Abstract

A self-locking safety belt reeling device for a safety belt system of motor vehicles, comprising a casing and a reeling shaft having at one end an eccentric locking member, is provided. The locking member, depending on a radial deflection resulting from a safety belt-sensitive and vehicle-sensitive locking system, contacts abutments fastened to the casing and locks the reeling shaft. The locking member is coupled with a control disk having first outer toothing and which is lockable by the vehicle-sensitive locking system embodied as a spherical sensor having a sensor lever. The safety belt-sensitive locking system is embodied as a pivotable spring-loaded inertia mass that cooperates with the locking member. The locking member is pivotable into engagement with an inner toothing provided at a bearing cup connected to the casing. The inner toothing is connected to a second outer toothing. The inner toothing and the second outer toothing are mounted on a member which is freely rotatable relative to the bearing cup and which is lockable by an outwardly arranged lever engaging the second outer toothing for rendering the locking systems operational or non-operational. The outwardly arrang…
