Abstract

Device for motorized movement of a safety belt in a motor vehicle from a stored position to a deployed position, has a drive including a pinion drivable in opposite rotation directions; a toothed rack meshing with the pinion and having a component part structured to loosely hold the safety belt at an end portion thereof, the component part being seated in an interior region of the motor vehicle when the safety belt is in the stored position and having an elongated guide carriage and toothed rack provided with a slide guide extending in a longitudinal direction in the toothed rack, the slide guide and the elongated guide carriage being structured so that the guide carriage is slidable in the slide guide; and a mechanism for displacing the component part relative to the toothed rack in a direction the component part moves during motion of the safety belt into the deployed position against a spring force.
