The invention relates, among other things, to a gas generator for generating a driving gas for a vehicle safety device, wherein the gas generator comprises: an ignition device; fuel which, after ignition using the ignition device, generates the driving gas; an at least partially tubular carrier element, in the tube interior of which a combustion chamber for the fuel is located; an injection-moulded body which fixes the ignition device in the connection hole and is located with an inner portion inside the carrier element and with an outer portion outside the carrier element; a feed pipe which is connected to a pipe end of the carrier element and which conveys the driving gas out of the combustion chamber; and a lid sealing the combustion chamber.

Gas generator

Tensioner drive for a safety belt device that includes a gas generator, a driving wheel, and a feed tube. The tube connects the gas generator and the driving wheel. There is at least one thrust body in the feed tube. The thrust body is accelerated after triggering of the gas generator and drives the driving wheel. There is a fixing element between the thrust body and the gas generator that is supported on the inner wall of the feed tube.

Tensioner drive for a safety belt system

A tensioning drive for a safely belt device. The tensioning drive includes a gas generator, a drive wheel and a supply pipe which connects the gas generator and the drive wheel. A plurality of pushing members is included in the supply pipe. The pushing members are accelerated after the gas generator has been activated. The pushing members drive the drive wheel, and at least one of the pushing members completely or at least partially seals the supply pipe. The sealing action of the at least one sealing pushing member is ended or reduced after a predetermined distance has been travelled.

Tensioning drive for a safety belt device

The invention relates inter alia to a gas generator () for generating a driving gas for a vehicle safety device, wherein the gas generator has an ignition device () and propellant () which generates gas after being ignited by the ignition device (). It is provided according to the invention that the gas generator () has a tube (), to one tube end () of which the ignition device () is fixed by means of a moulded-in or moulded-on injection-moulded body ().

The invention relates to a belt retractor for winding up and unwinding a safety belt, with at least one force transmission element which is held by a first part of the belt retractor and which can be connected to a second part of the belt retractor, the force transmission element being held in a recess of the first part in such a way that it can be pressed axially into the recess of the first part, with the result that the connection to the second part is broken.

Belt retractor

A seat belt retractor for a safety belt including a seat belt spindle for winding up and unwinding the safety belt and a tensioning drive. The seat belt spindle includes a gas generator, a drive wheel and a supply pipe which connects the gas generator and the drive wheel. A plurality of thrust members are present in the supply pipe which, after triggering the gas generator, are accelerated and indirectly or directly drive the drive wheel for winding up the safety belt. An inertia coupling is arranged between the drive wheel and the seat belt spindle. The inertia coupling comprises coupling elements which, during an acceleration of the drive wheel, pivot outward and are directly or indirectly coupled to the seat belt spindle.

Seat belt retractor

A belt force limiter which limits the belt force through the twisting of a torsion bar. The belt force limiter includes a flange, a reel for winding and unwinding the belt, as well as the torsion bar. Additionally, a shear pin or a deformable pin may be provided for locking the flange and the reel together, so that the relative turning of the flange and reel is prevented or impeded until the tensile force acting on the belt exceeds a preset level momentarily or over a preset period of time. Thus the force limitation is delayed or graduated. Furthermore, in a method for reducing the danger of injury to a vehicle's occupant by means of a restraining system the belt force is allowed to increase to an elevated level of force and then the belt force diminishes again before the belt force limitation begins.

Seat belt force limiter

A safety belt apparatus for a vehicle, having a belt reel, a belt buckle, a belt redirection apparatus mounted on the B-post of the vehicle. The apparatus also includes, a belt-force limiter with a torsion bar and a belt tensioner. In the event of an accident, the belt tensioner is triggered, and pretorsioning of the torsion bar is simultaneously effected. The pretorsion is preferably brought about by the forces that arise during belt tensioning. The pretorsion allows for the force limitation to start at an optimum force level with regard to the retention force and the protection of the occupant.

Safety belt apparatus

A drive for a belt tensioner for safety belts has a drive chamber formed between two plates. A drive band whose two ends are fastened to a drive shaft such that the drive band forms a loop which can be exposed to expanding gas discharged from a gas outlet such that the drive band winds off and drives the drive shaft. The drive band is fixed to the plates by a fixing apparatus at a position disposed between its ends.

Drive for a belt tensioner

The invention relates to a safety belt apparatus, in particular for motor vehicles, comprising a safety belt ( ) which is connected on the one hand via a belt lock ( ) to the vehicle body ( ) and on the other hand to a belt winder ( ) which is attached to the vehicle body ( ), and which has a belt roller ( ) which is rotatable about a transverse axis ( ) and onto which the belt ( ) is wound up to a greater or lesser extent, which is stressed by a spring mechanism ( ) in the belt roll-up direction and is connected to a belt tautener ( ) as well as to an unwind blocking apparatus ( ) which blocks the further drawing out of the belt in the attempt of a rapid belt drawing out and/or in accident caused accelerations at the latest after a limited further rotation of the belt roller ( ), with a coupling ( ) consisting of an input part ( ), an output part ( ) and coupling members ( ) which are active between them being placed between the belt tautener ( ) and the belt roller ( ), which coupling ( ) is normally open and closes at the beginning of the rotation of the belt tautener ( ) after a triggering in order that the belt roller ( ) can be abruptly driven in the wind-up direction by the belt tautener ( ). The invention consists in that the coupling ( ) can be automatically disengaged when the torque which acts on the belt roller ( ) in the wind-up direction exceeds the torque which is exerted by the belt tautener ( ).
