A locking web retractor includes a frame including spaced-apart side walls, a spool rotatably mounted between the side walls, the spool rotatable in a web take-up pay out directions, locking components operatively coupled to the spool, a ferromagnetic component movable relative to the locking components between an unlocking position in which the ferromagnetic component does not cause the locking components to prevent the spool from rotating in the web pay out direction and a locking position in which the ferromagnetic component causes the locking components to prevent the spool from rotating in the web pay out direction, a magnet responsive to actuation to cause the ferromagnetic component to move from the unlocking position to the locking position to cause the locking components to prevent the spool from rotating in the web pay out direction, and means for actuating the magnet.

The present invention relates to a safety belt retractor, including a bracket, a spool, a locking device, a vehicle sensing device with an adaptive vehicle sensing function and a vehicle sensing adaptivity suppression device. The vehicle sensing adaptivity suppression device includes a driven part (8) and a suppression part (7) that can be held on the driven part by an adhesive force. The driven part has a sliding track, and the suppression part has a sliding portion which can slide on the sliding track against the adhesive force. The suppression part has a retainer, and a sensing seat has a counter retainer that cooperates with the retainer. A retaining connection isn't formed when the suppression part is in the first end position, and is formed when the suppression part leaves away from the first end position to a predetermined extent. Here, the mechanism for achieving the vehicle sensing adaptivity suppression function is simple in structure and low in cost, and can effectively suppress the adaptivity of the vehicle sensing function. The present invention further relates to a safety belt assembly comprising such a safety belt assembly.

A retractor restraint system is provided for securing wheelchairs and/or people in vehicles. The system includes a housing, a retractor reel mounted to the housing rotatably in a positive and a negative direction of rotation for receiving a belt which can be coupled to a wheelchair, an arresting unit for arresting the reel to prevent rotation in the negative direction of rotation in an operating state of the retractor restraint system, a clamping unit arranged at the housing for releasably clamping fast the belt unwound from the reel, and a triggering mechanism for actuation of the clamping unit. The triggering mechanism is coupled to the arresting unit and the reel in such a way that the clamping unit is actuated when a torque acts on the reel in the negative direction of rotation and the reel is arrested by the arresting unit.

The disclosure relates to a supporting and securing device that is fixed to a scooter-like vehicle or similar by means of a gripping mechanism to secure and grip a user of the vehicle. The device includes a mechanism configured to roll up and lock a belt that surrounds the user, securing and supporting him or her and surrounding a part of his or her back. The mechanism automatically adjusts to the user's position and includes a pressing assembly that allows the length of the unwound belt to be fixed, and a coupling element that connects to a main case. The disclosure also relates to the vehicle including the described device. The disclosure falls within the technical field of parts of vehicles, more specifically vehicle safety belts or harnesses or ease of use while driving.

A seat belt retractor including a spool and a measurement mechanism for determining a measure of the amount of seat belt webbing unwound from the spool. The measurement mechanism includes cycloidal gear transmission. A sensor is provided for detecting movement of a magnet mounted on a sensing gear and a controller may be provided for determining a measure indicating the amount of rotation of the spool and the amount of webbing withdrawal based on the movement of the magnet.

A seat belt take-up control system includes: a first belt-take-up unit mounted at a child seat, the first belt-take-up unit taking up a seat belt of a vehicle seat and applying a predetermined tension at a time of fastening the seat belt; a belt lock unit that prevents pulling out of the seat belt in a state which the seat belt has been taken up by the first belt-take-up unit; and an second belt-take-up unit that, in a state in which pulling out of the seat belt has been locked by the belt lock unit, takes up the seat belt and applies a predetermined tension after the seat belt is fastened in at least one of a case in which pulling out of the seat belt is detected or a case in which a predetermined period of time has elapsed.

A modal restraint system for an occupant of a seat of an aircraft includes a strap feeder unit and a strap selectively retractable into and extendable from the strap feeder unit. The strap is positionable adjacent to the occupant so as to dispose the occupant between the strap and the seat. The strap feeder unit is adapted to switch between a plurality of modes including a fixed mode and an unfixed mode. The strap is substantially unextendable from the strap feeder unit in the fixed mode. The strap is extendable from and retractable into the strap feeder unit in the unfixed mode. The strap feeder unit is in the fixed mode by default. The strap feeder unit is operable to switch to the unfixed mode in response to a user input, thereby increasing freedom of movement of the occupant relative to the seat of the aircraft.
