Abstract
In a coupling (18) for a belt tensioner (10) in a vehicle comprising an input element (26), an output element (34), a coupling element (28) which is movably supported between an initial position and an activated position and in the activated position couples the input element (26) to the output element (34), and a control element (36) which upon movement of the input element (26) relative to the control element (36) moves the coupling element (28) between the initial position and the activated position, the control element (36) is coupled to an inertia mass (36).

A coupling (18) for a belt tensioner (10) in a vehicle, comprising an input element (26), an output element (34), a coupling element (28) which is movably supported on the input element (26) between an initial position and an activated position and in the activated position couples the input element (26) to the output element (34), and comprising a control element (36) which upon movement of the input element (26) relative to the control element (36) moves the coupling element (28) between the initial position and the activated position, wherein the control element (36) is coupled to an inertia mass (44), the inertia mass (44) being rotatable with the control element (36).
