Abstract

See full text

A seat belt retractor of the present invention is provided with a stopper (16). When a cam follower (16a (sic)) of the stopper (16) is located in an arcuate retraction groove portion (22a) or a linear groove portion (22b) of a cam groove (22), a seat belt (4) is withdrawn by an amount exceeding a predetermined amount for the normal belt wearing. A stopper portion (16b) of the stopper (16) is located at an engagement allowing position (B) so as to allow engagement between ratchet teeth (27) of a locking gear (26) and an engaging pawl (24d) of a vehicle sensor (24). When the cam follower (16a (sic)) is located in an arcuate protraction groove portion (22c) of the cam groove (22), the maximum amount of the seat belt (4) is wound. The stopper portion (16b) of the stopper (16) is located at an engagement preventing position (A) so as to prevent the engagement between the ratchet teeth (27) and the engaging pawl (24d), thereby preventing end lock.
