International ClassB60R 022/28Foreign Application Priority Data1987-06-30 JPAbstractWhen a tensile force of at least a predetermined value is applied to a webbing, a webbing retractor allows the webbing to extend over a length increased beyond that available from mere tightening of the webbing wound on a take-up spindle by the tensile force. The retractor includes a base; the take-up spindle carrying the webbing fastened at one end thereof to the take-up spindle; a lock device for locking rotation of the take-up spindle in a webbing-releasing direction; and a webbing-extension increasing member capable of undergoing a deformation or collapse in a transmission route of the tensile force from the take-up spindle to the base upon application of the tensile force subsequent to locking of the take-up spindle by the lock device.Field of SearchResilientResilient Having belt retractor mounted on vehicle closure Inertia responsive locking or tightening of belt or harness Retractable Shoulder belt or harness With means to absorb energy of acceleration Deformable or stretchable element Element is permanently deformed; i.e., one-time use Having means to lock belt against further extension when in its occupant-restraining position Electrically operated Inertia actuated Having means to lock belt against further extension when in its occupant-restraining position Inertia-responsive locking or tightening of belt or harness | |
