Abstract
A belt tensioner of a vehicle occupant restraint system, especially a belt buckle tensioner, comprises a coupling member () to the vehicle seat belt, a drive unit (), a flexible tension transmitting means () and a deflector (). The flexible tension transmitting means () is connected at least indirectly to the coupling member () and is moved via the drive unit () in the event of tensioning. The deflector () deflects the tension transmitting means () in the direction of the coupling member (). The tension transmitting means () is moved along the deflector () in the event of tensioning. According to the invention, the drive unit () is coupled in terms of drive to the deflector () such that the drive unit () moves the deflector () upon activation and thus displaces the coupling member () in the tensioning direction (R).
