A belt retractor () includes a frame () provided with locking teeth (). A belt reel () is rotatably supported in the frame () and provided on at least one axial end with ratchet teeth () adapted to engage in the locking teeth (), when the belt reel () is shifted from a home position into a locked position. A locking bearing () interacts with the belt reel () on the side where the ratchet teeth () are arranged and keeps the belt reel in the home position up to a first load threshold. A load bearing () interacts with the belt reel on the opposite side and keeps the latter in the home position up to a second load threshold. The first load threshold is lower than the second load threshold.

Belt retractor, and method for locking 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 ().
