ABSTRACT:
A flat seat belt retractor in which the seat belt webbing is retracted into an elongated housing and stored in a flat condition as opposed to winding the webbing around a spool. By incorporating a flat webbing retractor into a vehicle seat back, the seat belt retractor can be packaged in a seat back without requiring enough space to store a bulky spool type retractor. In a preferred embodiment, the retractor is incorporated into a structural member of the seat back frame to reduce the overall number of components required in the seat back for both the frame and the retractor.
