Patent ID: 8230558

Claim:
A buckle device for a motor vehicle, comprising a locking tongue for inserting into a buckle and a deflecting body connected to the locking tongue, which is configured to subdivide a safety belt into a shoulder portion and a lap portion and to deflect said safety belt such that the two portions extend away from the deflecting body in different directions, wherein for the bearing of the safety belt against the deflecting body, the deflecting body has a bearing region, the safety belt being positioned around the bearing region, wherein the bearing region has a first and a second bearing surface, wherein the first bearing surface projects beyond the second bearing surface, along a normal of the second bearing surface, so that the safety belt with a force acting on the shoulder portion which is lower than the predeterminable threshold force, only bears against the first bearing surface, and in that the safety belt with a force acting on the shoulder portion which exceeds said threshold force, is deformed such that it bears against the second bearing surface, and wherein at least one projection projecting from the deflecting body is provided with a surface remote from the deflecting body which forms the first bearing surface, wherein the projection surrounds the deflecting body, wherein the second bearing surface of the deflecting body is structured thereby resulting in the second bearing surface has a higher friction coefficient than the first bearing surface.
