Abstract

The device for retracting the belt of safety belts, in particular for motor-vehicles, is comprised of a U-shaped housing and a winding-on shaft for the belt. The housing has a bottom as well as two parallel sides positioned at a right angle to the bottom, and is provided with two locking cams as well as two elongated slots, which in each instance extend in the one and the other side respectively, substantially parallel to the pulling-out direction of the belt, and which are closed at one end. The winding-on shaft is provided at both ends with a locking disc with locking teeth on the outer periphery, and is supported in the elongated slots of the housing in such a manner that it can turn and so that it can move crosswise against the action of a spring-loading in the pulling-out direction of the belt so as to ensure an engaging of the toothing of the locking discs with the locking cams of the housing. The two sides of the housing extend substantially over its entire length and are in each instance approximately L-shaped with a broader section in the zone adjacent to the locking cams and a narrower section in the remaining zone of the housing, the two elongated slots of the housing extending into the broader section of the housing sides and with the closed ends of the slots facing towards the locking cams.
