ABSTRACT:
A vehicle seat belt retractor (10) includes a rotatable spool (170) on which seat belt webbing (16) is wound. An actuator (230) is selectively rotatable with the spool (170) to actuate a primary belt locking mechanism (270) to block withdrawal of belt webbing (16) from the retractor (10) in a vehicle emergency situation. A cinch mechanism (400) is actuatable in response to withdrawal of a predetermined amount of belt webbing (16) from the spool (170). The cinch mechanism (400) is supported on the actuator (230) for rotation with the actuator.
