Abstract
A guide device for a safety belt of a safety belt system for a motor vehicle. A delivery roll is provided from which and onto which the safety belt is wound in a region of the downstream deflector fitting, whereby the guide device, as viewed in a pull out or withdrawal direction of the safety belt, is upstream of a deflector crosspiece of the deflector fitting and is fastened together with the deflector fitting. A guide slot is provided that is narrower than a doubled thickness of the safety belt with a free end of the guide device presenting a runner for the safety belt which runner defines the guide slot with the free end of the guide device. The safety belt passes through the guide slot without deflection and the guide slot or through passage through which the safety belt extends is shifted, with reference to a longitudinal center axis of the deflector crosspiece, by an amount of a radius of curvature of the safety belt that is attainable as a function of a stiffness of the safety belt and retraction force in a wind-up direction in a region of deflection of the safety belt at the deflection crosspiece.
