ABSTRACT:
An adjustment device for a deflection fitting of a vehicle safety belt system comprises a vehicle-fixed rail having a base provided with detent means and at least one front part extending opposite the base. It further comprises a sliding carriage displaceable in the rail, the sliding carriage being provided for an attachment of the deflection fitting. It is further provided a manually releasable detent mechanism able to cooperate with the detent means and able to arrest the sliding carriage in the rail. The detent means each have at least one projecting detent tooth. The adjustment device still further comprises a locking element which is functionally independent of the detent mechanism and is mounted on the sliding carriage in such a manner that it is movable, by means of an acceleration acting on the sliding carriage in a specific direction, from a position of rest in which it does not engage on the rail, into a locking position in which it engages on the rail and secures the sliding carriage against a further movement in the specific direction. The locking element has a contact surface facing the base, a support surface facing the front part, and a central region. The contact surface, when the aid locking element is in the locking position, is situated at least partially in front of the support surface when viewed in the specific direction. The central region of the locking element is able to abut at one of the detent teeth.
