  • Publication number: 20110121121
    Abstract: A force limiter (18) for a belt retractor (8) includes a torsion rod (19) which can be twisted for the purpose of force limitation, the torsion rod (19) consisting of one of an austenitic steel, for example an austenitic stainless steel which is able to be cold-formed, and a dual phase steel. The invention further relates to a method for manufacturing such a force limiter (18).

  • Patent number: 5395053
    Abstract: In order to limit the rotational frequency of the nozzle body in the housing in a rotor nozzle for a high-pressure cleaning device with a housing provided in a front wall with a pan-shaped bearing for the front, spherical end of a nozzle body having a through-bore, with an insert for a liquid opening tangentially into the housing, the liquid in the housing being caused to rotate thereby about the longitudinal axis of the housing, so that the nozzle body rotates together with the rotating liquid and thereby abuts with a contact surface at its periphery on the inside wall of the housing, whereby the longitudinal axis of the nozzle body is inclined in relation to the longitudinal axis of the housing, it is suggested that a braking member is mounted in the nozzle body at its back end facing away from the front, spherical end for displacement in longitudinal direction of the nozzle body and that a contact surface is arranged adjacent to the back end of the nozzle body at the end face in the housing, the braking me
