Device for passive actuation of a safety belt

摘要

A device for passive actuation of a safety belt includes an elongated force transmission member with an engaging member secured to the transmission member so that a certain amount of play is present in the elongated direction between the transmission member and the engaging member. A locking device is arranged to receive and secure the engaging member in the locked position. A release member is secured to the force transmission member so that it moves with the transmission member while the transmission member moves relative to the engaging member whereby the release member can contact and displace the locking device out of locking contact with the engaging member. With the engaging member released from the locked position when the certain amount of play is traversed by the force transmission member, the transmission member carries the engaging member along with it.
