Lock for fitting to a motor vehicle safety belt and method for operating it uses accident impact sensors to pass signals to a controller via an analysing processor for transmitting these signals to locks on the vehicle's safety belts.

摘要

A motor vehicle (1) has slowing-down sensors (2) to identify a sudden impact like an accident. These sensors pass signals (3) to a processor (4) for analysis comparing them with an internal threshold value. If this is exceeded, airbags are released. A further connector (6) in the processor sends signals to a controller (7) that amplifies these signals and transmits them to locks (8) on the vehicle's safety belts (9).
