Abstract
An inclination-compensatable safety belt reeling device connected to a vehicle seat, wherein the part of the vehicle seat to which the safety belt reeling device is connected is inclination-adjustable relative to an axis extending to the center of the earth, has a vehicle-sensitive acceleration sensor to be oriented in a nominal position to the center of the earth. A pendulum device with a pendulum mass acts on the acceleration sensor for returning the acceleration sensor into the nominal position when an inclination change occurs. An inertia mass in the form of a deceleration mass sensitive to horizontal acceleration forces is provided. A stationary blocking toothing is also provided. The pendulum mass has laterally projecting arms with guide projections extending in a direction of movement of the deceleration mass. The deceleration mass is positioned with slotted holes on the guide projections so as to be slidingly linearly guided. The deceleration mass has at least one counter toothing for engaging the blocking toothing when deflected from a rest position in order to arrest the pendulum device at the safety belt reeling device. The center of gravity of the deceleration mass in t…
