  • Belt roller with a switchable spring arrangement
    Patent number: 6454198
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a belt roller having a wind-up spring disposed between a housing part and a shaft onto which the belt is wound, the wind-up spring effecting wind-up rotation of the shaft, and a comfort spring serially actuable in connection with the wind-up spring via a ratchet gear and exerting a lesser spring force than the wind-up spring. A reduction drive is provided for switching between the wind-up spring and the comfort spring, the reduction drive having a follower gear for controlling a switch lever, whereby the reduction relationship of the reduction drive is arranged such that the rotation which begins with uncoiling of the belt and continues until the reaching of the switch point for switching the wind-up spring effects less than a complete rotation of the follower gear.
