In a webbing take-up device, an angle from one end portion toward another end portion of a second clutch spring in a direction of winding of a coil portion from the one end portion toward the another end portion of the second clutch spring is 270°. Therefore, in a case in which the one end portion of the second clutch spring is rotated toward a side of the direction of the winding of the coil portion, one end side portion of the second clutch spring is displaced so as to bulge-out toward a side opposite to a side toward which another end side portion bulges-out.

The invention describes a mainspring (10) for a belt retractor (24). Furthermore, a belt retractor (24) for a seat belt device of a vehicle is provided which comprises a belt reel (26) which is supported rotatably about a central axis (26a) in a belt retractor housing (28), and a mainspring (10) for rotationally restoring the belt reel (26). Accordingly, the mainspring (10) includes plural windings (30) extending in a substantially helically nested manner in its state mounted in the belt retractor (24). The mainspring (10) is disposed substantially concentrically to the central axis (26a).

The invention relates to a belt retractor for a seatbelt device of a motor vehicle, having a belt shaft, rotatably mounted in a frame, for winding up a seatbelt of the seatbelt device, wherein the frame has two opposing wall sections oriented in parallel with one another and each having a bearing opening, in which wall sections the belt shaft is rotatably mounted, and a spring housing secured to one of the wall sections and having a return spring arranged therein, which is connected to the spring housing at a first end and rotationally fixed to the belt shaft at a second end, wherein the spring housing is radially elastically retained on the wall section.

A vehicle mirror and camera mounting system includes a camera mounting bracket that includes an injection molded bracket formed by injection molding a polymeric molding resin. A camera, when its camera module is attached at the camera mounting bracket at the vehicle windshield, has a field of view through the vehicle windshield. The camera mounting bracket includes a mirror attachment portion configured for attaching an interior rearview mirror assembly thereat. At least one cover element is attached at (i) the camera mounting bracket, (ii) the camera module and/or (iii) the mirror mount so that the camera module and the camera mounting bracket are not readily viewable to a person viewing the construction from inside the vehicle. The mirror mount includes an electrical connector for electrical connection to (i) a connector at the camera module or (ii) a wire harness of the vehicle, with the connection hidden from view.
