Definitions

• the invention relates to a deflecting element for a seat belt in motor vehicles, consisting of a one-piece metal body with a fastening eyelet and a belt guide slot provided with a rounded running surface, and of a cladding part consisting of plastic and held on the metal body, and of a gap width for the passage of the belt strap through the displacement body delimiting the belt guide slot.
• a deflection element with the aforementioned features is described in DE 202 05 570 Ul.
• a covering part is held on the metal body, which in DE 202 05 570 Ul described embodiment consists of two plastic side parts, which are each pushed from the side onto the metal body and are held together at their joint via plug connections formed there.
• the displacement body covering the region of the metal body that has the fastening eyelet is fixed on the metal body.
• the known deflection fitting has the disadvantage that the two individual parts required to form the trim part have to be produced and assembled separately, the assembly also being cumbersome because the plug connection between the individual parts of the trim part has to be threaded. This requires a precisely fitting production not only of the individual parts of the cladding part, but also of the metal body, so that the plug connection fits when the deflection fitting is installed.
• the invention is therefore based on the object of simplifying a deflection fitting with the features mentioned in its manufacture and assembly.
• the trim part is designed as a one-piece body with edge regions at least partially enclosing the metal body and can be fixed on the metal body by a prestress exerted on the metal body by the edge regions.
• the invention is therefore based on the concept of designing the trim part as a unitary component which is to be applied to it from a flat side of the metal body and which can be attached to the metal body in only one assembly step, the dimensions of the trim part being such that in the assembled state, its edge regions rest against the metal body with a prestress, thereby holding the trim part on the metal body.
• the mounting of the trim part can be improved in that clip mounts are formed on the trim part to fix the trim part on the metal body; it can be expedient here if at least some of the edge regions enclosing the metal body itself are designed as clip holders.
• the metal body is formed in a manner known per se from DE 202 05 570 Ul on its lower web, which forms the running surface for the webbing, with an outwardly open C-shaped cross section
• an embodiment of the invention provides, that the covering part has a groove for receiving the outer wall of the C-shaped cross section on its part enclosing the lower web of the metal body.
• the metal body on its upper web delimiting the belt guide slot towards the fastening eyelet has a multiple-angled course with a tab projecting centrally into the belt guide slot with an angle of approximately 45 degrees to the longitudinal axis of the
• Belt guide slot extending boundary edges and the displacement body has a shape-matching contour to cover the area of the metal body including the tab receiving the fastening eyelet; This is associated with the advantage that, compared to the design of the metal body known from the prior art, more meat is left between the boundary edges and the fastening eyelet, as a result of which the strength of the metal body is improved; the displacement part is designed accordingly.
• the displacement body has projections which protrude into the fastening eyelet of the metal body and form a receptacle for a fastening means.
• the displacement body in its upper region surrounding the fastening eyelet has noses protruding beyond the contour of the metal body as a limitation of the rotational path of the deflection element installed in the motor vehicle around the fastening means.
• the covering part has a division formed by a slot in its area comprising the fastening eye; this division makes it easier to bend open the panel when the panel is slipped over the metal body;
• the displacement body which is designed separately as in the prior art, is clipped to the metal body, for which purpose corresponding clip holders can be provided.
• the displacement body is in one piece with the covering part;
• the trim part is designed as a closed component and can preferably be fixed on the metal body by means of corresponding clip holders.
• the covering part including the displacement body is formed around the metal body in a spraying process, so that the one-piece construction of the displacement body and covering part is thereby realized.

• the metal body 10 of a deflection element for a seat belt in motor vehicles which essentially corresponds to that in the generic prior art according to DE 202 05 570 U1.
• the metal body 10 which is preferably made from sheet steel by cold forming, has a flat upper region 11 with a fastening eyelet 12 formed therein for the passage of a fastening means (not shown) for fastening the metal body 10 to a vehicle part.
• the metal body 10 widens by transition into a C-profile 15 with correspondingly spaced-apart walls 16 into an region in which a belt guide slot 13 is formed, the lower web 14 formed by the C-profile 15 of the metal body 10 has, in particular, a rounded running surface for the belt strap of the seat belt which is guided through the belt guide slot 13.
• the upper boundary of the belt guide slot 13 directed towards the fastening eyelet 12 is formed by a multiple-angled course with a tab 14 projecting centrally into the belt guide slot 13 with boundary edges 18 running at an angle of approximately 45 degrees to the longitudinal axis of the belt guide slot 13, with this configuration forming between the boundary edges and the fastening eyelet a larger material area is left, which improves the stability of the metal body 10.
• a uniform and one-piece covering part 19 can first be seen in a first embodiment, the contour of which is matched to the dimensions of the metal body 10 in such a way that it is fixed to the metal body 10 solely by an applied prestress.
• the covering part 19 has, in addition to a central opening 20 which recesses the belt guide slot 13 of the metal body 10 including the area of the metal body 10 forming the tab 17, quarter-circular boundaries 21 for partially enclosing the fastening eyelet 12 of the metal body 10, the boundaries being 21 through a slot 22 are divided, so that a corresponding flexibility of the trim part 19 is set.
• the covering part 19 has edge regions 25 that surround the outer contour of the metal body, furthermore in the region of its region covering or bordering the lower web 14 of the metal body 10, a groove 23 for receiving a wall 16 of the C-profile 15, so that a form-fitting mounting of the trim part 19 on the metal body 10 is realized in this area.
• the further holding of the trim part 19 on the metal body 10 is realized via the pretension exerted by the edge regions 25.
• the covering part 19 is not designed in its full cross-section on its side that is not visible in the installation situation, but with webs 24 formed by material cutouts.
• the one-piece trim part 19 shown in FIGS. 2 to 4 includes a displacement body 26 shown in FIGS. 5 to 7 and 8 to 10 in different exemplary embodiments, the function of which in detail State of the art is described.
