Abstract
A separating mechanism,is provided which includes a winding shaft,that is rotatably supported in a housing,. A separating net,can be wound on the winding shaft,and can be stretched in the space between the housing,of the separating mechanism,and the roof lining of a passenger car. Since the winding shaft,generates a greater torque that the user must counteract with increasing draw-off of the separating net,, a drive mechanism,is provided that provides that from a predetermined draw-out length onward the drive torque for the winding shaft,is switched to a reduced level. This switch-over is either brought about as a second, weaker drive spring,is activated, or as a second drive spring,is switched parallel to the drive spring,for the winding shaft,. The two auxiliary springs,operate, however, only over a limited turning range of the winding shaft,. After this range is exceeded, the full winding force of the main spring,becomes effective again in the wind-up process.
