Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a device that after the belt slack present in a belt system has been removed by a tightening system, with the aid of a compressed gas stored in a tank generates a force via a piston/cylinder system in the belt system, which force has the necessary level in the event of an accident to stop the occupant. The impingement of the piston with the compressed gas in the tank can occur through the release of the breechblock piston secured with a blocking pin or also with a projectile destroying a membrane. The compressed gas located in the container can also be brought to the necessary operating pressure by a pyrotechnical propellant charge in the event of a collision, at which pressure a rupture membrane then breaks. The maximum level of the gas pressure can be influenced by a control valve. The reduction of the gas pressure after the end of the collision can be carried out through a throttle opening.
