultergurte mindestens um die Breite der endseitig der Schrittgurte angeordneten Schlaufen länger sein müssen als es zur Verrastung der Schultergurte mit dem Gurtverschluss erforderlich wäre. Derartig lange Gurtzungen sind demzufolge bei der in der Regel gekrümmten Sitzhaltung der Fahrer in Rennfahrzeugen, insbesondere Formelrennfahrzeugen, äußerst unbequem, weil sie auf die unteren Rippenbögen drücken können. Darüber hinaus ist kein direkter Kraftfluss von den Schultergurten über den Gurtverschluss in die Schrittgurte gewährleistet. Vielmehr wird der Gurtverschluss bei einer Lastbeaufschlagung nach oben gezogen. Auch können die Teillängen des Beckengurts relativ zu den über die D-förmigen Ringe umgelenkten Schrittgurten gleiten, wodurch eine korrekte Positionierung eines Fahrers nur bedingt gewährleistet werden kann. Durch das Hochziehen des Gurtverschlusses stellt sich zudem eine Verlängerung der Schultergurte ein mit der Folge, dass zum einen ein Fahrer nicht optimal festgeschnallt und zum anderen im Falle eines Unfalls eine erhöhte Vorverlagerung des Körpers des Fahrers mit der Gefahr eines stärkeren Kopfaufschlags sowie höherer Kopf- und Brustbeschleunigungen nicht vermieden werden kann.However, such an embodiment has the peculiarity that the Belt tongues of the shoulder straps at least by the width of the end of the Crotch straps arranged loops must be longer than it for locking the shoulder straps with the buckle would be required. Such a long time Belt tongues are therefore in the usually curved sitting posture Drivers in racing vehicles, especially formula racing vehicles, extremely uncomfortable, because they can press on the lower costal arches. Furthermore is not a direct flow of force from the shoulder straps through the belt buckle guaranteed in the crotch straps. Rather, the belt buckle at one Load applied pulled up. The partial lengths of the lap belt can also be used relative to the crotch straps deflected over the D-shaped rings slide, which means that correct positioning of a driver is only partially guaranteed can be. By pulling up the belt buckle an extension of the shoulder straps with the result that the a driver is not optimally strapped in and on the other hand in the case of one Accident an increased forward displacement of the driver's body with the danger a stronger head impact and higher head and chest accelerations cannot be avoided.

Aus der DE-PS 1 142 762 geht eine Gurtanordnung für einen Flugzeugsitz hervor, und zwar insbesondere für einen Pilotensitz. Dies unter besonderer Beachtung des Sachverhalts, dass der Pilot diverse räumliche Lagen mit dem Flugzeug einnehmen kann sowie unter Beachtung des weiteren Sachverhalts, dass sich der Pilot von der Gurtanordnung dann trennen können muss, wenn er mit dem Pilotensitz aus dem Flugzeug heraus geschleudert wird und anschließend über weitere Gurte an einem Fallschirm hängend sicher zur Erde getragen werden soll. Ferner soll der Pilot das auf dem Boden stehende Flugzeug normal verlassen können. DE-PS 1 142 762 discloses a belt arrangement for an aircraft seat, specifically for a pilot's seat. This with special attention the fact that the pilot has various spatial positions with the Aircraft can take and taking into account the other facts, that the pilot must be able to separate from the belt arrangement if he is thrown out of the aircraft with the pilot's seat and then hanging securely to the ground via additional straps on a parachute to be worn. The pilot is also said to have the aircraft standing on the ground can leave normally.

Zu diesem Zweck weist die Gurtanordnung zwei Teillängen eines Beckengurts auf, die über Gurtzungen mit dem Gurtverschluss zusammengefügt und von diesem auch wieder getrennt werden können.For this purpose, the belt arrangement has two partial lengths of a lap belt on, which are joined together by belt tongues with the belt fastener and by this can also be separated again.

Die den Gurtzungen abgewandten Enden der Teillängen sind über weitere Gurtzungen durch vertikale Schlitze von an dem Pilotensitz befestigten Konsolen gesteckt. Auf der Rückseite dieser Konsolen werden Bolzen durch Bohrungen in den Gurtzungen geführt, so dass die Gurtzungen an den Konsolen festgelegt sind. Die Bolzen können manuell oder automatisch von den Gurtzungen getrennt werden, wenn der Pilotensitz mit dem Piloten aus dem Flugzeug katapultiert wird.The ends of the partial lengths facing away from the belt tongues are wider Belt tongues through vertical slots of brackets attached to the pilot's seat plugged. On the back of these brackets are bolts through holes guided in the belt tongues so that the belt tongues are fixed to the brackets are. The bolts can be removed manually or automatically from the belt tongues be separated if the pilot's seat catapults the pilot out of the aircraft becomes.

Über die Gurtzungen sind Schlaufen geschoben, welche endseitige Bestandteile von Teillängen eines insgesamt Y-förmigen Schrittgurts bilden. Die über die Konsolen umgelenkten Teillängen werden zwischen dem Gesäß des Piloten und der Oberseite des Pilotensitzes zu einem sich parallel zur Vorderseite des Pilotensitzes in einer Aussparung erstreckenden runden Führungselement geleitet, von dem aus sich nur noch ein Schaftteil zwischen den Schenkeln des Piloten schräg rückwärts zum Gurtverschluss erstreckt. In der Aussparung liegt auch ein Handhebel zum Auslösen des Schleudermechanismusses.Loops are pushed over the belt tongues, which end components of partial lengths of an overall Y-shaped crotch strap. The above The console-deflected partial lengths are between the pilot's buttocks and the top of the pilot's seat parallel to the front of the pilot seat in a recess extending round guide element passed, from which there is only a shaft part between the legs of the Pilot extends diagonally backwards to the belt buckle. In the recess also a hand lever to trigger the spinning mechanism.

Bei der Ausführungsform der Figur 4 ist das Schaftteil über eine Gurtzunge direkt mit dem Gurtverschluss koppelbar.In the embodiment of FIG. 4, the shaft part is direct via a belt tongue can be coupled with the belt buckle.

Bei der Ausführungsform der Figuren 2 und 3 sind an dem kurz vor dem Gurtverschluss liegenden Ende des Schaftteils zwei Schlaufen in V-förmiger Konfiguration vorgesehen, welche über die Enden der Teillängen des Beckengurts geschoben werden. Danach können die Gurtzungen mit dem Gurtverschluss gekoppelt werden.In the embodiment of Figures 2 and 3 are shortly before the belt buckle lying end of the shaft part two loops in a V-shaped configuration provided which over the ends of the partial lengths of the lap belt be pushed. Then the belt tongues can be closed with the belt buckle be coupled.

Der Aufbau der bekannten Gurtanordnung ist mithin den Anforderungen eines Piloten angepasst, der einerseits bei allen Flugzeuglagen und Bewegungen einwandfrei auf dem Pilotensitz gehalten werden soll, andererseits jedoch sich ohne weiteres vom Pilotensitz trennen kann, wenn er das Flugzeug normal verlässt bzw. wenn er sich in einem Notfall in der Luft nach dem Herauskatapultieren des Pilotensitzes aus dem Flugzeug vom Pilotensitz trennen muss.The structure of the known belt arrangement is therefore the requirements of a Pilots adapted, on the one hand, for all aircraft positions and movements should be held properly in the pilot's seat, but on the other hand can easily disconnect from the pilot's seat if he leaves the plane normally or in the event of an emergency in the air after being catapulted out of the pilot's seat from the aircraft must separate from the pilot's seat.

Verlässt der Pilot normal das am Boden stehende Flugzeug, so braucht er lediglich den Gurtverschluss zu öffnen, so dass die Schultergurte, die Teillängen des Beckengurts und der Schrittgurt vom Körper des Piloten abfallen.If the pilot normally leaves the aircraft standing on the ground, all he needs is open the buckle so that the shoulder straps, the partial lengths the lap belt and crotch belt fall off the pilot’s body.

Im Notfall, das heißt beim Herauskatapultieren des Pilotensitzes aus dem Flugzeug werden die Bolzen manuell oder automatisch von den Gurtzungen der Teillängen des Beckengurts getrennt, so dass die Widerlager für die Teillängen des Beckengurts und für die Teillängen des Schrittgurts entfallen und der Pilot sich ohne weiteres vom Pilotensitz trennen kann.In an emergency, that is when the pilot's seat is catapulted out of the aircraft the bolts are removed from the belt tongues manually or automatically Partial lengths of the lap belt separated, so that the abutment for the partial lengths of the lap belt and for the partial lengths of the crotch belt and the pilot can easily separate from the pilot's seat.

Während der diversen Flugzeugbewegungen in der Luft werden im wesentlichen solche Beschleunigungen auf den Pilotensitz und damit auch auf den Piloten ausgeübt, die den Piloten auf den Pilotensitz drücken. Das heißt mit anderen Worten ausgedrückt, dass bei diesen Flugzeugbewegungen keine nennenswerten nach vorne gerichteten Relativbewegungen des Piloten zum Pilotensitz erfolgen. Aus diesem Grunde ist nur ein einziger Schrittgurt vorgesehen, welcher gemäß der Ausführungsform der Figuren 2 und 3 erst kurz vor dem Gurtverschluss in zwei Schlaufen übergeht, welche die verschlussnahen Enden der Teillängen des Beckengurts umgreifen. Dabei ist es von Bedeutung, dass die Schlaufen zum Schaft des Schrittgurts - in Richtung zum Gurtverschluss gesehen - unter einem Winkel α angeordnet sind, der größer als 180° ist.During the various aircraft movements in the air are essentially such accelerations on the pilot's seat and thus also on the Pilots exercised that push the pilot into the pilot's seat. That means with in other words, none of these aircraft movements significant forward movements of the pilot towards the Pilot seat take place. For this reason, only a single crotch strap is provided, which according to the embodiment of Figures 2 and 3 just before the belt buckle merges into two loops that close the buckle Grasp the ends of the partial lengths of the lap belt. It is important that the loops to the crotch shaft - towards the buckle seen - are arranged at an angle α, which is greater than 180 ° is.

Ferner ist zu erkennen, und zwar insbesondere anhand der Figuren 2, 3 und 4, dass der Schaft des Schrittgurts flächig zwischen den Schenkeln des Piloten nach oben und schräg rückwärts zum Gurtverschluss geführt wird.It can also be seen, in particular with reference to FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, that the shaft of the crotch is flat between the pilot's thighs is led upwards and diagonally backwards to the belt buckle.

Der Erfindung liegt - ausgehend vom Stand der Technik - die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Hosenträgergurt für Rennfahrzeuge zu schaffen, bei welchem die geschilderten Nachteile der bekannten Ausführungsformen vermieden werden.Starting from the prior art, the invention is based on the object to create a harness for racing cars, in which the described disadvantages of the known embodiments can be avoided.

Diese Aufgabe wird nach der Erfindung mit den Merkmalen im kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is according to the invention with the features in the characterizing Part of claim 1 solved.

Demgemäß werden die Schrittgurte nunmehr direkt durch die Teillängen der Beckengurte gehalten. Dazu sind die den Teillängen der Beckengurte benachbarten Enden der Schrittgurte mit Schlaufen versehen, welche vor dem Einführen der Gurtzungen an den Teillängen über die Gurtzungen geschoben werden. Anschließend können die Gurtzungen der Teillängen in die entsprechenden Aufnahmen im Gurtverschluss eingesteckt und dort verrastet werden.Accordingly, the crotch straps are now directly through the partial lengths of the Lap belts held. In addition, those are adjacent to the partial lengths of the lap belts Provide ends of the crotch straps with loops, which before insertion of the belt tongues are pushed over the belt tongues at the partial lengths. The belt tongues of the partial lengths can then be adjusted to the appropriate length Recordings are inserted in the belt buckle and locked there.

Ein Vorteil dieser Anordnung ist der, dass die Gurtzungen der Schultergurte nicht mehr verlängert werden müssen und demzufolge auch keine Unbequemlichkeiten mehr bei einem Fahrer eines Formelfahrzeugs hervorrufen. Auch ist der direkte Kraftfluss von den Schultergurten über den Gurtverschluss und die Gurtzungen der Teillängen des Beckengurts in die Schrittgurte gewährleistet. Der Fahrer kann einwandfrei an seinem Sitz fixiert werden, so dass auch im Falle eines Unfalls eine unzulässige Beschleunigung des Kopfs und der Brust nicht eintreten kann. Weiterhin können die Schrittgurte einwandfrei entlang der Oberschenkel geführt werden, so dass auch die Gefahr von Genitalverletzungen ausgeschlossen werden kann. Eine Beeinträchtigung der Funktion des Gurtverschlusses, insbesondere nach einem Unfall, ist im Prinzip ausgeschlossen.An advantage of this arrangement is that the belt tongues of the shoulder straps no longer need to be extended and therefore no inconveniences cause more to a driver of a formula vehicle. Is too the direct flow of force from the shoulder straps via the belt buckle and the Belt tongues of the partial lengths of the lap belt guaranteed in the crotch straps. The driver can be securely attached to his seat, so that even in the Accidental acceleration of the head and chest in the event of an accident cannot occur. Furthermore, the crotch straps can be properly along the Thighs, so there is also a risk of genital injury can be excluded. An impairment of the function of the Belt buckle, especially after an accident, is excluded in principle.

Wesentlich an der Erfindung ist ferner, dass die Gurtzungen der Teillängen des Beckengurts lagefixiert in den Gurtverschluss einsteckbar sind. Hiermit wird vermieden, dass sich die Gurtzungen in Umfangsrichtung, das heißt parallel zur Körperoberfläche, relativ zum Gurtverschluss verdrehen können. Diese Maßnahme der Lagefixierung der Gurtzungen erlaubt die direkte Kraftdurchleitung von den Schultergurten in die Schrittgurte.It is also essential to the invention that the belt tongues of the partial lengths of the Lap belts are fixed in place in the belt buckle. Hereby avoided that the belt tongues in the circumferential direction, that is parallel to Body surface, can twist relative to the belt buckle. This measure the position fixing of the belt tongues allows direct power transmission from the shoulder straps to the crotch straps.

Die Gurtzungen der Teillängen des Beckengurts weisen eine dreieckförmige Konfiguration auf und die Aufnahmen im Gurtverschluss sind dieser Konfiguration angepasst. Da sich während eines Unfalls Hebeleffekte durch den Versatz der Krafteinleitung durch die Schultergurte und der Kraftableitung durch die Schrittgurte ergeben, ist der Gurtverschluss zusammen mit den Gurtzungen der Teillängen der Beckengurte so gestaltet, dass die Aufnahmen im Gurtverschluss die auftretenden Hebelkräfte einwandfrei aufnehmen können.The belt tongues of the partial lengths of the lap belt have a triangular shape Configuration on and the recordings in the belt buckle are this configuration customized. Because during an accident there are leverage effects due to the offset force transmission through the shoulder straps and force transmission through the Crotch straps result, the belt buckle together with the belt tongues is the Part lengths of the lap belts designed so that the receptacles in the belt buckle can leverage the occurring leverage.

Die Lage der Schlaufen der Schrittgurte auf den Gurtzungen der Teillängen der Beckengurte wird dadurch gesichert, dass die Gurtzungen zwischen den freien Rastenden, die in den Gurtverschluss eingeführt werden, und den Befestigungen der Teillängen gestuft ausgebildet sind. Ein unzulässiges Verrutschen der Schlaufen in Richtung zum Gurtverschluss wird dadurch vermieden.The position of the loops of the crotch straps on the belt tongues of the partial lengths of the Lap belts are secured by the belt tongues between the free Snap ends that are inserted into the belt buckle and the fasteners of the partial lengths are graduated. An inadmissible slipping of the This avoids loops in the direction of the belt buckle.

Bei auf die Gurtzungen der Teillängen der Beckengurte aufgeschobenen Schlaufen der Schrittgurte besteht bislangdie Gefahr, dass die Gurtzungen sich nach unten verdrehen und damit die Schlaufen herunterrutschen oder die Rastenden nicht oder nur unter erschwerten Bedingungen in den Gurtverschluss eingeführt und verriegelt werden können. Dieser Nachteil wird jetzt dadurch verhindert, dass die Gurtzungen so gestaltet werden, dass sie gut und lagestabil ergriffen werden können und zusätzlich durch entsprechende Formgebung die Schlaufen auf den Zungen gehalten werden. Dies ist vornehmlich dadurch erreichbar, dass sich die Gurtzungen verschlussabgewandt verjüngen. Dies hat auch den Vorteil, dass im Belastungsfalle die Gurtschlaufen tendenziell vom Gurtverschluss weg gezogen werden und nicht mit dem Gurtverschluss in Interaktion treten.When pushed onto the belt tongues of the partial lengths of the lap belts Loops of the crotch straps have so far been a risk that the belt tongues twist down and the loops will slide down or the latching ends not or only under difficult conditions in the belt buckle can be inserted and locked. This disadvantage is now being overcome prevents the belt tongues from being designed so that they are good and stable can be taken and additionally by appropriate shaping the loops are kept on the tongues. This is primarily because of this achievable that the belt tongues taper away from the fastener. this has also the advantage that the belt loops tend to move from the Belt buckle can be pulled away and not interacting with the belt buckle to step.

Bei einem Unfall mit einem Rennwagen wird von erheblichen longitudinalen Verzögerungen ausgegangen, während derer der Fahrer nach vorn in die Gurte rutscht. Dadurch werden der Beckengurt, die Schultergurte und indirekt dadurch auch die Schrittgurte belastet. Aus diesem Grunde besteht der Wunsch nach flach auf den Oberschenkeln liegenden 2-bändrigen, separierten Schrittgurten, um diese zum Schutz der Genitalien in die Leisten wandern zu lassen. In an accident with a racing car it becomes of considerable longitudinal Delays ran out during which the driver strapped forward into the belts slips. This causes the lap belt, the shoulder straps and indirectly through it the crotch straps are also strained. For this reason there is a desire after 2-volume, separate crotch straps lying flat on the thighs, to allow them to go into the groin to protect the genitals.

Weiterhin sind solche Schrittgurte mindestens einer vom Brustkorb durch die Leiste verlaufenden Tangentialen folgend unterhalb des Fahrers oder eventuell weiter nach hinten laufend zu befestigen.Furthermore, such crotch straps are at least one from the chest through the Following the tangential line below the driver or possibly continue to fasten to the rear.

Aus diesem Grunde sind die erfindungsgemäßen Schrittgurte so gestaltet, dass, ausgehend von einer gedachten Mittellinie, die senkrecht durch den Verschluss läuft, die Schlaufen unter einem Winkel von < 180° mit den Schrittgurten verbunden sind. Durch diese Anordnung ergibt sich, dass die Schrittgurte flach auf den Oberschenkeln liegen. Weiterhin sollen diese nicht an einer quer zur Fahrtrichtung angebrachten Verankerung befestigt werden, sondern unter einem zu definierenden Abstand an zwei individuellen, longitudinal zum Fahrzeug ausgerichteten Verankerungen. Dadurch wird der flache Schrittgurtverlauf nochmals unterstützt.For this reason, the crotch straps according to the invention are designed that, starting from an imaginary center line that is perpendicular through the closure runs, the loops at an angle of <180 ° with the crotch straps are connected. This arrangement means that the crotch straps lie flat on the thighs. Furthermore, these should not be on a cross anchoring attached to the direction of travel, but under a distance to be defined at two individual, longitudinal to the vehicle aligned anchors. This will make the crotch flat supported again.

Im Rennwagen ist ein stramm angezogener Gurt von entscheidender Bedeutung für seine Rückhaltefunktion. Dies gilt auch für die Schrittgurte. Die erfindungsgemäßen Beckengurtzungen sind daher in ihren Teillängen so ausgebildet, dass die Schlaufen vom Verschluss weg rutschend sich auf den Zungen fangen, selbst wenn alle Gurtteile unter einer Vorspannung stehen.In the racing car, a tightly tightened belt is crucial for its restraint function. This also applies to the crotch straps. The invention The lap belt tongues are therefore designed in their partial lengths that the loops slipping away from the clasp on the tongues catch even if all parts of the belt are under tension.

Gerade bei Vorspannung der Schrittgurte besteht die Gefahr, dass sich die Beckengurtzungen beim Versuch sie mit den Schrittgurten in den Verschluss einzustecken, nach unten wegdrehen und damit die Schlaufen von den Beckengurtzungen herunterrutschen. Aus diesem Grund sind die Beckengurtzungen in den Enden der Teillängen eingenäht, so dass sie sich nicht oder nur unter erhöhtem Kraftaufwand wegdrehen können.Especially when the crotch straps are pretensioned, there is a risk that the lap belt tongues will when trying to insert them into the fastener with the crotch straps, turn down and with it the loops from the lap belt tongues slide down. For this reason, the lap belt tongues are in sewn the ends of the partial lengths so that they do not or only with increased Can turn away effort.

Mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 2 kann das Einschieben der Rastenden der Gurtzungen in den Gurtverschluss erheblich erleichtert werden.With the features of claim 2, the insertion of the locking ends the belt tongues in the belt buckle are made considerably easier.

Die Erfindung ist nachfolgend anhand eines in den Zeichnungen dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

Mit 1 ist in der Figur 1 ein Hosenträgergurt bezeichnet, der für einen Fahrer eines Rennfahrzeugs (Formelfahrzeugs) bestimmt ist.1 in FIG. 1 denotes a harness belt, which for a driver Racing vehicle (formula vehicle) is determined.

Dieser Hosenträgergurt 1 umfasst zwei Schultergurte 2, einen zweigeteilten Beckengurt 3 sowie zwei Schrittgurte 4, von denen die Schultergurte 2 und die Teillängen 5 des Beckengurts 3 in einem zentral vor dem Körper 6 des Fahrzeuginsassen liegenden Gurtverschluss 7 zusammengeführt sind. Dazu weisen die Schultergurte 2 Gurtzungen 8 auf.This harness belt 1 comprises two shoulder straps 2, one in two Lap belt 3 and two crotch straps 4, of which the shoulder straps 2 and the Part lengths 5 of the lap belt 3 in a centrally in front of the body 6 of the vehicle occupant lying belt buckle 7 are brought together. Point to this the shoulder straps 2 belt tongues 8.

Die Teillängen 5 des Beckengurts 3 besitzen Gurtzungen 9 mit dreieckförmig konfigurierten Rastenden 10, welche in an diese Konfiguration angepasste Aufnahmen 11 im Gurtverschluss 7 einführbar sind. Aufgrund dieser Gestaltung ist eine Relativbewegung der Gurtzungen 9 der Teillängen 5 in Umfangsrichtung gemäß dem Doppelpfeil 12 relativ zum Gurtverschluss 7 ausgeschlossen.The partial lengths 5 of the lap belt 3 have belt tongues 9 with a triangular shape configured detent ends 10, which are adapted to this configuration Recordings 11 can be inserted in the belt buckle 7. Because of this design is a relative movement of the belt tongues 9 of the partial lengths 5 in the circumferential direction excluded according to the double arrow 12 relative to the belt buckle 7.

Die Gurtzungen 9 der Teillängen 5 sind im Bereich 13 zwischen den Rastenden 10 und den Befestigungen 14 der Gurtzungen 9 an den Teillängen 5 in Richtung auf die Befestigungen 14 hin sich verschlankend ausgebildet. Aufgrund dieser Verschlankung verringert sich die Gefahr, dass endseitige Schlaufen 15 der Schrittgurte 4 von den Gurtzungen 9 während des Einsteckvorgangs ganz oder teilweise herunterrutschen.The belt tongues 9 of the partial lengths 5 are in the area 13 between the latching ends 10 and the fastenings 14 of the belt tongues 9 in the direction of the partial lengths 5 slimmer towards the fasteners 14. by virtue of this slimming down reduces the risk that end loops 15 the crotch straps 4 of the belt tongues 9 completely during the insertion process or partially slide down.

Die Gurtzungen 9 der Teillängen 5 sind im Bereich der Befestigung 14 durch Verlängerungen 16 so gestaltet, dass die Gurtzungen 9 in die Enden 17 der Teillängen 5 des Beckengurts 3 weitgehend kipp- und verdrehgesichert eingenäht sind. The belt tongues 9 of the partial lengths 5 are in the area of the fastening 14 Extensions 16 designed so that the belt tongues 9 in the ends 17 of the Partial lengths 5 of the lap belt 3 sewn to a large extent so as to prevent them from tilting and rotating are.

Die Gurtzungen 9 der Teillängen 5 sind im Bereich der Befestigungen 14 mit Griffmulden 18 versehen, um das Einschieben der Rastenden 10 in den Gurtverschluss 7 zu erleichtern.The belt tongues 9 of the partial lengths 5 are in the area of the fastenings 14 Grip recesses 18 are provided to insert the latching ends 10 into the belt buckle 7 to facilitate.

Ferner sind die Gurtzungen 9 zur Gewichtsreduzierung mit Durchbrüchen 19 ausgebildet, wobei die Durchbrüche 19 im Bereich der Befestigungen 14 in idealer Weise dem Profil der maximalen Biegekräfte, die in den Befestigungen 14 erwartet werden, angepasst sind.Furthermore, the belt tongues 9 are provided with openings 19 for reducing weight formed, the openings 19 in the area of the fasteners 14 in an ideal Way the profile of the maximum bending forces in the fasteners 14th are expected to be adjusted.
