Abstract
A protective device for vehicle occupants of a motor vehicle contains a restraining element and a connecting device for the restraining element in order to be able to connect the latter releasably to the motor vehicle and to be able to hold it in a use position. The connecting device contains for this purpose an upper and lower fastening device. In order, in particular, to optimize the operation of the protective device, the lower fastening device has, on the one hand, a locking device which locks the restraining element in the rest position, and, on the other hand, a clamping device which keeps the restraining element clamped—with respect to the upper fastening device—in the use position.
