An adjuster device for a deflector fitting of a vehicular seat belt system comprises a first cable (28) connected to a longitudinally adjustable vehicle seat and guided to the circumference of a first pulley (26) and a second cable (18) connected to the deflector fitting and guided to the circumference of a second pulley (24). The pulleys (24, 26) are tensioned one against the other by a spiral spring (36) and coupled to rotate with respect to each other so that overloading of all and any of the components of the adjuster device is avoided.

Adjuster device for a deflector fitting

An actuator for a buckle in a vehicle safety belt system is disclosed. A belt tightener engages on the buckle. In operation, the belt tightener moves the buckle towards the vehicle floor to tighten the webbing. An actuating member is arranged at a stationary location so that relative movement occurs between the buckle and the actuating member when the former is moved towards the vehicle bottom. A force transmitting connection permitting such relative movement is provided between the buckle and the actuating member. This connection can be embodied by a flexible cable or by a rack bar and a tooth member cooperating therewith.
