Safety catch for car seat back - has holes under hook for plastic deformation during accident to grip catch bolt tightly

摘要

The safety catch for the tipping seat back has the hook (18) provided with one or mor weight reducing holes (40) near the support face of the claw. This part of the claw suffers plastic deformation under large crash forces and prevents damage to the claw mounting. The plastic deformation ensures that the claw grips the safety catch bolt tightly and does not slip off. the impact force is dampened considerably so that a relatively light and effective safety catch can be used.
