ABSTRACT:
The webbing retractor according to the present invention is suitably applied to a passive seatbelt system of the type, wherein one end of a webbing is secured to a door, whereby the webbing for restraining an occupant is automatically fastened to the occupant in accordance with the opening or closing of a door. Said retractor is provided therein with a release lever for forcedly separating a pawl meshed with a ratchet wheel solidly secured to a windup shaft so as to stop a webbing windoff rotation of the windup shaft in an emergency of the vehicle. Said retractor is further provided with a holding device for holding a condition where the release lever has been moved, so that the webbing can be unfastened from the occupant even when the vehicle is stopped in a tilted condition, thereby enabling the occupant to escape from the vehicle.
