Abstract
A belt retractor () includes a frame (), a belt spool () being rotatably supported in the frame (), a locking disc () being rotatably mounted on the belt spool (), a load limiting element () being effective between the belt spool () and the locking disc (), a holding element () being able to hold the locking disc () relative to the belt spool () so as to be locked against relative rotation, and a drive element () for the belt spool (), the drive element () being rotatable to a limited extent relative to the belt spool () between an initial position in which the drive element () ensures that the holding element () holds the locking disc () relative to the belt spool () so as to be locked against relative rotation, and a release position in which the drive element () ensures that the holding element () frees the locking disc ().
