Abstract

See full text

A safety belt retractor in which the reel is supported on a movable frame which cooperates with a braking mechanism such that when the reel locks, subsequent belt tension displaces the movable frame into camming engagement with a pivoting braking mechanism to shift a brake shoe into direct contact with the belt web. The brake shoe is supported on the braking mechanism for movement relative thereto. The brake shoe and its mounting portions preferably have complementary interfitting bearing surfaces which share a common axis of curvature, with the bearing surface on the brake shoe being convex, and the complementary surface on the cam being concave.
