Abstract: In at least one embodiment of the present invention a seat-belt retractor is provided. The seat-belt retractor comprises a locking system that is controlled by means of at least one vehicle-sensitive sensor. The sensor has an alignment mass for autonomous alignment and is configured to pivot on the seat-belt retractor when the angular installation position of the seat-belt retractor is changed and when the seat-belt is extended, the sensor can be fixed in position by a blocking device. The blocking device is friction-controlled by the rotation of the belt shaft in the extension direction. The blocking device includes a rotatably mounted blocking lever which can be displaced into a release position for the sensor by a control lever that is coupled to the belt shaft by a friction coupling when the belt shaft rotates in a retraction direction.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a trigger mechanism for handguns, particularly pistols, with a striking lever (2), a first striking spring (3) that is assigned to the striking lever (2) and serves for acting upon the striking lever (2) in the firing direction, a trigger (12) and a trigger rod (13) that is connected to the trigger (12) and releases the striking lever (2) in a tensioned position in order to fire a shot. In order to generate a constant firing energy with variable trigger resistances and trigger paths, the striking lever (2) is acted upon in the firing direction by a second striking spring (5) that is arranged parallel to the first striking spring (3).

Abstract: A pretensioner coupling for a seat belt retractor for a motor vehicle of a type having a belt shaft and a pretensioner drive for winding the belt shaft. The pretensioner coupling having a coupling latch movably arranged between a release position and an engagement position. The coupling latch produces a load-transmitting rotational connection between the belt shaft and the pretensioner drive when in the engagement position and movable out of the engagement position and into the release position to permit relative rotation between the belt shaft and the pretensioner drive.

Abstract: The invention relates to a grip for a handgun, in particular a pistol, having a grip module (1) made of plastic and a metal carrier element (2) that is insertable into said grip module (1). In order to enable a simple and cost-effective adaptation to the widest variety of demands of the marksman, a magazine shaft (4), projecting downward from the grip module (1) and onto which is slipped a grip shell module (3), is formed as a part of the carrier element (2).
