ABSTRACT:
A seat belt retractor angularly and displaceably secured to the floor pan of a motor vehicle so as to ensure a smooth belt extending operation and also prevent wear on the side edges of the belt. A mechanical inertia locking device is provided with the seat belt retractor, which locking device is required to be normally held in its horizontal position to ensure satisfactory locking operation upon the sudden deceleration of the vehicle. For the purpose, a quadric crank chain or a gear train is linked with the inertia locking device in order to hole it horizontally regardless of the angular movement of the seat belt retractor.
