ABSTRACT:
To allow a weight type acceleration sensor to be employed as an acceleration sensor of a seat belt retractor which is incorporated in a seat back. A seat belt retractor 80 is attached to a seat back 14 and a cable winder 20 is attached to a portion where a supporting arm 12 and a shaft 18 for inclining the seat back 14 are connected to each other. The supporting arm 12 projects from a seat cushion 10 for supporting the seat back 14. Corresponding to the inclination of the seat back 14, the cable winder 20 rotates so that a cable 70 laid between the cable winder 20 and the seat belt retractor 80 is unwound or wound from/onto the winder 20. The attitude of the acceleration sensor 92 attached to the seat belt retractor 80 is controlled by the unwinding or winding of the cable 70 so that the acceleration sensor 92 always stands perpendicularly.
