ABSTRACT:
A safety belt reel assembly comprises a supporting frame, a safety belt, one end of the safety belt being attached to a spindle which may be rotatably mounted on said frame, an arrangement for automatically winding said belt onto said spindle, and a movable belt guide. The belt guide servies to ensure that the safety belt arrives at the take up point of the belt roll on the spindle in a desired orientation. This is achieved by providing a two component guide, a first component being mounted on the frame of the reel assembly and the second component being rotatably mounted on the first component and defining an elongate slot through which the safety belt may pass. With the second component rotatably mounted on the first component, the longitudinal axis of the slot through which the belt passes may rotate from a position where it lies parallel to the longitudinal axis of the reel spindle to a position where it is no longer parallel to the longitudinal spindle axis.
