Behúzó

Behúzó is a Hungarian noun derived from the verb behúzni, meaning to pull in, draw back or retract. In general usage, a behúzó refers to any device, mechanism or component that applies inward movement or retracts an element toward a central position or inside a housing. The exact meaning depends on the context, but the common thread is a pulling or drawing action.

In technical and industrial contexts the term is used for retraction devices. Examples include mechanisms that pull or retract cords, tapes, belts or other flexible elements into a safe or compact position. Such behúzó mechanisms are often spring-loaded or actuated by a motor, and they appear in a range of everyday objects, from retractable measuring tapes and cord reels to window blinds and various automated systems where material needs to be drawn back under control. The characteristic feature of a behúzó in these settings is that it converts energy or force into a controlled inward movement.

The word can also describe a person or role involved in pulling or drawing in a process or operation, for instance someone responsible for drawing in or securing materials during handling or assembly. Because behúzó is a generic term linked to the action of pulling, its precise definition is typically clarified by accompanying descriptors (for example, behúzó mechanizmus, behúzó eszköz, behúzó személy).
