Reference information:
Results for "Gurtbandverlauf" in Deutsch-Englisch. The original search was "Gurtbandverlauf" in Englisch-Deutsch.
Bei dem Sicherheitsgurtsystem ist der Gurtbandverlauf umgedreht, d. h. das Gurtschloß (10) befindet sich nicht wie in gewohnter Weise in der Sitzmitte, sondern an der Sitzaußen- seite. In the safety-belt system the routing of the belt is reversed, i.e. the belt-locking mechanism (10) is not situated, as is customary, in the centre of the seat, but at the outside of the seat.
Der durch diese Anordnung mögliche Gurtbandverlauf erlaubt sowohl eine bessere Bed- ienung des Gurtbandes als auch einen größeren Gestaltungsspielraum bei der Festlegung der Gurtgeometrie und der Ausgestaltung des Sitzes. The routing of the belt which is possible with this arrangement permits both improved operation of the belt and also a relatively large room for manoeuvre with respect to the design in the belt geometry and the design of the seat.
