Abstract

Selon l'invention, une charge agissant sur une ceinture de sécurité est limitée par une barre de torsion (12) lorsqu'une bobine (9) et une base oscillante (20) tournent l'une par rapport à l'autre. Lorsque la bobine (9) tourne d'une valeur prédéterminée par rapport à la base oscillante (20), un élément de butée (23) presse un élément EA (27) pour saisir l'élément EA (27) entre l'élément de butée (23) et la section de corps (20a) de la base oscillante (20). Lorsque la bobine (9) tourne à nouveau par rapport à la base oscillante (20), l'élément de butée (23) presse et écrase l'élément EA (27) pour réaliser une opération de limitation de charge de ceinture de sécurité. Lorsque le mouvement de l'élément de butée (23) est interrompu, l'opération de limitation de charge de ceinture de sécurité par la barre de torsion (12) est achevée. Ainsi, l'opération de limitation de charge de ceinture de sécurité par l'élément EA (27) est réalisée immédiatement avant que l'opération de limitation de charge de ceinture de sécurité par la barre de torsion (12) ne soit achevée.
