Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020078495A1] The invention relates to a retraction device (10) comprising a housing (20) and a driving element (60), which is guided in the housing between a parked position (62) and an end position (61), wherein a first end (112) of a spring energy accumulator (111) is connected to the housing, and the spring energy accumulator is loaded to a maximum operating value when the driving element is in the parked position and is unloaded to a residual energy value when the driving element is in the end position. A second end (113) of the spring energy accumulator can either be fixed to the housing or can be coupled to the driving element by means of a bistable coupling (150). The coupling has a blocking element (140) which can be moved between the housing and the driving element. By virtue of the invention, a low-noise retraction device with a long service life is developed.
