ABSTRACT:
Comfort feature method and apparatus providing fictional resistance to retraction of the static loop of an automotive vehicle emergency inertia responsive shoulder belt retractor system. A light comfortable back tension imposed by shoulder belt engagement contact with the occupant is sufficient to initiate self-energized frictional resistance to arrest relatively heavy tension retraction without preventing belt retraction to an occupant contact or completely retracted condition upon any slack arising from occupant movement belt disengagement.
