ABSTRACT:
An apparatus (10) for tensioning safety belt webbing (16) during sudden vehicle deceleration includes a buckle (22), a telescoping frame (26) and an actuator drive (28). The telescoping frame (26) includes first and second frame segments (40) and (42). The buckle (22) is attached to the first frame segment (40). The second frame segment (42) is anchored to the vehicle. The frame segments (40, 42) have a common axis (20) and are slidable relative to each other along the axis (20) to reduce the overall length of the telescoping frame (26). The actuator drive (28) is axially aligned with the telescoping frame (26) and includes a cylinder (138) and a piston (140). The cylinder (138) and piston (140) are movable relative to each other to lengthen the actuator drive (28). The actuator drive (28) is interconnected with the telescoping frame (26) such that lengthening of the actuator drive (28) causes shortening of the telescoping frame (26) to move the buckle 22 and tension the safety belt webbing 16.
