Claims6
A vehicular seatbelt retractor for winding and releasing a length of webbing from spool, said vehicular seatbelt retractor comprising:
- a frame, including:
- openings formed at the center of each of a pair of foot portions, on an upper portion of each of which a frictional tooth portion is formed in a predetermined arc, and
- a groove portion having a larger size than that of the opening of one foot portion and larger than a circular arc portion of the openings;
- a spool including:
- a pair of flanges, extended in a circular arc from either side of said spool, to be positioned adjacent each of the pair of foot portions,
- a mounting block, projected in a circular form from one side of one flange, to have a smaller diameter than that of the flanges, and
- a first sprocket integrally projected from one side of another flange to be received in the groove portion;
- a receptacle including:
- a first case enabling the movement of the mounting block therein, and
- a second case receiving a spring therein;
- a webbing control device including:
- a locking element cooperated with the first sprocket of the spool,
- a retainer, mounted adjacent the first sprocket, having a hook ring coupled to a guide pin of the locking element, and
- a clutch wheel, coupled with a mass member, wherein upon webbing acceleration, the mass member forces a latch of a wing of the mass member to be passed over the tops of the teeth of a first tooth portion of the clutch wheel;
- and
- a pawl device, mounted in the lower inner portion of a cover adjacent the clutch wheel, to engage a pawl end using a second tooth portion of the clutch wheel.
