An inertia sensor (), in particular provided on a belt retractor (), includes at least two components which are reversibly movable relative to each other and each of which includes at least one contact surface () on which the components are in contact with each other, wherein at least one of the contact surfaces () is coated with graphite powder ().

Inertia sensor and method for reducing the friction between two components of an inertia sensor

A looking mechanism () for a bolt retractor () including an inertia element () which is supported to be rotatable between a home position and a locked position in a bearing (), the bearing () being a conical bearing.

Locking mechanism for a belt retractor

An assembly for a belt retractor includes a vehicle-sensitive sensor and a holding fixture () for the sensor. The sensor and the holding fixture () have geometric designs that interact and are adjusted to each other so that the sensor can be mounted at various spatial orientations in the holding fixture (). In a belt retractor for a vehicle seat belt comprising such assembly the holding fixture () is coupled with the sensor at a fixed position to the frame of the belt retractor in which a belt reel of the belt retractor is rotatably supported.

Assembly for a belt retractor

A belt retractor () for a vehicle seat belt, includes a frame () provided with a plurality of blocking teeth (), a belt reel () being rotatably supported in the frame () and a blocking tooth system () adapted to be engaged with the blocking teeth (). A control lever () pivoted on the frame () and accommodates the belt reel (). A sensor () actuates when a predetermined vehicle deceleration is exceeded. A control tooth system () with which the sensor () is adapted to interact is provided at the belt reel ().
