Aus einer Patentanmeldung:

The present invention relates to a cargo retention device for use within a vehicle passenger compartment, wherein the device is operable for securing cargo with respect to a vehicle seat and is stowable behind the ***bite line*** of the vehicle seat when the device is not in use.

...

Accordingly, an improved cargo retention apparatus is provided for use within a passenger vehicle, the device comprising a cargo retainer and a vehicle seat assembly having a lower seat, an upper back, and a lower frame, wherein the cargo retainer is operatively connected to the lower frame through a bite line defined by the lower seat and upper back.

In one aspect of the invention, the cargo retainer is retractable through the bite line using a retracting device for stowage of the retainer.

In another aspect of the invention, the cargo retainer comprises strap(s) or a mat configured to connect the retainer to the lower seat or to a top por-tion of the upper back by means of an open-ended hook and anchor, a snap-hook and anchor, or snaps.

In another aspect of the invention, a method is provided for securing cargo to a vehicle seat assembly having a lower seat and an upper back which form or define a bite line therebetween. The method includes providing a cargo retainer on one side of the bite line that is sufficiently extractable through the bite line toward the cargo to secure the cargo with respect to the lower seat or upper back, and sufficiently retractable through the bite line to stow the cargo retainer on the other side of the bite line.

Was soll das für eine Linie sein???

Explanation:
This site says:

I am not sure if I understand your question exactly, but if you are wanting to connect a "belt" or "straps" that extend from the base area of your child seat to the "bite-line" (area between the cushion and back) of your car seat, (They should be "hooks" or "push into place" latches that are designed to attach to a "striker" --> looks like your hood striker ...

Which makes sense, if the car seat looks like jaws!

Best I can do for the German, though.
