Abstract

A lock deflection device for a motor vehicle for deflecting a seat belt comprises a lock tongue for insertion into a lock buckle and a first contact area connected to the lock tongue around which the seat belt can be laid to deflect the seat belt, so that the seat belt is divided into a shoulder segment and a pelvis segment, which go off in different directions from the first contact area, wherein the first contact area can be moved from an initial position, in which the seat belt can slide along on the deflection device, into a final position. According to the invention, a second contact area connected to the lock tongue is provided, which is arranged to contact the seat belt in case of a first contact area being moved out of the initial position, in order to restrain the seat belt from sliding along on the deflection device, wherein the first contact area is connected to the lock tongue through a movable area of the lock deflection device.
