摘要： A restraint system having a seat (20) and a seat suspension mechanism (40) for supporting the seat and permitting the seat to move relative to a vehicle floor, the seat suspension mechanism including two movable members (52,54) which move apart as the seat is moved closer to the floor. A seat lowering activator (100) is connected to the seat suspension mechanism for urging the movable members apart thereby forcibly urging the seat to a lower position relative to the floor during an emergency.

摘要： A safety belt retractor (10) comprised of a spool (28), a belt (40) wound on the spool (28), a ratchet wheel (48), and a torsion bar (44) interconnecting the spool (28) to the ratchet wheel (48) and capable of yielding in response to loading exerted on the belt (40) when the ratchet wheel (48) is locked against rotation. The safety belt retractor (10) also includes a holdout mechanism (18) which is normally operable in an ELR mode to permit operation of an emergency locking mechanism (16) and which can be selectively shifted into an ALR mode for locking the ratchet wheel (48) against rotation to prevent further payout of the belt (40) after a predetermined length of the belt (40) has been withdrawn from the spool (28). A timing assembly (124) functions to determine when the predetermined length of the belt (40) has been withdrawn or retracted for controlling engagement and disengagement of a latch mechanism (110). A timing clutch mechanism (20) interconnects the torsion bar (44) to the timing assembly (124) and is normally operable for driving the timing assembly (124) in response to withdrawal and retraction of the belt (40). The timing clutch mechanism (20) is further operable to permit relative movement between the torsion bar (44) and the timing assembly (124) for resetting the timing assembly (124) to a predefined set position in response to full retraction of the belt (40) after the torsion bar (44) has yielded. As such, the timing clutch mechanism (20) functions to maintain the predetermined length of the belt (40) required for selective actuation of the holdout mechanism (18) in a manner which is independent of yielding of the torsion bar (44).

摘要： A seat belt system (10) includes a retractor (18) with a spool (60), sections (26,28) of seat belt webbing (16) which define first and second shoulder belts (42,48), and a section (22) of seat belt webbing (16) which connects the shoulder belts (42,48) to the spool (60). The spool (60) is supported for unwinding rotation upon extraction of either of the shoulder belts (42,48), and for winding rotation upon retraction of either of the shoulder belts (42,48). A locking pawl (80) has a locking position blocking unwinding rotation of the spool (60). A cinch mechanism (100) moves the locking pawl (80) to the locking position in response to a predetermined amount of rotation of the spool (60). The predetermined amount of rotation includes a predetermined amount of unwinding rotation upon extraction of the first shoulder belt (42), a predetermined amount of winding rotation upon subsequent retraction of the first shoulder belt (42), and a predetermined amount of additional unwinding rotation upon extraction of the second shoulder belt (48) following retraction of the first shoulder belt (42).
