ABSTRACT:
A webbing retainer plate retains an end portion of a length of belt webbing within a seat belt retractor spool. The spool includes a spindle and a hollow sleeve spaced outwardly of the spindle and rotatable with the spindle. An opening in the sleeve allows the end of a length of belt webbing to extend into the sleeve. The end of the belt is sewn in a loop and encloses a central portion of the webbing retainer plate. The central portion of the plate clamps the webbing loop against the sleeve and against the spindle, to block the belt end portion from being withdrawn from the sleeve. The webbing retainer plate has two arm portions which extend from the central portion. The plate arm portions engage the inner peripheral surface of the sleeve to maintain the plate in position lodged within the sleeve. The end portion of the belt webbing, including the sewn loop, is located within the outer peripheral surface of the sleeve. This allows the belt webbing to be wound smoothly on the exterior of the sleeve.
