Abstract
A seat belt retractor () with a vehicle-sensitive, inertia sensor (), and a blocking device to block belt extraction movement of a belt shaft () controllable by an inertia sensor (). The inertia sensor () has a sensor housing () with a gearing () mounted to swivel, blocking element () coupled on the belt shaft (), engages in the gearing () in a first position to fix the sensor housing () and swivels during a belt retraction movement from a first position into a second position where it does not engage in the gearing (). A guide is provided in the form of a longitudinal recess () with a variable width. The blocking element () engages with a protrusion () in the recess () and during the rotation of the belt shaft () to cause relative movement in the longitudinal direction of the recess ().
