Abstract
A force limiter comprises a stretch element which is inserted into the force flow path and which under tensile load by increasing its length deforms in force-limiting manner and the longitudinal ends of which are bridged by a stretch-limiting element with insertion of a clearance corresponding to the intended extension of the stretch element. By the stretch-limiting element the failure load of the force limiter is increased without influencing the tensile stress/elongation characteristic within the intended action range.
