A belt retractor having a belt shaft having a shaft body, a profile head and a torsion bar, wherein the torsion bar arranged in the shaft body is connected on one end to the shaft body and on a second end to the profile head, and the profile head can be securely attached to the vehicle, and having a belt pretensioner, wherein a pretensioner drive wheel of the belt pretensioner is directly connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the profile head of the belt shaft, and mass bodies can be engaged with the pretensioner drive wheel so as to transmit force to drive the belt shaft in winding direction. The pretensioner drive wheel (16) is configured by means of two parts, the profile head (1) of the belt shaft and a push-on ring (2) that is pushed onto the profile head (1) and is positively and non-positively connected thereto, wherein respectively mutually opposite dome-shaped partial receiving socket segments (3), which form together receiving sockets for the mass bodies, are formed on the profile head (1) and on the push-on ring (2).

Provided is a pretensioner that can be easily and accurately assembled and manufactured, a seat belt retractor, and a seat belt apparatus provided with the seat belt retractor. A pretensioner has at least a gas generator for generating gas in the event of an emergency, a case, a pipe mounted to the case, a predetermined number of drive transmission members that are movably provided in the pipe and moved by receiving gas pressure to transmit force for rotating the spool in the seat-belt retracting direction, a piston that is movably provided in the pipe and moved by receiving gas pressure to push the drive transmission members, a ring gear that is at least rotatably provided in the case, has, on the outer periphery thereof, a plurality of pressed portions pressed by the drive transmission members, and rotates the spool by the pressing force, and an elastic member attached to the gas generator side of the piston.

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 force transfer element for an apparatus for belt tightening is provided, wherein the force transfer element is a rod-shaped body that is essentially structured over its total length and/or is formed from at least a first and a second part.

A winding device includes a base, a driving member and two operation gears. The winding device further includes two shafts extending through each of the arms, each of the operation gears, and each of the ears. The base is provided with two arms. The driving member is provided with two ears. Each of the operation gears has a plurality of toothed portions and a plurality of push grooves. Each of the toothed portions has a release face. Each of the arms is provided with a first slideway in which a first push member is slidably mounted. Each of the ears is provided with a second slideway in which a second push member is slidably mounted. Thus, the driving member is driven reciprocally to wind the safety belt gradually, such that the tension of the safety belt is adjusted.

Provided are a seat belt retractor and a seat belt device capable of stably supplying components and avoiding an increase in cost even when an injection body made of resin is used.

A spool 2 which winds up webbing which restrains an occupant, a base frame 3 which accommodates the spool 2 so as to be rotatable, a spring unit 4 which biases the spool 2 in a winding direction, a pretensioner 5 capable of winding up the webbing in an emergency, and a lock mechanism 6 capable of stopping withdrawal of the webbing are provided, the pretensioner 5 including a rotating body 51 concentrically connected to the spool 2 and an injection body 52a made of resin which rotates the rotating body 51, the rotating body 51 made of metal having a wall thickness T half a diameter D of the injection body 52a or smaller.

In a belt retractor (10) comprising a frame (12), a sensor (16) for vehicle-sensitive blocking including a sensor lever (22), a belt reel (14) and a rocker arm (30) coupled to the belt reel (14) via a coupling (32) which is adjustable between a home position in which the sensor lever (22) is blocked and an extended position in which the sensor lever (22) is released, the coupling (32) is a wrap spring coupling comprising a drive element (34) coupled to the belt reel (14) as well as a driven element (40) connected to the rocker arm (30), wherein the drive element (34) and the driven element (40) include a respective annular outer friction surface (38, 44) and are arranged concentrically to each other and a coil spring (46) is provided which contacts the friction surfaces (38, 44) and couples the driven element (40) to the drive element (34).

A webbing take-up device includes clutch weights. The clutch weights are supported at the base and include engaging portions. The clutch weights move to a rotation diameter direction outer side when the base is rotated, and are capable of transmitting rotary force applied to the base to the spool. The webbing take-up device is provided with a stopper that is capable of relative rotating relative to the base and that is provided with engaged holes, each including an allowing portion and a restricting portion. The allowing portions allow movement of the engaging portions to the rotation diameter direction outer side when the base is rotating to one side. The restricting portions restrict movement of the engaging portions to the rotation diameter direction outer side when the base is rotating to the other side. The restricting portions are formed integrally with the allowing portions.
