Abstract:
1. A vehicle safety belt having a length extending in a longitudinal direction and a width extending in a transverse direction with the length substantially greater than the width, the vehicle safety belt configured for attachment with a vehicle safety system such that the longitudinal direction corresponds to a load direction of the belt, the vehicle safety belt comprising: a fabric structure having warp threads and weft threads, the warp threads extending in the longitudinal direction corresponding to the load direction of the vehicle safety belt and the weft threads extending in the transverse direction thereto; the vehicle safety belt having a load-free state where the warp threads are looped around the weft threads and the weft threads extend substantially in a straight line with respect thereto, and wherein at least in one length-wise section of the vehicle safety belt the weft threads are formed in such a manner as to be able to extend in length in comparison to the warp threads; and wherein the ability of the weft threads to extend in length is set such that in the event that a load is applied in the longitudinal direction, the warp threads are stretched substantially in a straight line from their structure looped around the weft threads and the weft threads from their substantially straight-line structure are looped around the warp threads and said warp threads are displaced laterally and in this case increase the width dimension of the vehicle safety belt.
