ABSTRACT:
A webbing clamp assembly (10) for blocking movement of belt webbing (18) in a vehicle occupant restraint system includes first and second clamp members (70, 72) having first and second clamping surfaces (76, 86). The clamping surfaces (76, 86) define between them a passage (90) through which the belt webbing (18) is movable in a belt withdrawal direction (20). An initiator member (120) has a first portion (130) movable into engagement with the belt webbing (18) to couple the initiator member (120) for movement with the belt webbing (18) in the first direction (20). The webbing clamp assembly (10) includes an actuator (30, 42) for moving the initiator member first portion (130) into engagement with the belt webbing (18). The initiator member (120) has a portion (122) engageable with the first clamp member (70) to move the first clamp member (70) from a released condition to an engaged condition and thereby clamp the belt webbing (18) when the belt webbing (18) and the initiator member (120) move in the first direction (20). The initiator member portion (122) extends through an opening (82) in the first clamp member (70).
