    Abstract: A seat system includes a seat having a seatback and a seat bottom extending in a seat-forward direction from the seatback. A seatbelt retractor is mounted to the seatback and an anchor is carried by the seat bottom and movable seat-rearward and seat-forward between a retracted position and an extended position. A seatbelt webbing extends from the seatbelt retractor and is attached to the anchor. An actuator is operatively coupled to the anchor to move the anchor between the retracted position and the extended position. A lock is operable to selectively retain the anchor in the retracted position.

    Abstract: A belt shaft housing (40) for a belt shaft of a seatbelt system comprises a shaft holder (42) for holding the belt shaft, a securing component (48) including a retaining portion (88), and at least one fixing element (74) that is configured to fasten the belt shaft within the shaft holder (42). The securing component (48) is fastened to the shaft holder (42) such that it can adopt an assembly position and a securing position, wherein the fixing element (74) is released in the assembly position and is secured to the shaft holder (42) in the securing position. Further, a belt shaft including a webbing, a belt pin and a sleeve-shaped axle is provided. There is moreover provided a belt tensioner, especially an end fitting tensioner, comprising such belt shaft housing (40) and such belt shaft as well as a method for assembling such belt tensioner.

    Abstract: A locking web retractor includes a spool mounted between side walls of a frame and rotatable in web take-up and pay out directions, and a locking apparatus including a toothed wheel rotatable with the spool, a movable component and a lock pawl. The movable component moves between a locking position in which it forces an engagement end of the lock pawl into engagement with the toothed wheel to prevent the spool from rotating in the web pay out direction, and an unlocking position in which the movable component does not force the engagement end of the lock pawl toward the toothed wheel. The lock pawl defines a counterweight at an opposite end and configured, in the unlocking position of the movable component, to cause the lock pawl to move in a direction which draws the engagement end of the lock pawl away from the toothed wheel.

    Abstract: A vehicle includes a seatbelt retractor including a housing and a spool rotatably supported by the housing. The seatbelt retractor includes a load limiter fixed to the spool and lockable with the housing. The load limiter has a first coupling and a second coupling spaced from the first coupling on the rotational axis. The first coupling has a first energy absorber retained in a first cavity. The first energy absorber is compressible relative to a first male segment and a first female segment of the coupling. The second coupling has a second energy absorber retained in a second cavity. The second energy absorber is compressible relative to a second male segment and a second female segment of the second coupling.

    Abstract: An occupant protection device includes the following:



    a seatbelt having a lap belt portion that restrains a waist portion of an occupant;
    an inflator that discharges an inflating gas;
    an airbag that is provided in the lap belt portion, the airbag including a bag main body portion, which receives the occupant by inflating owing to the inflating gas being supplied, and a conduit portion, which is connected to the inflator, guides the inflating gas discharged from the inflator to the bag main body portion, and causes the inflating gas to flow into the bag main body portion; and
    a tether that links the conduit portion and a side wall portion, of a left side wall portion and a right side wall portion of the bag main body portion when inflation is completed, on a side separated from the inflator in a left-right direction.

    Abstract: A seat-belt retractor comprising a seat-belt spindle which is rotatably mounted in a housing, an electric motor for driving the seat-belt spindle, and a gear mechanism that transmits the rotational motion from the electric motor to the seat-belt spindle, where the gear mechanism, when deactivated, can be driven as an assembly for driving the seat-belt spindle with a first torque; the seat-belt retractor has a first part, which, when a tensile force exerted by the seat-belt is exceeded, is driven in a rotational motion opposite to the rotational direction of the electric motor; and a braking device, which brakes the rotational motion of the first part, thereby actuating a blocking device blocking a second part of the gear mechanism, the blocking device activating the gear mechanism to transmit the rotational motion of the electric motor in a reduction ratio to the seat-belt spindle.
