Abstract
A safety belt retractor is associated with a belt retightener which comprises a coupling mechanism provided between a pulley and the belt spool of the retractor. After a tightening operation the belt spool is disengaged from the pulley. The coupling mechanism consists of a clamping roller mechanism and a coupling pawl functionally in series therewith to combine the fast and reliable response of the clamping roller mechanism with the easy releasability of the coupling pawl.
