ABSTRACT:
A seat belt retractor having a rattle suppression mechanism to be operative when the retractor is not in use including a gear mechanism driven by a seat belt supporting reel and coupled to drive a pawl control mechanism between a first position holding a reel locking pawl in an inoperative position, when the seat belt is fully wound and immobilizing the pawl against rattling, and a second position, when the seat belt is protracted, in which the pawl is released for movement into a locking position with ratchet wheels on the reel. Preferably, the pawl control mechanism includes a gear mechanism that assures that the belt must be wound on the reel before the pawl is driven to engage and is held against an inertia member to prevent rattling therebetween. The pawl is also held spaced from the ratchet teeth, when it is immobilized, to prevent rattling.
