  • Publication number: 20260326707
    Abstract: A belt retractor comprises a frame, a belt reel (12) arranged rotatably in the frame, a locking mechanism by which the belt reel (12) can be locked in the frame, and a load limiter which is releasably coupled to the belt reel (12). For coupling the load limiter, at least one load-limiting latch (20) is provided which is arranged on the belt reel (12) and is maintained in a coupling position by a support ring (24), wherein the support ring (24) can be moved out of a support position into a release position by means of an actuator. The support ring (24) includes a contact projection (26) associated with the load-transmitting latch (20) on the side of which the load-transmitting latch (20) abuts with a contact face (56), wherein the contact projection (26) has an expansion in the axial direction which corresponds at least to the expansion of the contact face (56) in the axial direction.

  • Patent number: 11557945
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electrotechnical coil, to a method for producing same, and to an electromagnet or an electric machine comprising at least one such coil. The aim of the invention is to produce and use an electrotechnical coil for achieving an increased slot fill factor reliably and easily in a reproducible and economical manner. This is achieved in that the method according to the invention has the steps: step A: casting an electrotechnical coil with at least one winding which runs about a coil axis; and step B: shaping the coil, thereby changing the cross-section Q, Q? of the at least one winding, such that the centroid FS, FS? of the cross-section Q, Q? of the at least one winding is displaced at least partly in the radial direction R relative to the coil axis A.
