Abstract
A belt tightener of a seat belt in a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, is provided with a retracting spring in order to return the belt. A counterspring, which can be adjusted by a motor, is connected in parallel with the retracting spring in order to be able to reduce the tensile force of the belt for comfort considerations. The motor can also be connected in drive terms to the belt via a coupling arrangement to give reversible belt tightening.
