ABSTRACT:
A clamp mechanism (30) clamps seat belt webbing (24). The clamp mechanism (30) has an actuated position in which the belt webbing (24) is clamped and an unactuated position in which the belt webbing may move relative to the clamp mechanism. A linkage mechanism includes a shaft member (58) pivotable about a first axis (50) and a link (62) carried by the shaft member (58) and pivotable about a second axis which is the axis of the shaft member (58). The shaft member (58) pivots about the first axis (50) when a predetermined tension force is applied to one portion of the belt webbing (24). The link (62) pivots about the second axis when the shaft member (58) pivots about the first axis to actuate the clamp mechanism (30) to clamp the belt webbing (24).
