Device for receiving and releasing a cable-type tension element

A device for receiving and releasing a cable-type tension element, the device comprising:

• the cable-type tension element designed to transmit tensile forces,
• a receiving unit designed to receive the tension element so that a free length of the tension element extending away from the receiving unit is shortened, or to release the tension element so that a free length of the tension element extending away from the receiving unit is lengthened,
• a drive unit designed to drive the receiving unit,
• a stop element which is connected to the tension element at a predefined point such that the stop element is immovable at least axially in relation to a longitudinal extension of the tension element, and
• a counter-stop element through which at least portions of the tension element are led and which is designed to come into contact with the stop element,
• wherein the stop element is connected to the receiving unit such that, after a predefined length of tension element has been released from the receiving unit and has been led through the counter-stop element, the stop element comes into contact with the counter-stop element in a force-transmitting manner.
