Reel mechanism for elimination of belt looseness of a safety belt system
First Claim
1. A reel mechanism for the elimination of the belt looseness of a safety belt system upon exceeding a predetermined vehicle deceleration, comprising a wind-up roller means, an ignitable propellant charge means for the initiation of a retracting movement of the wind-up roller means, the wind-up roller means having the propellant charge means arranged in an axial direction thereof characterized by:
- a retraction means for continuously effecting the biasing of the wind-up roller means in the belt retraction direction,a liquid medium disposed in front of the propellant charge means,ignition means for igniting the propellant charge means, anda rotor means coupled with the wind-up roller means,whereby, after the igniting of the propellant charge means by the ignition means, the liquid medium drives the rotor means to cause an elimination of the belt looseness.

Abstract
A reel mechanism for the elimination of the belt looseness of a safety belt system when exceeding a predetermined vehicle deceleration, whereby a preferably electrically ignitable propellant charge is provided for the initiation of the retraction movement, which is arranged in the axial direction of the wind-up roller; the propellant charge is thereby arranged concentrically in a hollow shaft of a belt roller that blocks automatically in case of danger, and accommodates a continuously effective retracting device as well as the wind-up roller; a liquid medium is disposed in front of the propellant charge which, after the ignition of the propellant charge, drives a rotor coupled at that instant with the wind-up roller by the then forming gases in the sense of an elimination of the belt looseness.
