Abstract
A horizontally-mounted retractor having a horizontally elongated frame with a horizontal reel rotatably mounted therein adjacent one end. The reel includes a pair of ratchet wheels thereon and carries a rolled safety belt. A locking bar pivotally mounted in the frame is movable along a horizontal path into engagement with the ratchet wheels on the reel to stop protraction of the belt from the reel. A subassembly to actuate the locking bar includes an inertia member, which has a portion displaced vertically upon deceleration, to shift a transfer member, which is pivotally mounted to transfer this vertical displacement into a horizontal travel displacement of a programmed pawl, pivotally mounted for movement into and out of engagement with a programmed ratchet mounted on a reel. The programmed ratchet further rotates the programmed pawl about its mounting and a portion of the programmed pawl engages the locking bar to pivot the same into locking engagement with the ratchet wheels.
