Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A belt retractor has a frame ( 10 ), a belt spool ( 12 ) that is rotatably mounted in the frame ( 10 ), and a force limiter ( 22 ) that is adapted to reach a force limiting position. A guide-in mechanism ( 26 ) is provided which causes the force limiter ( 22 ) to reach the force limiting position as a function of the length of belt webbing withdrawn.
