ABSTRACT:
The device for winding up an elongate flexible element, such as a vehicle safety belt of U.S. Pat. No. 3,970,266 comprises a casing, an axle mounted in the casing and rotationally fast therewith, a hollow winding-drum rotatably mounted in the casing coaxial with and surrounding the axle, an annular piston positioned between the drum and axle and axially movable relative thereto between initial and final positions, an annular pressure chamber defined within the drum by piston, a pyrotechnic charge for pressurizing the pressure chamber with combustion gases therefrom to propel the piston axially along said drum and axle from the initial position to the final position, first cooperable guide means on the piston and the drum, and second cooperable guide means on the piston and the axle and is improved by providing an annular piston which is formed by two annular half-pistons, one of the half-pistons cooperates through the first guide means with the drum, the other of the half-pistons cooperating through the second guide means with the shaft, and the half-pistons have means for interconnecting the half-pistons to move together. The interconnecting means is constituted by substantially radial teeth formed on the opposed faces of the half-pistons. A restraining mechanism is interposed between the drum and the shaft for opposing rotation of the drum relative to the shaft.
